I've never seen Apocalypse Now, but I get the feeling Trump has never seen Apocalypse Now.
Like pretty much every character in the film, the character Trump is cosplaying as has been driven insane by an insane war.
He tried to use Born in the USA as a campaign song. Media literacy isn’t MAGA’s strongest suit.
This would be hilarious, weren't this all hell
Literacy isn't Trump's.
He plays the mainstream media like a fiddle.
It's not that difficult now after multiple decades of decay for media organizations caused by "this quarter is all that matters" business idiot administration.
I dunno, his government tracks so far with what I remember of the film.
One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don't have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.
That's an interesting way to discover that film. You must have gone on one hell of a ride that afternoon.
We just got it on DVD. It's the "Redux" edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It's the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.
I had the redux years ago. I've come around to the theatrical being the best though.
Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there's a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I've had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well
I could believe it, but my pessimistic interpretation is that whoever made this meme has seen it and doesn't think Kilgore is a monster.
Probably thinks Lt Col Kilgore is the protagonist.
He was killing all those filthy evil Communists. Only a tankie would suggest he wasn't an epic super dude.
Every single character in that movie is a piece of shit. That one's a vainglorious piece of shit.
See the directors cut or don’t bother
Is that "Redux?" We just picked it up, but haven't watched it.
"Redux" is the extended cut, which has ~45 extra minutes of stuff that was cut from the original theatrical release. Some of the scenes are great, but some could have been left on the cutting room floor. "The Final Cut" is basically the definitive extended version.
Trump can’t surf!
Great War movie by the way. That guy is a surfer fanatic and basically requested a famous surfer to surf in a hot zone. Dude was crazy just waking on beach with bullets landing around him.
