The U.S. as a terrorizing force of chaos. Even a landing helicopter or a boat’s waves are forces of destruction. The noise rattles out of every speaker, dialogue barely intelligible, mass destruction masquerading as beauty and order. What is war good for?
The noise comes to a near halt when they find Kurtz. Dialogue is clear. The action slows. There is some element of sanity present, or so it feels, and would you choose to succumb to it?
A true masterpiece, riveting from beginning to end, horrifying and beautiful all at once, with a clear vision and a clear statement and a clear purpose.
