“I don’t see any method here at all, sir…”
War is horror. I've never been at war myself but maybe I saved my fellow soldier on an excersise when we were freezing at a temperature 30 below zero. Maybe I experienced a glimpse of it. Imagine being in a hellhole of war for weeks or years.
I don't know if I could take that. And I understand why soldiers just can't adjust to life afterwards after being to hell and back.
Some smug people would say; Well, I would just have.. No you wouldn't. You would be shitting your pants and go all hysterical if you weren't a casualty allready.
"...I went down that river once
when I was a kid..."
That cuts me deep everytime
Why?
@@gabrielM1111 Well for me that line echoes that Kurtz like us all was once long ago a child, the line makes me feel the memory of the tragic loss of youthful innocence which in the present moment feels as if that time occurred at a time which now feels ancient .
That's just me.
@@ArchiveAcheron This is why I love reading the comment section. That’s such an awesome, in-depth way of looking at this scene
That's a real memory that Brando put into the scene if you watch the making of. Almost all his lines were ad libs.
‘You’re Neither!!!! You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect the bill!!!!
That was my favorite line in the movie!!!!!
Absolutely
Add the staring face of Brando to the camera enhances that grocery clerk line! 😬
@@torpedodropkick59 A man possessed!!!!!:O
I want that on my epitaph.
Kurtz pointedly doesn't dispute the charge he has gone insane, only that his 'methods' were 'unsound'. Like he agrees with them.
Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece. This movie haunts me to this day.
Capital Willard was smart to keep his mouth shut unless spoken to.
ironically his honestly to the questions saves his life. he does not deny being an assassin..
I think he identifies with kurtz.
Because Kurtz was a mystery to him. Willard had been reading up on Kurtz in the dossier during the entire trip and gradually became more intrigued to meet him face to face. He wanted to hear what the man had to say, in his own words and from his own mouth rather than transcribed by some military official, before he decided whether or not he should follow orders and complete the mission.
It was outta respect!!!! Willard knew he was a senior officer once and a ‘Legend’ in The MACV SOG community!!!!!
He had little choice he was outranked and what would say in the of master.... Only listen for it is wisdom
Can we please go back to this era of film making?
No. You get more Thanos movies.
Enjoy what we had, the future is bleak
There are plenty of great films, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,
Oppenheimer, Dune, Killers of the flower moon, etc
ONE OF THE TOP 10 GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME
When I first saw this in a theatre in ‘79, I was quietly and reservedly happy that Willard was born in the same city I was-Toledo, Ohio.
Martin Sheen is actually from DAYTON, OHIO!!!! So he’s still an Ohio boy!!
I see how so much of 1982s Blade Runner ,took from,the music,lightning,characters,the trip itself to get there.
The Tension that's flowing in this Scene is just Unmatched by any movie I've ever seen
My favourite scene, Brando looks like a Buddha in a dark cave in a dark place, very dark in many ways!
Well, they needed to conceal him because he was too much overweight during shooting to portray a soldier
@@karlscher5170It works for the film though, he's seen as God by the tribe- he gets all the food.
@@PolishGod1234 good point. And his character is supposed to be existential depressed i think
In my opinion I felt that it still worked out , he’s a lonely man who’s seen and committed horrid acts that will forever torment him . I felt the colonel is naturally attempting to indulge out of grief. I was thinking maybe that’s apart of the reason Willard points out that even his own tribe wanted him gone.
That hidden face and eye ar 2:57…effin creepy and horrifying! brilliant lighting, directing and acting!
The part when Willard tells Kurtz that they said “cause you went totally insane “and when you see him squeeze his fist in anger, he knew they “turned on him” and no matter what, they were not gonna leave him alone, so he knew his time was coming to an end!
I see the fist a different way. If you add the context of the later exchange they have when Kurtz talks about being shot "with a diamond bullet", it seems to me that he feels more enlightened and the fact that the brass just dismisses him as gone "insane" he takes it almost as an insult. He thinks THEY are the insane ones. "You train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't let them write 'fuck' on their aeroplanes, because it's 'obscene'."
He's not squeezing his fist in anger. What hes actually doing is squeezing the water droplets he just wiped off his dome. He is angry tho
I see it different sir, I see the top brass as insane and I still do..He was a highly intelligent man who could see through all the bullshit of war..He could have easily killed Captain Willard but Kurtz had already decided his war was over…
The story abt the gardenia plantation is beautiful
This whole scene was about the two verifying each other. Both walking perspective tightropes.
Have you ever considered any real freedoms?
Freedoms from the opinion of others?
even the opinions of yourself?
I don't know, but Kurtz sounds like a child while remembers the river
'I expected someone like you, what did you expect?
Someone who didn't weigh 400 pounds. Sir.'
😂
Tbf, he lives like a God. Willard probably expected him to be out of shape
I went down that river once when I was a kid- Lol ! The pain in his voice! He wasn’t acting
1:50, I swear Willard has just reconsidered everything he knows about Kurtz in that moment
I doubt that. He never really called Kurtz "insane" during the briefing, he only parroted what the general said. He knows that there's no right or wrong "methods" in war and killing is killing no matter what, which is why he said that he don't see any method when asked by Kurtz.
He already realized that Kurtz and Kilgore are different and similar and that both are not far from each other. And most importantly, War is War no matter what method is used to kill your enemy.
@@migueldelacruz5054 I can't disagree with there, I was thinking more from his various internal monologues throughout the film after the briefing, he was getting an idea of the man in that time and then he arrives and when he is face to face, he is not presented with a raving madman and a killer, just a seemingly calm old man in the shadows
That is my point
Given the hell everyone in the production went through trying to make this movie a reality (which involves everything from a tropical storm destroying the entire set, the entire team getting their passports confiscated by the Filipino police force due to being implicated in grave robbing and... Well... Let’s just say that it gets crazier from there!) it’s amazing that this movie actually turned out as well as it did! :)
The Critical Drinker made a really good video covering the entire hellish production if you wanna know more! :)
This is why Coppola will always be the GOAT for me. He's made some bad films over the years but no other director will ever go through the sheer hell he had to endure to bring this masterpiece to life. The only other director who can even compete with this level of insanity is Werner Herzog.
They plan to make a movie
But it turned into apocalypse now doing
Plus Martin Sheen suffering a heart attack
Sounds like the production of this movie should be a movie in itself
@@varrickace465 they should do a show like The Offer
Acting and script at it's absolute finest.
Brando... The greatest actor ever.
Daniel day Lewis.
@@rigajykra3159nah he’s second or third.
No. Honestly he’s the weakest part of the movie.
Based on a real CIA officer in the jungles of Vietnam that sent human ears to the fat cats in Washington when asked what he was doing out there...
I've been shaving my head for the past 20 years. I think tonight before going to sleep with a towel around my neck and my chronograph watch on I'm going to get a big ass Bowl put it next to my bed with water few drops of face soap and a sponge. it looks really refreshing washing it just like that
Kurtz is the man
Man that’s creepy, he doesn’t even blink once!
"Where ya from, Willard?"
".....I'm from Ohio, sir."
Two titan actors.
thx for the upload, the only proper one I could find out there
When he said it smelled like malaria and nightmares I understood what he meant
What does it mean?
@@ravenwhiteduck6460It means that Kurtz probably suffers from Malaria. You hear him coughing in the beggining of the scene.
my goodness -- i've watched this scene a million times and i only juuust noticed the Martin Sheen is kneeling during the entire convo.
2;58....the glint in Brando's eye is like a sliver thru the heart ...anyone else feel like that ??
Kneel, Kneel.....
"Elaine!!!!"
SEIKO MEETS ROLEX
Elaine and Peterman…
That was just jibberish
I've probably already said but read the book, heart of darkness, set in the Congo, Africa, but great adaptation of a book
How good it is?
Doing assignment on this. Made me feel ill first time round. Its effective film making.
What was the assignment? Just curious
@@andrewrosner9397 it was just a really in depth analysis of any scene from a long list of films for my first year screen course.
Got 95 or 96% if I remember correctly. I really flubbed the paragraph on sound design or something.
@@dyslegeinhie hie i have to work on this film but it's hella confusing! please can you help me a little bit please? it's very urgent !
@@sreezea What is confusing you?
@@sreezea Oh I don't trust telegram at all.
Reference 'Film art: An Introduction' by Brodwell and Thompson (just eat the cost you'll be referring to it all through uni).
Chapter 4 covers Mise-en-scene, page 124 specifically covers lighting which is a big part of this scene.
Chapter 5 cover cinematography. The purpose of this scene is to establish Kurtz as a intimidating and mysterious figure (low angles to make him feel big). In contrast Willard is made to feel small (high angles).
Easy way to get marks quick is to focus on how the setting and cinematography are used to communicate Willards powerlessness. The how is what matters most.
You can also talk for a while on how the editing focuses on Kurtz and the effect that has on the scene.
Marlon Brandos massive hand stroking his bald head is terrifying. Followed by him squeezing his hand into a fist, you can’t tell Brando had broken his hand many times.
From Patton "I always wanted to oiss in the Rhine!"
There are not many films that make you feel just as horrible as the character and still be entertaining. From day one in this journey it's just been insanity and the last days of humanity. It's incredibly enjoyable but you understand that the way down the abyss of Kurtz' rule has to end.
ท่านนายพลท่านต้องเข้าใจทำไมคนพวกนี้ถึงยอมกอดคอกันตายไปด้วยกันไม่ยอมรับความจริงน่าจะมีอยู่ 2 สาเหตุหลัก 1 กลัวโทษที่จะตามมาหากพ่ายแพ้ 2 เรื่องผลประโยชน์ตอบแทน
The first time Willard meets Kurtz reminds me of the first time Clarice meets Hannibal Lecter.
Never thought of this as much of a combat movie because of the Heart of Darkness elements. The ones that were combat were Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. This is still a good movie nonetheless!!!
How far from the river?
The Ohio river, sir?
About 200 miles
He was addressing a supiorr officer
Correct,that's why Willard kept saying "Sir".
This is sped up. ? It's slower in the movie.
0:07... 777 4:36...
Kinda like the assassination of roman emperors
So that's Brando underprepared huh?
Gardenias...mmmm
ของประธานนาธิบดีปูตินไม่มีประโยชน์ต่อสถานการณ์ในทางที่สร้างสรรค์กับคู่ขัดแย้งเลย
You’re methods were unsound…
Are my methods unsound?
ชัดแล้วนะเขาบอกอย่าล้ำเส้น
When I first saw this in a theatre in ‘79, I was quietly and reservedly happy that Willard was born in the same city I was-Toledo, Ohio.
แล้วก็เยอะยาวเป็นหน้ากระดาษกลัวเราจะไปคุยแต่ละหัวข้อเพื่อยุติได้ยากมากนอกจากรัฐประหารถขีดคำสั่งประธานาธิบดีทิ้ง
มันเหลืออยู่ทางเลือกสุดท้ายถ้าเขาไม่หยุดก็คงโจมตีหน่วยส่งกำลังบำรุงกองทัพพม่า
