Best morally ambiguous film. Apocalypse Now.

[Taboo]

^ Yes.

Would Miranda agree with Colonel Kurtz or with Captain Willard

[katcrave]

I was just about to say that (Edit. About Apocolypse Now)

My preference is to read my war stories. But every once in awhile, a film will nail it.

Well, Miri see herself as perfect. And Kurtz considers himself a god in his own manmade (hell)paradise.

Yeah, I go with Kurtz...

And Garrus is Williad.

I really wish TIM had said 'The horror, the horror.' at some point in me3.

 In regards to the ending of ME3, how many of you actually liked what we got?
I thought being forced to obey casper the genocidal ghost and choose 1 of three options that were completely irrelevent to the rest of the game was completely wrong. Not mass effect at all. 

Why do I have to destroy the geth in order to destroy the reapers?
Why do I have to sacrifice myself to control the reapers? 
Why do I have to force all synthetic and organic life together so we can live in a happy go lucky paradise that has us walking hand in hand with the reapers?

And the whole mission to earth was just depressing and boring. 
It wasn't dark. If it was, it wasn't done well. You can make a game dark and have it be amazing. Example, mass effect 2's suicide mission. But by the end of mass effect 3, I knew it was not what I wanted the game to be.

Ugh, just thinking about it frustrates me!

Soooo... Is Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness the same thing? Kurtz... Dr. Doctor mentioning "The horror, the horror"... And beautiful pic BTW Kratos.

The film is an adaptation of the Joseph Conrad short novel you mention, yeah, but with the setting transposed from colonial Africa to Vietnam. There are plenty of differences, some arguably pretty important. But anyway, yeah.

Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now
is based off of Kurtz in HoD, yes, but not the entire book itself. Spec
Ops: The Line is also considering to be somewhat based off of HoD.

Well, there are plenty of changes, but most of the plot points, characters and themes have an equivalent in the novel.

Yes. It’s overrated, but still a significant part of film history.

I always felt full metal jacket was overrated.

OMG THE SNIPER IS A WOMAN!! FEEL REPULSED BY THE HORRORS OF WAR!!

...talk about forced emotion.

Though Jayne Cobb is in it. Hmmmmm...

[dtrain24]

Anyone up for some MP on Xbox?

[Taboo]

Kubrick inspired parts of Apocalypse Now with Paths of Glory. A perfect example of an early Anti-War film. Incredibly blunt. Although Kubrick was a terrible cynic. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect example of that.

"We were afraid of a Doomsday Gap."

ROFL.

What made Full Metal Jacket was the beginning of the movie in boot camp with Gunny Hartman. Almost everyone recognizes those quotes but anything after that isn't as well-known.

[Td1984]

I saw Full Metal Jacket last summer. I didn't think it was too bad.

[Lawrence0294]

Damn.........MY FEELS

 

[Taboo]

I wish he'd have told her that more often in ME3.

Everyone needed that during this time.

I suppose they'll be plenty of time for that after the war.

DRAMA. ART. PASSION.

[flemm]

It's a nice scene
