    For any actor to be able to transform a role into one that becomes one of those rare cinematic icons of American culture, is almost always a good indication of the strength of the performance behind it.
    Take Robert Duvall.
    One of my favorite scenes is of Lt. Colonel Kilgore walking blithely around in the middle of blazing warzone as the shells, grenades & bullets exploding around him, while everyone else is shooting or running for cover. You can really tell the sincerty in his comment of liking the morning smell of napalm.
    Which, BTW, is a view that I find myself not sharing.
    And even though I've never actually experienced the smell of napalm in the morning,
    I have been awakened on several occasions by the burning hot & almost equally as dangerous fragrance of my own farts.
    Which, I can imagine, can't be all that much of a difference in experience.
    Especially when the night before, I might've indulged in a midnight snack consisting of a huge steak sandwich with a layer of bacon on it.

    This film is fucking ace. My favourite movie ever, and I'm still ashamed to have not seen 'Redux'. Soon I will have the money...

    Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer; every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter.

    Into the Heart of Darkness indeed.

    A different kind of war movie. A Masterpiece. Horror should be included a genre.
