someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
pretty famous anti-war movie. it plays in vietnam. at the beginning you see some vietanamese forrest been blown up with napalm and they play 'The end' by 'The Doors'.
Later in the movie there are some helicopter pilots who play Wagner while blowing up some village. In the end it all gets pretty sick.
Everyone knows that movie, but for some strange reason i can't remember the title. someone help me.

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
It depends what you like I suppose.
The end goes just plain weird, like the directors had a bit too much crack, but I wouldn't call it boring. Btw, I hope you're seeing the original, not the recent edit which "sucked the big one".

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
i realized i don't even have it on DVD yet , so i watched full metal jacket.
i have to agree with megla, 'weird' is a far better word to decripe the end than 'boring' (i don't even think i ever watched through the end without fast forwarding).

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)

Agreed.
The Redux is even worse, they just stretch it out painfully.

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
"You smell that?
Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son.
Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill.
Smelled like....... victory.

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
redux isnt better, just more lenghty.
The scene where they attack the villiage is the best part of the movie.

The second half of Apocalypse Now is indeed shit. The Redux version is sooooooo boring.

Re: someone help me with a movie title (very easy)
The Redux version is excellent, but it helps to have seen the normal version first. The entire scene in the French Plantation is a wonderful abstraction for the events of the film and gives greater clarity to the the problems of the crew in a wider context.
It's pretty directly lifted from Heart of Darkness, so if you don't like the Conrad, you're less likely to like the Coppola.
