yeah, that seemed 10 times to real to be fake. They cut through his shoulder so fast you couldn't even see any blood! Poor guy.

Re: Apocalypse Now appreciation thread

damn we see 5 billion people die and go insane guts on the street style, and you worry about a waterbuffalo while eating steak with chickendressing and salmonsauce.

If I remember correctly the villagers were going to kill the water buffalo for food anyways, so Coppola decided to film it, kinda like Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust's animal killing scenes.

Re: Apocalypse Now appreciation thread

Ah, well that's okay then.  I didn't know that about Cannibal Holocaust either

Re: Apocalypse Now appreciation thread

my dad got drafted and did a tour in 68. he doesn't talk much about the war but he said out of all the war movies he's seen, this movie most closely captures the chaos and mood of what it was like to be in the vietnam war.

Even if it is for feeding people, I can't look at those kind images. I hate animal torture (and this also why I won't never watch Cannibal Holocaust too).
