| Apocalypse Now
Im a war movie buff and I was watching Apocalypse Now and I have a question for Veitnam vets. Is there anything accurate about this movie? Looks like to me most of it is Hollywood BS.
I'll hang up and listen. |

| One of my dad's good friends was in Nam and said what it depicts is a lot of Hollywood BS, but somehow it's the most accurate portrayal to how the war felt.
Famous quote from Coppola after the initial screening at Cannes, he said "My film is not about Vietname, it is Vietnam." | |

| I wonder if they really flew in Playboy's Playmates of the Year onto the bank of the Cambodian River to do dances for the soldiers.
