Apocalypse Now - Do Lung Bridge - HD

[Walnut444ify]

Most frightening and indescribable scene from the whole film. Simply spectacular.

[Transformers2themax]

And why do you people have such awful grammar?

[Yora21]

I've never seen the mpvie, but this is the most insane scene I've ever seen.

If there's a hell, it's like this for all eternity.

[NeverAloneForever]

@Yora21 In this scene there is a reference to Dante's Inferno.

[dabe95]

this is one of the most amazing scenes in movie history for me...

[chaosworshipper]

If there's no CO, who rebuilds the bridge every day? What would motivate these men to stay in the spot, and not just leave?

[Immortal4Aday]

@chaosworshipper leave where the vietcong make the jungle their home and their surrounded by it, there stuck in hell.

[chaosworshipper]

@Immortal4Aday

Ah, so they're all stuck together for protection. Who the hell rebuilds the bridge though? Every day? How the hell would that be enforced?

[Immortal4Aday]

@chaosworshipper i would say it probably another example of the insanity of war.

Albert Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to change engineers have probably got orders to rebuild that bridge every time it is destroyed and they think doing it will get them out. when all they are doing is continuing the cycle been given mad orders to further the mad cycle.

[BlackLedDoor94]

Yep that's definitely Hendrix, no doubt, you can here the use of the wammy bar.

[LiamGreg1]

@BlackLedDoor94 Coppola explains in the commentary that it's not hendrix

[BlackLedDoor94]

@LiamGreg1 Well then, I was wrong, sounds awesome though. I shall watch the commentary and find put who the Phantom artist is.

[turbineitorr]

[ImperialGuard9001]

"Hey soldier you know who is command here?"

"Yeahh..."

[JordoF6]

So are all the soldiers in this camp gone crazy?

[Bronte180300]

purple haze

[maxman1602]

@wooki321

It was in the Redux version I saw

[freddysthedevil]

stay on the boat,stay on the fuckin boat.

[SoF333]

'La la la.... Beverly Hills.... la la la di da' - crazed soldier

'What?!' Captain Willard

'Straight up the road there is a concrete fucking bunker called 'Beverly Hills! Where the fuck else would it be?!' other semi-crazed soldier.

Pure madness.

[wooki321]

I watched the redux version and this part was missing...

[TheCojonesbigballs]

my favorite part from the movie

[oldirrtydoogz]

amazing scene. the cinematography is insane.

[ZigZagRunner]

the two worst and cheapest parts in this film were the use of a puppy (which is just cheap) and the footage of the tribe sacrificing the bull (unnecessary and irrelevant symbolism) also all the shit in redux was absolutely irrelevant to the story and fucked the pacing up the ass. an extra forty or so minutes of nothing except taking away from the journey of the river to the heart of darkness and hell.

[oldirrtydoogz]

@ZigZagRunner why was having the puppy cheap? they discovered it on the boat they shot to pieces, and lance took it with him. it showed how crazy and ridiculous their morals were out in vietnam. they just murdered a bunch of innocent civilians... but they want to take care of a little puppy? thats insane.

[ZigZagRunner]

@oldirrtydoogz it's more the aspect, here is a cute puppy we are going to put it in mortal danger. and bring it to kurtz's compound otherwise known as hell. and the bull was like here is a bull its a live animal we are going to watch it get killed for some stupid symbolism about its horns representing life or death, bullshit.

[oldirrtydoogz]

@ZigZagRunner the puppy never made it to kurtz's compound. lance lost it when they got attacked along the river. i don't know about the bull thing, but to me the puppy thing was basically just showing how fucked up the morals were in vietnam. lance is going all crazy about the puppy being lost... whilst clean is lying there dead.

[roansythen]

@oldirrtydoogz It doesn't show anything about what went on in Vietnam. It shows the ignorant views of the director who had never been there, nor consulted anyone who had. I guess I shouldn't be surprised about kids these days getting their "history" lessons from Hollywood.. We've raised you to be dumb, but when I was a kid, we had a saying.. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

[ufuckfacesonofabitch]

@oldirrtydoogz Sam Bottoms said in an interview that Lance became the dog after he lost it. Also, he doesn't say anything else in the movie afterward so he is very much like a child. As for ZigZagRunner, he is entitled to his opinion but it is the same old whine I've read before, so I will not comment on anything he has written.

[ZigZagRunner]

was that christopher walken 

[MerryGoFuckYourself]

@ZigZagRunner Its his brother.

[Lukh0]

Lance is on ACID... SO CRAZYD

[pfl95]

the vietnam war was a massive fail

[maxman1602]

@pfl95

You clearly know nothing outside of what Hollywood tells you.

[pfl95]

@maxman1602

correct me if i'm wrong... but i do remember some guy named vo nggiape seiged saigon and a lot of other cities and camps on the vietnamese new years day which lead to total disaster for the americans and the vietnamese.

and i know this reading any books cus my dad's close bussiness partner was a viet cong veteran and he tol

[maxman1602]

@pfl95

The war came to a stalemate because of the US, and the Viet Cong was destroyed as a fighting force in the Tet. It was only after Nixon ended the war as a campaign promise that North Vietnam was actually able to invade South Vietnam, from the ARVN's incometence.

It was through bad politics that Vietnam was lost. It was won on the battlefield, plain and simple.

[dohoangquan35]

@pfl95 that's Võ Nguyên Giáp. he's 100 now

[maxman1602]

@pfl95

Do you mean the Tet Offensive? It was a massive and total failure for the NVA, destroyed the VC (Viet Cong) as a fighting force, and accomplished none of the NVA's goals.

It was billed as a US disaster by the extremely biased US media that just wanted to report THEIR story, not the news.

Oh, and are you saying your dad's partner is a Viet Cong, as in North Vietnamese irregular geurilla?

[JustAnotherGuy186]

Aaaaaaah rock music and machine gun fire, is there a cooler combination of sounds? Because I don't think there is.

[donramon5000]

3:19 i shh sh shhit m.. my ff fff... FUCKIN PANTS

[moleman9000]

Can't believe the surfer-dude dropped acid in the middle of that.

[markvallance1]

hey solidoer do you know whos in charge around here ? ` yeaa'

[MarciCow]

Coppola used not only Heart of Darkness, but also Dante's Divina Commedia. The trip up river is the trip down hell. After the Eight Circle, Frauds, (from the Playboy bunnies, the pimp-and-whores of the 1st Bolgia, to the falsifiers of the 10th, with Dillard keeping info to himself after the murder of the sampan family), the Do Lung Bridge is the Nine Circle of hell, Traitors, the deepest, with the soldiers up to their waist in water, lying down & hidden, having their heads hurt, without leader.

[MarciCow]

@MarciCow Willard, not Dillard, sorry about the typo.

[leblanche54]

the horror, and moral terror...

[florthesecond]

roach = cool ass motherfucker

[ScoonyBoy]

Also, the Roach is the MAN.

[ScoonyBoy]

4:53 to 4:58-"Goddamn it! You stepped in my face!"

"Thought you were dead."

"Well, you thought wrong, damn it!" XD.

[jasper17ful]

and how do we know its a jimmy hendrix it could be anyone

[trilord1996]

@jasper17ful i read some research and i noticed the guitar solo was from jimi hendrix.... i think

[Conker53rd]

@trilord1996 It's by Randy Hansen, a Hendrix impersonator.

[jasper17ful]

@Conker53rd ty now all i need to do is find the name of the guitar solo

[JeffersonColtrane]

@trilord1996 If it's not Jimi Hendrix, it was probably an original composition from the composers of the film score meant to sound like a Hendrix solo.

Also, everybody remembers Apocalypse Now for the helicopter village attack, but this is probably my favorite scene of the movie -- VERY psychedelic!

[Clintouminou17]

@trilord1996 It's sounds like Hendrix Univibe effect I can tell I'm a guitarist.. But do you know the song? Thanks!

[Eri13kk]

@trilord1996 its the jimi hendrix's perfomance of the star spangled banner from Woodstock, or that is waht i know

[Nyquistic]

@jasper17ful Trust me, it's Jimi.

I was seven years old, eating my breakfast when my mother told me that the strange one my older brother had records of, had died. I liked the B-side of "Purple Haze" ... the harpsichord I think?

[jesusphillips]

@jasper17ful I always wondered what it was from. I had just about all the Hendrix stuff and I couldn't figure it out. i recently found out this is played by a guy named Randy Hansen who's an insane sounding Hendrix clone player who still performs with his own Hendrix band.

I tried to post a link to his wikipedia page, but it doesn't work. Google him! ; P

[dowhoopido]

@jasper17ful because if you've listened to Jimi Hendrix's music you will know it's him. No one else sounds like Jimi

[beta0blaster]

@jasper17ful you can tell hendrix solos anywhere

[jasper17ful]

can somone pls tell me whats the name of the guitar solo in the trenches tyvm

[trilord1996]

@jasper17ful its from a guitar music from Jimi Hendrix

[jasper17ful]

@trilord1996 but dost anyone know the name of it

[Transformers2themax]

@trilord1996 That's incredibly obvious...Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like anything popular by Jimi. It's not even stated in the soundtrack.

[NeverAloneForever]

@trilord1996 Improv or actual track from an album?

[latinodude85]

By far the most surreal and intense scene of my all-time favorite movie. This dark masterpiece is such a psychedelical and deep exploration into the madness and barbarism of modern civilization during times of war.

[samratyberg]

i kill you g.i!

[youse12132]

"You'll get what you deserve!"

Words that sum up this film really. Great scene.

[carlface4ever]

one of the best soundtracks in the history of everything.. right up there with the warriors ...
