  • Jesus, what a scene... You know that part on the beginning, Willard lands with the helicopter and he said "I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet." That really was some fucked up place he went...

  • Comment removed

  • christ that woman was stupid

  • I love this scene.

  • Did you guys ever have the Idea that the US just gives a F.... about your 'getting the message' ?

    There is no reason not to do war for them. It brings billions of dollars and strategic values and all that it costs are young men lives. Guess what. There are more than enough young men without any other chance. See what happens in Iraq. The same story. Lies, Agony, Death and Greed thats it and thats how its gonna be till the end.

  • this is "win hearts and minds" vietnam style

  • Stupid LAurence Fishburn killing civilians

  • At least puppy survive...

  • The 60 did work

  • Everybody knows the kid shooting the machine gun is Lawrence Fishburn right?

  • i love this scene hahahah. roflmfao

  • @76BLADERUNNER you're a jackass, seriously  : /

  • @MaynkorX14 the guy who is responding to me in a negative way IS ONE. and that includes you man.

  • @76BLADERUNNER I just don't understand how this scene could make anyone "roflmfao". I don't see the humor, and I don't know how you're finding it, maybe I'm not looking hard enough

  • @MaynkorX14 the puppy part. i forgot to put it on there. since i was in a rush

  • @MaynkorX14 yeah i totally agree man, although in my opinion this film is the best war film ever made and one of the top twenty best films ever made, this scene is anything but funny. i mea apart from anything else, why the fuck did he kill the vietnamese woman?! because that's how shit american soldiers were. no fucking wonder you all had to get pulled out of vietnam you useless cunts. i think war is tragic but british soldiers would make american ones look like kids playin cops and robbers

  • Because the British Army has never and never will be responsible for killing innocent women and children. Praise be unto you, oh great merciful, noble, and perfect United Kingdom.

    Honestly, get a life and stop thinking that your country is so god-like and that America is useless.

  • @YoungTeufelhunden hey i'm not disputing that just pointing out that american soldiers in nam WERE shit and the british army WOULD kick the shit out of them

  • Pffff, what do you know? Were you there alongside them? If you're talking about the quality of soldiers, the reason is because a good deal of them were draftees, most of whom wanted nothing to do with the war. But the character of Jack Willard was a Green Beret; they're Special Forces and they are anything but shit. The reason he killed that woman is because his mission took priority, but if they hadn't stopped in the first place like he ordered, it wouldn't have happened at all.

  • @YoungTeufelhunden wtf i wasn't even talking to you anyway so there was no reason for you to start this in the first place so just stop messaging me

  • @Battywasinnocent

    Just remember the concentration camps in South Africa, the colonization of India, and the great horror that was AFRICA.

    Yes, the British Empire is responsible two fold for much of the world's despair. Don't forget Ireland as well.

    However, I can see where you're coming from, as British troops were world renowned for their war time behavioral decency. They had a.... code, a sense of honour.

  • @Battywasinnocent Why did he shoot the woman? If you hear his monologue, after this scene I believe, he talks about the absurdity of cutting someone in half with a machine gun and then handing them a band aid. Something like that.

    The woman was seriously injured and just watched her family get machine-gunned for nothing. Her life was ruined. What are they going to do? Turn around and take her back to a hospital? She'd probably bleed to death before they got there. Just shoot her and move on.

  • damn woman caused the death of everyone on the boat

  • "Take a mango too..."

  • Poor, poor woman and people.

  • "I told you not to stop, now lets go.." That is what he says.. not "I told you dont stop!"

  • This video is about 20 sec shorter then it shud be..i think right after this scene, martin sheen goes on to say "They cut em in half with a machine gun, and then give em a band aid"..that was the most important line of all..and to this date..it rings soo true..a mean with all these drone attacks in afganistan every single week..now a days its worse..thers no human contact so as to let u c what u have done..they just drive thr droves up in the air, drop bombs and forget about it..

  • Morpheus fucked up big time

  • it's no wonder everyone thinks us vietnam vets are crazy after watching this.

    It's a pretty intense movie.

    terrible things happen in war.

  • I'm just disappointed that we didn't protect South Vietnam. We won every battle of the war, lost a relatively small number of men, and then abandoned our allies, pulled funding, and ran away. I'll never understand the failure of that generation...not the vets...but the Americans who lost faith in their own country and government.

  • @DeadlyMACD You don't know much about the vietnam war do you?

  • Do you disagree with what I wrote?

  • @DeadlyMACD I'm not going to have lame youtube arguement but seriously if you've watched apocolypse now, or at least thought about the war logicaly or understood history or politics, you should know that your comment was just silly.

  • Ugh, whatever LT. I stand by what I wrote. You cannot even explain what you disagree with.

    It's nice to know you're the type of person who would abandon your allies to their deaths after a peace treaty was achieved.

  • @DeadlyMACD Again you need to read up on your vietnam war, if your an american then it's of importance... in fact its proberbly important for other nationalities but especially for americans and maybe the french and russians (and obviously the vietnamese).

  • LT, I know a fair amount about the war. Probably more than average so I'm fully prepared to discuss it's legacy with people on YouTube.

  • @DeadlyMACD And I can't be asked to have an arguement with some guy from youtube.

  • Goodbye then. I'm here for entertainment and casual debate. It doesn't take much effort but it's up to you.

  • We should tie down Obama, prop his eyelids open and force him to watch this movie over and over until he gets the message. And Bush should have this running 24/7 in his prison cell. He could be bunk mates with Henry Kissinger.

  • @calamagrostis88

    Bush had nothing to do with Vietnam. You are reaching with this one.

  • @beyondonethousand I can't stand the depth of stupidity dumb twits like you have reached. What do you think HW and W Bush's father was doing while this war went on? HUH? HUH? You stupid twiffs! PRESCOTT BUSH helped perpetrate this war, WW2, Korea, Iraq etc..while his antichrist sons were being groomed by nwo wannabes to become worthless warmongering profiteers as presidents! Get your eyes off the movies and start looking at reality you bunch of psychologically illiterate dunces!!

  • @tyme4mike

    Don't need your stupid reply. If you disagree then do so but if you want to call people names then look in the mirror. You are reaching with Bush and all. Bushes had definitely been involved in wars but so were the other presidents of the U.S. The antichrists are much more than the Bush family. The U.S. were involved in wars from the Battle of Gettysburg through to the Civil War, to the present and to the Global Gov't future. They are not yet done with wars.

  • @beyondonethousand Don't need your stupid reply, add into that your obvious arrogance AND ignorance. Wanna run your mouth about something you know nothing about? Then have the brains to talk to someone who has been on the other end of the rifle and missile launchers rather than get all their 'knowledge' from movies and the t.v. news like an armchair slob like you.

  • @tyme4mike

    I'm in great shape not an armchair slob like you. I guess a reply to you just pisses you off since I disagree. What an immature little boy. You just need to have somebody agree with you. If I disagree you go for the insult. Maybe you need to be on the pointed end of a missle. LITTLE BOY!

  • @calamagrostis88

    The United States will never get the message no matter who is in. They will eventually and systematically give autonomy to a global gov't system. That is coming for sure. The U.S. best days are done. All of these clowns from the Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, are undermining the U.S. Declaration. The world power will eventually shift to what is now a very weak and fragmented Europe.

  • yep

  • 00:56

    Laurence Fishburne

  • @BeyondLame That gun was bigger than he was.

  • my Boatswain Chief ran river boats during Viet Nam and he was one bad ass mother! He wouldn't write you up if you messed up but he would take you to the rope locker and kick your sorry ass

  • ...the best.

  • I think this scene was supposed to be an allusion to the Mai Lai Massacre (just a very miniaturized version of it) and the poem "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" (where the sailors kill a white albatross and then slowly die off one by one)

  • I'd like to see someone do what I failed to express in a lit paper-what is the parallel in Heart of Darkness? I know in HOD, the Chief gets killed by a spear-any similarities in HOD to this scene??

  • I love that PBR boat.

  • I hate that scene

  • Martin Sheen is great. What a range-- from this to West Wing.

    I always think of this scene when the U.S. starts another foreign policy misadventure in the name of spreading democracy or allegedly helping another country. The line "I told you not to stop the boat" just runs through my head when I hear tak about helping Afghanistan.

  • Indeed

  • ditto.

  • classic scene...tough too watch, but a classic for sure...
