Was I the only person Legit scares seeing this the first time? it's this song and the Hallelujah Chorus (Evangelion) that I can't listen to without cringing a little.

@FullAhBeans fascinating thank you. your correct about the original being silent with live music. Most of the old great movie houses were built just to show that movie.
Apocalypse Now is my all time favorite movie. I saw it as a young G.I. in NYC when it 1st came out. 36 years later I understand it better every day. Especially in light of the recent Officers report critical about the afghan war so similar to Col Kurtz report the Pentagon brass that didnt like. Deja vu Monsieur?

@stevenstreets3 it might interest you to know the flight of the valkyries song wasn't actually used in the score for birth of a nation, it was only added when the film was sold with a soundtrack on vhs or disk, traditionally there would be a little guy sat at a piano playing a completely different score for 3 hours... i dont think its necessarily a comment on racism though, more like your witnessing the bad guys as heroes retrospectively, as you would in birth of a nation.

I love Ron Paul but a 16 minute ad for a 5 minute video is ridiculous bad taste...
that said ..check out the scene in "Birth of a Nation" when the KKK rides to the rescue and you will see where this scene was "borrowed". Same music. Same action. It's obvious the director was making a point about (1960s)racism and war once you see the two together.
This is my all time favorite scene in film..but I'm a war child.
I would have used Verdi Requims Dies Irae and tuba mirum if I was Col. Killgore
