Milius says the classic line "Charlie don't surf" was inspired by a comment Ariel Sharon made during the Six-Day War, when he went skin diving after capturing enemy territory and announced, "We're eating their fish". He says the line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" just came to him. [47] Lewis, Gordon (March 14, 2019). "Tribeca: Danny Boyle's Beatles Movie 'Yesterday' Set as Closing Night Film".

[87] That year, he was invited to screen Apocalypse Now at the Cannes Film Festival. [93] United Artists was not keen on showing an unfinished version to so many members of the press. However, since his 1974 film The Conversation had won the Palme d'Or, Coppola agreed to screen Apocalypse Now with the festival only a month away.

Retrieved 26 February 2023.Ultimately Mr Žižek’s book must be read in the spirit in which it was written. Too Late to Awaken is a wide-ranging, if mischievous, work of philosophy that brings urgency and insight to debates about the future. But perhaps the philosopher, a self-described Communist, should aim higher: after Marx, “philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.” Josef (1984). "Why the Harlequin? On Conrad's Heart of Darkness." Cross Currents: A Yearbook of Central European Culture, vol. 3, pp. 259-264.

As Mr Žižek told the audience, it is possible to find “hope” in the “apocalypse” through which we are currently living. For the philosopher, only one thing is certain: “The greatest risk today is doing nothing and allowing history to follow its course.” Apocalypse Now – The Complete Dossier DVD ( Paramount Home Entertainment) (2006). Disc 2 extras include: In the film, shortly before Colonel Kurtz dies, he recites part of T. S. Eliot's poem " The Hollow Men." The poem is preceded in printed editions by the epigraph "Mistah Kurtz – he dead," a quotation from Conrad's Heart of Darkness. [30]

His status as a double agent was reportedly confirmed by the Central Intelligence Agency, which, according to the sources, suggested that he either be isolated or 'terminated with extreme prejudice.' This term is said to be an intelligence euphemism for execution. The LA Times reports in a fascinating obituary for Robert Rheault, a Green Beret charged with murder, that his story was also an inspiration for screenwriter John Milius. Mr Žižek noted we live in “cynical times” in which “the way we criticise the system is part of the system.” He said: “Today’s formula is, ‘we know what we are doing, but nonetheless we are doing it’.”

[48] Ambivalent, Willard joins a U.S. Navy river patrol boat (PBR) commanded by Chief Petty Officer Phillips, with crewmen Lance, "Chef" and "Mr. Clean" to quietly navigate up the Nùng River to Kurtz's outpost. Before reaching the coastal mouth of the Nùng, they rendezvous with the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment—a helicopter-borne air assault unit of the elite 1st Cavalry Division, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore—to discuss safe passage. Kilgore is initially uncooperative, as he has not received word about their mission through normal channels, but he becomes more engaged after discovering that Lance is a well-known surfer. The commander is an avid surfer himself and agrees to escort them through the Nùng's Viet Cong-held coastal mouth. The helicopter squadron, playing " Ride of the Valkyries" on loudspeakers, raids at dawn with a napalm strike. Before Kilgore can lure Lance out to surf on the newly conquered beach, Willard gathers the sailors to the PBR to continue their mission. Isao Tomita (2014 RBMA Tokyo Lecture)". YouTube.
