I watched Apocalypse Now the other night.....but I came into the film in the last hour, so while everybody else's eyes were glued to the screen and talking about what a masterpiece it was....I was completely clueless.

So, if I don't get the chance to watch the entire film *L* could somebody please tell me what the first 1-2 hours are about so I kinda get it? I know one of you people out there has to know all about it....

because it's been kinda bugging me the past few days. *L*

okay, now I feel semi-stupid but that's alright because
I know I'm not.

okay, that it all...off to lunch.

argghh! i hate it when that happens.

basically, what happens in the beginning part of the movie is that martin sheen's character is sent to vietnam to hunt down a character named Colonel Kurtz who's hidden up off in Cambodia with his own little private army basically. The first 1-2 hours are all about him getting there.

if you don't understand it, you should try and see it again -- it's just basically about what war does to the human psyche.
