At the very hour I was considering posting the scene to follow, my nephew - 400 miles away - posted a brief comment on Facebook about its compelling significance in the film. I'll be thinking about this one a long time.
Apocalypse Now (1979) is both a landmark cinematic study of human behavior and an essential film for a very wide audience. If you want to explore the theme without the potential conflicts arising from the Vietnam War controversy, read the source for the screenplay, Joseph Conrad's novella, Heart of Darkness.
