Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how Francis Coppola?s movie, "Apocalypse Now", satirizes war and the military. The author focuses on comparing how the satire in "Apocalypse Now" is serious in nature, and thus more deeply impacting than humorous satires such as "Catch-22" and "Dr. Strangelove" both of which are quoted and compared in the paper.From the Paper:
?Apocalypse Now uses its main plotline to exhibit the hypocrisies present in the United States Military. Willard's mission to kill Colonel Kurtz for murder is a perfect example. Willard comments on the charge against Kurtz by saying that, ?Charging a man for murder in this place is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.? (Copolla) When Willard narrates this line, the audience is forced to open their eyes to the ridiculously immoral reality of his task.?More papers on The Satire of Coppola:
