		Anzio was the name of United States Navy aircraft carrier, the USS Anzio (CVE-57).
		After the last unsuccessful revolt, it was razed and colonized in 338 BC; the beaks of the ships of Antium decorated the tribune in the Roman forum that became known because of their presence as the tribuna rostrata.
		During the Social War, Antium took the side of Lucius Cornelius Sulla, and so was sacked by the troops of Gaius Marius, in 87 BC.

	War Movie Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		This is cinematography at its finest: we see the war not as a part of humanity, but as something foreign, something unknown, like the monster that lurked in your closet when you were a child.
		ANZIO, for me, is a disappointment because the focus of the story plot dabbles with philosophical issues about war and the script is mediocre, not to mention the movie drags.
		The sheer hopelessness of the war is achingly conveyed in almost every scene-- even those such as the spectacular Air Cavalry assault on a Vietnamese village which starts Willard on his journey (look for Coppola in an earlier scene with the Cav as the TV reporter urging Willard to "Just go by like you're fighting!").
