	Apocalypse's Horsemen
		Apocalypse first recruit was Morlock known as Plague, whom he rescued from being killed by the Marauder Harpoon during the notorious "mutant massacre" of the Morlocks.
		Apocalypse had Death and the other three Horsemen in an attack on New York City that was intended to provoke a war between normal human beings and superhuman mutants.
		Not having abandoned the concept of a team based on the Biblical Horsemen, Apocalypse recently revived the team with four new members: the X-Man Wolverine being Death, the Shi'ar warlord Deathbird being War, Caliban being the second Pestilence, and (presumably) the time-traveling mutant-hunter called Ahab being the latest Famine.

		War then becomes heroic, even mythic, a task that must be carried out for the defense of one's nation, to sustain its special historical destiny and the immortality of its people.
		War fever tends always to be sporadic and subject to disillusionment.
		In this context, the word "war" came to combine metaphor (as in the "war on poverty" or "war on drugs"), conventional military combat, justification for "pre-emptive" attack and assertion of superpower domination.

	Rambles: Judge Dredd: The Apocalypse War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Collecting the 25-part storyline from UK's popular sci-fi comic 2000 A.D. Judge Dredd: The Apocalypse War follows the title character -- a one-stop judge, jury and executioner for Mega-City One, a futuristic sprawling metropolis -- as a regional turf war escalates into a global war.
		This reinforces the original serialized and separate format in which The Apocalypse War was told, preventing cohesion of the 25 parts into an overall story.
		But I'd argue that the after-effects/influence of Judge Dredd: The Apocalypse War is more interesting than the actual story.

		During the Cold War, this understanding became known as mutally assured destruction and was largely the reason war never broke out between the WMD-armed United States and Soviet Union.
		The primary application of this doctrine occurred during the Cold War (1950s to 1990s) in which MAD was seen as helping to prevent any direct full-scale conflicts between the two power blocks while they engaged in smaller proxy wars around the world.
		The doctrine of preventing nuclear war by creating a situation in which any use of nuclear weapons would result in the certain destruction of both the attacker and the defender.

	DVDFILE.COM: Apocalypse Now review
		War is a subject that has been well-explored in the cinema long before Apocalypse Now, and certainly will be long after.
		But, even in comparison to the numerous other cinematic examinations of war's inhumanity and seeming incoherence, Francis Ford Coppola's surreal masterpiece is widely regarded as a cinema classic and one of the defining moments of 70's filmmaking.
		As you'd expect from a surreal war film, there is a pretty exciting mix of slam-bang pyrotechnics mixed in with quieter ambient passages and the odd intermingling of sounds.

	War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Among the many apocalyptic scenarios that we face, war is still the most probable cause for the destruction of our planet.
		Among chief concerns about the security of nuclear weapons materials worldwide are the crisis between India and Pakistan; terrorist efforts to acquire and use nuclear and biological weapons; and the growing inequality between rich and poor around the world that increases the potential for violence and war.
		Humans are very similar to other primates in their genetic propensity towards intra-species violence; Jared Diamond's The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee estimates that 64% of hunter-gather societies engage in warfare every two years.

		Apocalypse Now Redux is a brilliant, chaotic masterpiece from Francis Ford Coppola who goes into the underbelly and madness of the Vietnam War.
		For those who have not seen the original Apocalypse Now (you should be hanging your head in shame for that), the film is about a war captain and his crew riding through the heart of the Cambodian rivers as the captain is trying to stop a renegade colonel on the verge of madness.
		Upon their journey, the darkness of war is in the way as they stop for more fuel where there's a battle going on as Willard leaves plus helicopters engulfed in flames.

	Three Kings: The Apocalypse Now of the Gulf War
		This is a feeble attempt to cast the media in a heroic role during the Gulf War.
		Ever since the Gulf War the media have been embarrassed at how easily they were managed by the military during the Gulf War, and this subplot is simply a device to pretend it wasn't so.
		Of course, there are wars in Africa where larger countries take their neighbors unprovoked, we don't seem to be losing much sleep over that.

	!! War on the Saints, Free to copy, learn all about Deception
		The world is now drawing nearer to the "time of the end," characterized by the deception depicted in the Apocalypse as being world-wide; when there will be deception of nations, and individuals, on such a vast scale that the deceiver will practically have the whole earth under his control.
		Ere this climax is reached there will be preliminary stages of the deceiver's working, marked by the widespread deception of individuals, both within and without the Church, beyond the ordinary condition of deception in which the unregenerate world is lying.
		If Satan is described in the Apocalypse as the deceiver of the whole earth, he has been so from the beginning.

	Apocalypse Now (1979)
		Apocalypse Now (1979) is producer/director Francis Ford Coppola's visually beautiful, ground-breaking masterpiece with surrealistic and symbolic sequences detailing the confusion, violence, fear, and nightmarish madness of the Vietnam War.
		This war story's screenplay, written by John Milius and Coppola himself (with a separate credit for Michael Herr for Sheen's narration), became a metaphorical backdrop for the corruptive madness and folly of war itself for a generation of Americans.
		The new Apocalypse Now edit added 49 minutes to the original, which, depending on whether it was shown in 35mm or 70mm, with or without credits, has been clocked as running from 139 to 153 minutes.

		Apocalypse Now is an elaborate but often haphazard construction that starts to run out of gas at the three-quarter point without delivering a satisfying ending, and Marlon Brando's often lackadaisical performance as Col. Kurtz never lives up to the massive buildup the story gives it.
		There is war going on right now as I am writing this and people loose their life and their happiness as close ones go to the other side.
		War movies are chararcterized by long battle scenes, the terror of bloody battlefields and the camaraderie among soldiers, but what stands out here is the journey and the mystery.

		Most importantly, millions of people around the world came to oppose the U.S. war effort not because they opposed all violence--but because they concluded that the Vietnamese were fighting a just war for liberation against U.S. imperialism.

		The first war pictures arrived in the silent-film era of the 1910s and '20s, when the technologies of cinema and modern warfare were both newly born.
		Major productions of that period tended to see war in terms of big-screen spectacle and romantic sentiment, but the best of them respected the dignity and humanity of their characters even as they cooked up life-threatening perils to put them through.
		Be this as it may, war movies continue to attract studio money and public attention in the wake of "Saving Private Ryan" and the World War II nostalgia it tapped into.

	Apocalypse Now: An Avant-Garde American War Film - Associated Content
		Francis Ford Coppola wanted to capture the horror and madness of the Vietnam War rather than focus on traditional war subjects, such as war strategy, combat and gore.
		War strategies and tactics are often discussed between generals, adding to the audience’s comprehension of the plot.
		However, the Vietnam War differs greatly from earlier American wars because much of the circumstances surrounding the war—guerrilla warfare, the jungle, the Vietcong, the infamous threat of Communism, and the purpose for fighting the war—were unclear to American citizens and soldiers.

		The strange thing about Apocalypse Now, set in the tinderbox of Vietnam, is that it isn't focused upon the sole event of the man forging through the jungle to go and capture the renegade named Kurtz.
		APOCALYPSE NOW also features what may be the greatest lighting in film history, particularly toward the end of the film.
		And then there is the ordinary madness of the war lover personified in Robert Duvall's swashbuckling army colonel who likes to take off his shirt and watch his men surf the waves as all about him bombs are bursting and bullets flying.

	Apocalypse Now Redux Movie Review - Apocalypse Now Redux Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		It's Francis Ford Coppola's ''Apocalypse Now.'' A new version, reedited to include 49 minutes of footage that never made it into the initial release, arrives at the new Boston Common big screen today as ''Apocalypse Now Redux.'' To understate the case, it stands the test of time.
		He was shooting an expressionistic evocation of war as a fl hole, devouring everything it touches, right to the end, where Martin Sheen's military assassin journeys upriver to find his quarry, Marlon Brando's rogue offficer, dead inside, hollowed out by the horrors he has perpetrated.
		Peter Cowie's excellent ''The Apocalypse Now Book'' usefully details the arduous shoot in the Philippines, which was interrupted by storms and hurricanes, almost as if Coppola were expiating America's Vietnam folly by undergoing a cleansing purge in making this film.

	Apocalypse Now and then (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Based on a ludicrously inaccurate script and shot in the Philippines by filmmakers who never saw the real war, it still manages to be the ultimate expression of the Vietnam experience -- the movie that's amazingly come to "define" the war, both for those who fought it and those who protested it, and for posterity.
		While America mostly experienced the war in tight, anguished TV close-ups, Coppola's genius was to go the other way and create Vietnam as epic.
		On the other hand, as powerful as the movie remains and as much as I enjoyed this new cut, I have to say that the additional footage -- material that Coppola felt he had to excise 20 years ago to reach a commercial length -- has turned out to be something of a mixed blessing.

	"Apocalypse Now" by B. Ruby Rich
		Sure, those wars had their share of moral dilemmas, but film treatments on the conflicts could always rest on a basic history of soldiers fighting the good fight — against fascism, against slavery.
		War is beautiful because it combines the gunfire, the cannonades, the ceasefire, the scents, and the stench of putrefaction into a symphony.
		Making this film, Coppola is playing at war with all the passion of a schoolboy, relishing its spectacle, aiming a technology as powerful as a war machine at his vision, creating a rainbow of fatal gasses, a crescendo of deadly weaponry, a Coney Island in place of a morgue.

		We've heard that Marlon Brando was paid $1 million for his closing scenes, and that Coppola gambled his personal fortune to finish the film, and, heaven help us, we've even read a journal by the director's wife in which she discloses her husband's ravings and infidelities.
		Critics of "Apocalypse" have said that Coppola was foolish to translate Heart of Darkness, that Conrad's vision had nothing to do with Vietnam, and that Coppola was simply borrowing Conrad's cultural respectability to give a gloss to his own disorganized ideas.
		Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" is filled with moments like that, and the narrative device of the journey upriver is as convenient for him as it was for Conrad.

		The plot of "Apocalypse Now," loosely based on Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness," concerns a Special Forces officer named Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen), who must journey upriver in a Navy PBR boat, hoping to eventually find and kill the elusive Col. Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando).
		Some of the new footage expands on Robert Duvall's surfing-obsessed airborne commander, Col. Kilgore, as well as the bizarre after-performance lives of a group of Playboy Playmates who are entertaining the troops on a USO tour.
		Apparently, we'll have to be forever content with an "Apocalypse Now" that isn't even close to perfect.

		The Pentagon has developed plans, not only for resource wars, but for dealing with a global and vastly accelerating refugee crisis – their aim is to keep the refugees out of the First World entirely.

		Nor have they been the first to selectively emphasize biblical passages to fulfill their own cultural purposes – and the cultural purposes and functions of this myth are altogether different in the Euro-American cultural matrix.
