Movie: Apocalypse Now

Interpretation:
Good irony when Chief is killed by the spear. (Since it's a war with guns).

Great cross cutting at the scene when Willard kills Kurtz. It keeps going back to that bull or something. Anyways, it's meant to kinda say that Willard isn't even assassinating Kurtz anymore. When Willard was first given the mission it was an assassination mission, but he hardly assassinates Kurtz. Instead he's sacrificing Kurtz. That's why it keeps cross cutting to the bull, since it's meant to be a sacrifice. Also, what type of a soldier assassinates with a machete. I think it's meant to suggest savage nature in Willard or something.
I believe this was used in the Godfather as well. Only watched The Godfather twice or something, but I believe it was when the protagonist was becoming the godfather and at the same time he was committing a whole bunch of crimes and it kept cross cutting to his crimes.

There was also something significant about the playboy bunnies scene where the guy hangs onto the helicopter. Something about wanting to escape the place or something.

Don't really know what the significance of the tiger. Anyone know?

Anyways, a fantastic movie. Pretty much every scene from the original(not the redux) is full of great film techniques. A must watch if you can appreciate the true art of films, otherwise it's a real bore. Don't know much about the added in scenes from the redux.
