    Apocalypse Now

    ★★★★★

    Juxtaposing Kurtz’s assassination with the sacrifice of a Carabao ritualizes Kurtz’s death and implies that Willard is not interrupting anything; he’s performing a role. Importantly, we don’t see where Willard ends up after he completes his mission. Does he return home, or does he go further up the river?

    The Wages of Fear

    You don’t need minefields, snipers, bandits, car chases, or double-crosses when you’ve got one of the most thrilling premises ever devised— the TRUCK is a BOMB that will EXPLODE if it hits a speed bump. 

    But here, the trucks might as well not be carrying nitroglycerin. So many bullets pass politely through the trucks’ beds, touching nothing. The roads are paved or at least level for most of the trip. And when they’re not, it’s no problem! Just ford the river, no sweat. Falling rocks? Please—there’s a canvas covering. 

    What a waste.
