    It's set in the Vietnam War. It is a rendition of a famous anti-colonialist book, and since America (huge imperialist nation) was in a war in Vietnam some bright spark went and made a film based on the book but set in the Vietnam War

    Apocalypse now is more about what war does to the human psyche then about Vietnam in particular.

    The first part of fmj was awesome, but the actual was part was kind of lame.

    So was Full Metal Jacket. It's about the dehumanization of war, transforming Men into killing machines.
