I intentionally chose a quote that doesn't stick to your memory so easily. Or at least I think it won't. The next ones will be easier. If they're needed.

An oh yeah, I edited the quote just a bit.

[Aristharus]

It isn't THAT hard! :blink: Or maybe it is, then.

Can't think of hints that wouldn't be too easy.

That line in the film is on a recording that is played pretty early in the movie. It's followed with another recording with this line on it (said by the very same voice as the last one):

"We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow. Village after village. Army after army. And they call me an assassin. What do you call assassins that accuse assassins?" and so on..

This will probably be an easier one. The same man dies in the end of the movie, his last words being: "The horror... The horror."

Apocalypse Now! A great movie! k:

[Aristharus]

Damn, it was too easy then. Was it the "The horror" or did you remember the recording of Kurtz in the beginning?

But yes, it's Apocalypse Now! And a great movie too. So it's your turn.

[allyfaucet]

Well, I read Heart of Darkness which is what the movie is based on. My class focused a lot on "the horror...the horror" because it's so famous and what it means and all that. There's actually a really REALLY long version of Apocalypse now, and I've seen the shorter one, that cuts out a lot of the "unnecessary" stuff, so maybe I missed your other quote.

Anyway...

If his premature demise has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish below the glossy veneer of criminal life, and inspired you to change your ways, then his death carries with it an inherent nobility. And a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You can say "Poor Toby." I say: "Poor us."

[Aristharus]

I know it's based on Heart of Darkness, I haven't read it yet, but I have planned to read it for a long time. The other quote is in the original Apocalypse Now, too. Not only in the Redux, if you meant that with the long one. It's in the beginning, when Willard is given the assignment.

I knew I shouldn't have posted the "The horror" yet. I had readied a couple of harder quotes to post first, I don't know why I put that one there already.

Damn! Your quote is too familiar! I just can't recall where it's from...

Btw, the Redux sucks compared to the original Apocalypse Now. Everything cut out from the original is cut out for a good reason.

[allyfaucet]

Yeah, I tried watching it. Not only is it 3.5 hours long (or around there) it's totally boring with sprinkles of good parts (that are all in the original :bleh: )

[Aristharus]

Sorry about going , but I just have to say this. Just this one.

Not only is it boring, the cut parts make the good parts worse. Most don't fit in the characters at all. Willard isn't very playful or anything in the movie. He just wants to get the job done and so on. Yet still in the Redux he decides to play a practical joke on Kilgore and steal his surfboard after the famous "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" scene. Now why in the hell would he do that? Almost every one of the cut scenes just don't fit in. Just like that one.

[The Fifth Horseman]

OK, 24 hours time-out.

This quote is simple. It's in many, many movies, but in the one I have in mind it's a particular scene on the beginning. One that gives an evil grin :evil: to anyone who recalls it, in fact.

"Who are you?"

[Aristharus]

It gave me something more like this :blink: so I probably don't know.
