Apocalypse now sent on January 10, 2023 (12:11) by Fabio F77. 41 comments, 1107 views.

ripescando questo vecchio scatto (di bassa qualità) su tmax mi sono ricordato di una famosa scena del film..."Mi piace l'odore del napalm di mattina. Una volta, una collina, la bombardammo, per dodici ore, e finita l'azione andai lì sopra. Non ci trovammo più nessuno, neanche un lurido cadavere di Viet. Ma quell'odore... si sentiva quell'odore di benzina. Tutta la collina... odorava di... di vittoria"

you touched a nerve, instead of arming Ukraine Italy should work for dialogue :-( you mentioned the most beautiful film about and against the war that I saw at least three times, congratulations :-)

your title is there, as is your quote: glimpses of hell here, after we took a look at hell there, in the photo of the lunette of the Cathedral of Ferrara: "The horror, the horror!" [quoted by Colonel Kurtz]

Thanks for passing, shot fished out of my archive of twenty years ago, a parade in style, showing off all the paraphernalia available. Not being a fan of these events I have no significant shots, just a few snapshots.

…argomento complicato Fabio… ma intimamente legato a una discussione già intrattenuta sulla tua foto “In the mouth of madness”.
La guerra, come la vedo io, non è altro che l'espressione della comune violenza che prende non il mafioso (in senso lato) che vuole il potere, non l'ex marito violento che vuole possedere ancora l'ex moglie, non il delinquente che vuole mezzi economici strabordanti senza lavorare… no… quando invece di prendere il mafioso, l'ex marito violento, il delinquente, la violenza prende chi governa uno Stato, quando costui vuole una cosa credendo sia giusta o conveniente e non riesce a ottenerla… è la guerra. Potremmo intavolare una discussione senza soluzione su come fa ad avere e mantenere il potere questo governante di turno, quali solidi interessi collettivi lo sostengono, ma il ragionamento, a mio avviso non cambia. La ferocia umana è il motore della supremazia del primate Uomo nell'evoluzione Darwiniana. E la guerra è la sua espressione più folle, più violenta, più demoniaca che però più compiutamente lo rappresenta e sempre lo rappresenterà “degnamente” (a proposito, ricordi la scena dell'evoluzione scimmia/uomo in 2001: Odissea nello spazio?....)
D'altronde diceva Eraclito già nel VI secolo ac la guerra è il padre di tutte le cose, da essa scaturisce il progresso dell'uomo. E mi fermo qui….

Venendo alla foto, più la guardo e più sento i rotori schioppettanti degli elicotteri, sento i sibili, i battidenti, quel terrore sordo che puzza di dolore che si nasconde dietro le tante ostentate e "virili" liturgie di guerra che la cinematografia americana ci ha proposto più volte, spesso efficacemente… La tua foto è evocativa e terribile, anche perché dolorosamente sempre attuale…

Ciao

Grazie Jo per l'attenzione; e tanta attenzione richiede due righe di ringraziamento e condivisione. Lo scatto e' insignificante, era lì dimenticato. Ma se il passato lo archiviamo velocemente nella memoria, il presente pervade il senso comune, così ritrovando il fotogramma ho pensato di legarlo alla scena di quel bellissimo film. Uno delle tre meraviglie assieme a platoon, full metal jacket.

Non posso che essere, per quanto mi sforzi, d'accordo con te e gli illustri pensatori che hai citato (anche nell'altra foto). Forse è proprio nella guerra che l'uomo fornisce la sua massima rappresentazione, la sua avidità. Oliver Stone su questo concetto costruì un altro magnifico film. Potrei scrivere sulla capacità di ragionamento, nell'intelletto applicato con le migliori intenzioni ma sarebbe solo pura illusione, discorsi accademici, privi di valore concreto e di riscontro.

Le scene del film. La prima che da sola vale l'Oscar. La seconda è la verità di decenni dopo.

(P.s. Cerca la serie la storia raccontata da Oliver Stone, si impara qualcosa)





e allora anche platoon,,,

[QUOTAS] .. scene always current..
already.... Every now and then it would be enough to say no, knowing full well what we are going through. It seems to me that many are rooting for war, we need to see how many of these, including political journalists or ordinary people, would then leave here to go there

Hoping it will remain a photo, an exercise on our skies ..
The photo is very valid and well built with this grain a little more evident that I find there is a brush with what was taken. I
have read and I do not go into valid considerations.

Nice proposal that your caption makes more current and truthful than ever, the instruments of death are never an answer for people. Bravo
Ciao Stefano
