The river scenes in Apocolypes Now..where the green tracers were coming
at the riverboat..had me under the seats doing a low crawl through the
Juju bes and candy wrappers until someone stepped on my head and snapped
me out of it.

I didnt go to war movies for yrs after that.

The last one I watched..sat down and watched..was Saving Private
Ryan..and I had to get up and walk around several times durng the first
part of the movie..the Normandy invasion on the beach....that..was real.



The bullets smacking into the steel of the tank traps.
Dunno why that one set me off so bad.

But there was something visceral in that scene...
