I was simply making a statement that Wagner scene from "Apocalypse Now" was a symbolic slap in the face of the troops in Vietnam (at least I think that is what Coppola meant it to be).
I like Wagner music a lot though I don't think I could go through a whole opera. I enjoy the Rienzi Overture myself.

Well I guess I'm just too dumb to get it - I was there - VN -'66 to '70 - loved the movie and the music.
