the film looks to be a cross between “Full Metal Jacket” and “Apocalypse Now.”

I think apocalypse now is a farcical piece of $hit, why would people be flocking to this movie?

I agree
How the hell it became such a classic is beyond me

They probably won't. For a really good military movie, people could see "The Great Raid."

So was the Vietnam War after Robert STRANGE MacNamara got done with it, so it fits...

It all depends what you think it was about. If you think it was about Vietnam, then yes, it was moronic. If you think it was about something else, then there might be value there.

One person's trash is another person's treasure.

I saw "Apocalypse Now" when it was released and then waited about 15 years before I watched it again. The second time I was by myself at home with a note pad in hand.

To me the movie was filled with hundreds of metaphors. Depending on one's experience in Vietnam, any number of them can be relevant.

I can truly say that what was depicted in the scenes in "AN" didn't happen to me, but, by the time I was through with the second viewing, I had about 75 references jotted down on my note pad about things that did. Many of those references were long forgotten, repressed if you like, since serving two tours in Vietnam.
