Clifford Bodine ... you wont know how good untill you watch the Great Santini and Tender Mercys back to back.

In 'Bullitt', as a cabbie, "How do you know the phone call was long distance ?"" Duvall answers, " 'Cause he put in alot of change." Never forgot that.

A great Actor!

Outstanding. Great cast, from top to bottom.

@@waynej2608 shame he just was in for 11 min

duvall is perfect for every roll he's ever done

@@rouleduke123 probably the most underrated actor ever. Same level of de niro, al pacino, hoffman

@@ram10sin70 second hand lions is my fav duvall role

No he’s actually vey overrated

Wes King Hey, don't bury him yet! He's still alive.

He's not dead yet. 92 is old but not as old as it used to be. Maybe Bob has a movie or two left in him. How old was Burns when he Did "Oh, God"?

And Copolla

Facts

I don't think that Mattin Sheen gets the credit he deserves. He's the main protagonist, the conscience of the film. He's brilliant, as are the others. Fredrick Forrest was impressive, as well. Sheen was great in Badlands, too.

Harrison Ford...

@@kamuelalee who

Yes! That never gets called out. It's a defining moment in the film.

And then he forgot about the guy, which was hilarious in a way.

Yeah, but as soon as he was told Lance Johnson was there, he immediately forgets about the VC and keeps pouring water on the guy and looks for Lance.

@@marianoclerici3986 he offered him water....then dropped the canteen when his attention was needed elsewhere ;)

Lol he found out it was ' lance the surfer' he just walked away.

He was jet fuel drankin, boomstick breakin, hoora makin, get some bacon, born bad no fakin, bad chokin no playin mean bad some a bitch! Hoorah!

Finnish 1980 Fake compliment alert! Bob Duvall is one of the most revered and honored actors out there!

Says who ,has won many awards and is loved by millions.

@Tom Vera Ya, I believe that.

that happened /s

Lol

Great story

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

"Hey 6 bucks for the camo,man!"

"Air Cavalry son, AIR MOBILE!" (and in the background "Dum-Dum-Da-Da-Dum-Dum-Dum-Da-Dum-DA-Dum..." Ride of the Valkyries)

"Hey Soldier...do you know who you're Commanding Officer is?" Long Pause "Yeah...."

"We're going about forty clicks past the Do Long Bridge...." "That's Cambodia, sir" "We're not supposed to be IN Cambodia but that's where I'm going...."

"If I say it's safe to surf this beach , it's safe to surf this beach!"

A great Actor!!

Apocyl Doomer He was also in the original Twilight Zone.

Falling down

@@twilliamsusmc That was Michael Duglass

@@panhead55 Charlie don’t surf!!

@@panhead55 Didn’t know that, thanks

Chris Henderson That last line gave me my best laugh of the day. Thanks.

I am a Fan!

Calm down you liberal fruit cake

I dig Duvall's passion for his characters.

Yeah this big division thing amongst people is a brand new thing, it's like people have regressed to like the 1800's. So I guess it's not totally brand new. I was brought up in the 70's and 80's and it was drilled into us to consider other people's outlooks, ideas, beliefs, that people are different in many different ways etc etc.

@@williamsherman1089 Well said...I reached adulthood during that time. Like another world when I look back on it....I long for those days...who would have thought.

@Keith No it was not perfect for sure....But some how we rose above it..maybe with some sense of humor...which is needed in tuff times..and which seems to be all but gone nowadays...

@Keith Can't help it your world was that bad back then if you were even around then. Mine wasn't, and let me guess, it's because I'm white.

@Keith wow..you don't have to come down so hard..the 70s did have great shows. We did all sorts of things.we weren't so damed caught up in all the depressing garbage all time..so cool it.

Duvall is a great actor no doubt but he's nowhere close to Brando.

dane vore sorry man .my dad was there 67.68. much respect..

+dane vore - Like others have noted, you and your military service matter to me, too. Welcome home, soldier. Thank you for serving.

dane vore someday this war is going to end

I love jow he grabs the gun quick and the guys just run

Is he talking about MG Casey, after whom the FT Hood Library is named, whose son was CG in Iraq and, later, the US Army CofS?

Just be yourself.

To me that line shows he is delusional, especially given that the war ended with a defeat. Kilgore is the antithesis of Kurtz, whereas Kurtz realizes that the military were trying to make Vietnam seem like home it only emphasized that it wasn't. The enemy had only two ways home, victory or death, whereas the Americans could simply go home (as they did in the end). This disparity is meant as the undercurrent of the movie, that the war was being fought in a way that couldn't be won because the two forces had very different motivations. One was pure, fight or die, do whatever needed to be done to continue the fight and never stop. The other was less pure and almost murky, they were trying to make themselves comfortable in enemy territory by making enemy territory look or feel like home and it only served to make them more homesick. This is shown in Kilgore, his campfire cookouts and guitar playing, the surfing and later in the USO show with the playboy bunnies. That scene in particular is meant to show how the military were trying to bolster troop moral but it ends with the soldiers trying to climb onto the helicopter as the women flee, the harder they tried to make Vietnam home the more the troops wanted to just go home. Kurtz is meant to strike the viewer as a monster, insane and almost evil but he has abandoned the trappings of America and made enemy territory his home, literally and figuratively even reading the philosophy books of the enemy. The message was that the war was always doomed, because people like Kilgore thought all you had to do was use your advanced weaponry and keep killing the enemy until the war was won. Kurtz saw through this lie and realized the enemy embraced horror and was willing to do anything and everything it took to continue fighting the invaders. That the only way to win that war was to become like them and abandon the rules of war, become monsters committing atrocities. He recites the story which made this clear. When he had been working as a member of special forces he had helped vaccinate a village for polio, they left with the village happy they had come. When they returned they found the enemy had returned after they left and cut off the arms of everyone who had been vaccinated as a message, if you welcome the enemy (us troops) you are traitors and will be punished in a way that warns everyone else what the consequences will be. While the American forces did commit war crimes they were never going to go to the same lengths as the enemy, and in the end the war was lost. Kurtz knew this, Kilgore didn't. Kilgore believed that victory would eventually be achieved, in some ways the two men were written as very similar, emotionless and brutal, yet the difference is that Kurtz was willing to become a monster to win a war that was being lost while Kilgore believed himself a hero who was already winning the war, both were wrong just about different things. Kilgore was wrong to think the war could be won that way, Kurtz was wrong to think the ends justified the means. The entire movie plays this out in explicit detail, and if your takeaway is that Kilgore was destined for greatness you missed all the signs that he was just as evil as Kurtz, but worst also completely blind to the reality the war was being lost while they dreamed about returning home to surf and hold beach parties.

redux was shown in theaters. There is no such thing as a good movie that's too long, only a bad movie that's too long.

Lol during this film brando was a fucking diva refused to learn his lines or prepare showed up fat on set and refused to work with Dennis hopper . Hopper was a full fledged drug addict and said to Coppola that hes missing some motivation and "something" could help him act (cocaine) . Martin sheen was struggling very much with alcohol addiction and the first scene with him in his room was actually him having a breakdown ..so dont talk like that every generation has its share of responsible and careless actor . Duvall was probably the only sane actor on set

Daniel Sutfin I believe you. I was an Eagle Dustoff medic based at Camp Eagle, just slightly north of Phu Bai. A night hoist in triple canopy had us with 8 to 10 inches clearance around the main rotor (we flew H models) and 10 to 12 inches clearance around the tail rotor. You can't do that stuff stoned.

Did you launch an attach with Ride of the Valkyries playing full blast?

Who got stone and flew in this movie ?

@@iceberg4479 no one in the film flew and smoked...he was referring to Duvalls comment about talking to men who were there and the crazy things he was told abouy them he says "they were on dope etc"

@@warborn_inc. I believe that.

Probably embarrassed about never seeing combat and killing anyone...

Because a lot of veterans dont like to bring it up. To them it's not what defines them.

Because he didn't see any combat and knows it doesn't translate at all into such experience. Here's what he said about his experience in military: > "That's led to some confusion in the press," he explained in 1984, "Some stories have me shooting it out with the Commies from a foxhole over in Frozen Chosin. Pork Chop Hill stuff. Hell, I barely qualified with the M-1 rifle in basic training" Seems like answer of an honest man. There are too many cases of people who use their scarce military experience as a point in discussion, or making up dumb stories on how much they know about military, guns and war as if they were a general or a special forces guy, and then you find out that this dude was some clerk or a cook or a truck driver lol. I always call this "Andy Anderson syndrome"

I wonder if he realized what a liberal the guy he's talking to (Bob Costas) actually is.......

It was an ounce of homophobia, dated and not funny.

@@pointysidedown it was funny and based

@@pointysidedown WRONG

When you could actually say it as it is. Remember? Hilarious

He lives in The Plains Virginia. Everyone in town knows and likes him. Very nice man.

@@luvsilly60 I know, used to live in Purcellville

Johnny Mosley Thank you for your service. I'm sorry you heroes didn't get the love and respect you deserve from our country.

The nazis said the same thing.

Basically admitting that they were right and you were killing the wrong people. Should've been killing the people who sent you there.

One of the worst disgraces in US history.

Mr Johnny Mosley, THANK YOU and ALL OF YOUR BROTHERS & SISTERS and WELCOME HOME! 🇺🇲🇺🇸

Jedediah Laub-Klein i think he ultimately cut the scene so slow ppl with lesser intelligence wouldnt get confused about the dehumanization of Kilgore's character which was the main objective that Coppola was trying to capture in the film!!!!!!!

THUGSologist Why would Coppola pander to less intelligent audience members? Why would an artist change his work to appeal to as many people as possible and in the process dumb it down?

Jedediah Laub-Klein never thought about that .. true..

Not much empathy becuase just before he drinks Kilgore lets the water dribble just out of reach - his attention distracted by a famous surfer on his battlefield

Totally agree!
