I guess that's their version of 'ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam' ('futhermore, I have concluded that Carthage must be destroyed'), the phrase that Cato used to end every speech he gave in the Roman Senate -- no matter what the topic.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This an expression from someone who either is UNAWARE of the historical debt that the USA has with France to gain independence from the UK, ot he is just downright UNGRATEFUL.
George Washington ceratainly had a different opinion about the French and France. But then again, that was LOOOONG time ago. So LOOOOONG time ago that there is enough room for PREJUDICE to develop in between.
And guys, remember that France did not surrender in Vietnam. They just allowed you to fill in the shoes.

Sincerely,

I love the scene in Apocalypse Now, which didn't make the cut but is included in the extended version, where the soldiers happen upon a remnant French rubber plantation.
That was the missing key to victory. Marlon Brando should have been sent to fight it. Besides, who can forget the "expectations" best captured in a small passage of the script:
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

I'm conscious of what France means in historical context but it is important to note that the PREJUDICE runs both ways.

In -some- but not all cases, it works like that in both countries, indeed.Fios wrote:I'm conscious of what France means in historical context but it is important to note that the PREJUDICE runs both ways.

You -try- to do the French men.
The rest of us will have a conversation -only- with the French ladies.

We watched his in HS and I was hooked.

You need to by the Redux version to see the scene mentioned above. Hands down one of the finest films ever made.

My roomates and I settled in with tombstone pizzas and six-packs one friday night and watched the uncut version -- over three hours long. Earlier that week we had all read the book Heart of Darkness, which is what inspired the movie. It was a very different experience than the typical film. (Yes, we were all nerds).
The movie experience actually compares pretty well to reading straight through Conrad's Heart of Darkness in one sitting. This is one of my favorite books; the man could write a better novel in his second language than I could ever hope to write, period.

I certainly hope this is -not- the case. Not that I expect you to write a fluent African novel in Polish soon but in English you have less of an excuse as did other good English-wrting authors influenced by his work ...Irn-Bru wrote: This is one of my favorite books; the man could write a better novel in his second language than I could ever hope to write, period.

I've only ever seen the Redux version (once), and frankly, I didn't get it. But I have been accused of being a philistine when it comes to great cinema, so maybe that explains it.
