IIRC this actually came from Coppola. Kurtz in the book is described as lean or even skinny, but when Brando arrived he was all but obese. So they hid his overweight by filming him in the shadows and also making him look like a giant.

The fact he acknowledges they were not monsters but men is something I've been trying to put into people's heads about nazism for years, mind you, I'm a history teacher: I always say that we tend to call people who do horrible things as "monsters" but what makes you realize how evil their acts were is the fact they are human beings just like you and me, THAT is what gives weight to those actions. Acknowleding that fact is what's needed to learn from the mistakes of the past: realize those aren't monsters distant from humanity, but the fact the darkness is present deep into every Man's heart everyday, everywhere right next to us, lurking beneath the veil

I think he saw the insanity of war and realised to conquer it we must become immersed in it. It’s why we need absolution from God to be able to live with our national pasts and our selves, because to defeat horror we must become of it. Those Vietnamese who cut those kids’ arms off committed acts of unspeakable violence for their cause, to make life better for subsequent generations, who live in the shadow of their horror and whose lives are built upon it. We may forgive those who commit horror in our name, for the lives they’ve enabled us to lead, but we cannot ever absolve them of their deeds, that’s up to God.

He employed their own tactics and more and got results. The V. C. got scared and complained to the U. S. Military Command about Kurtz's actions. Unfortunately for Kurtz, the U. S. Command was about business and not about winning the alleged War in South East Asia. The horror, the horror...

The contradiction of good people committing evil acts is what drove Kurtz mad. The idea that the rules of war, a conflict that must be won, could be used to restrict evil acts is in and of itself madness to Kurtz because as he shows here good people can commit horrible acts. So for Kurtz, the sane thing to do in an insane atmosphere like that of war is to not restrain oneself because that is the essence of the situation. Yet in doing what he did he made himself into a personification of the evil of war itself. A force that consumes all it comes into contact with.

“I’ve seen horrors… horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that… but you have no right to judge me. It’s impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face… and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember… I… I… I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God… the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men… trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment. Because it’s judgment that defeats us.”

One of the great things the film did was set up Kurtz in the beginning with his dossier as "the best of the best" with a sterling academic background, including a Masters Degree in history from Harvard. This was an intelligent, educated man. But as Willard says, his record was almost "too perfect". You can see in that record the man's tragic flaw -- his desire for perfection, his obsessive drive, became what drove him to seek any method whatsoever to achieve his aims. His aims to win in Vietnam became his new object of obsession. And it mirrors the real history of Vietnam, the stubborn pride and obsession of so many to "stay the course", to "win at all costs".

I am amazed at the way in which the most enlightened Americans try to catharsis of their most overwhelming war defeat. In that role they have produced the best books, the best songs, and the best movies. And Americans appear, suddenly and as if by magic, as a people who have learned a valuable lesson. But, at the same time, the true power of the throne continues to engage a nation that has the power to cure many of the evils of this world, in new imperialist adventures. And those enlightened Americans become part of a consumer industry, in which their powerful anti-war messages end up being another product. In short: they haven't learned a damn thing ...

I think it has to do with the American civilian experience of war. They have never know a "total war" in the way that other countries have, a total war that mobilised all the resources of the country in order to survive. They find it hard to empathise with a people who resent foreign troops on their streets and in their skies and find it odd that US soldiers are not welcomed. Inside their safe walls they fear what is beyond the walls.

From a historical standpoint, Kurtz’ extreme methods would ultimately fail since the North Vietnamese were willing to give up everything they had to win the war and believed they had nothing to lose except the independence of their nation. To quote Willard in the film, “Charlie had only two ways home: death or victory." This is the true tragedy behind Kurtz’ character because it means his descent into madness was all for nothing.

kurtz describes nothing but the NS / SS ethos here. "be decent good guys with standards, but kill our enemies mercilessly and without any whatsoever empathy even to their weakest and youngest." and especially himmler and heydrich, the two top monsters of the holocaust did exactly that. at home they were the kind decent daddies who cared a lot for peace and quiet. as himmler himself said in his infamous posen speech: "the lot of you will know what it means to see 100 corpses, 500 or even 1000 corpses in front of you. but to have done that, and besides a few human exceptions, having stayed DECENT, that made us strong."

He must have been waiting forever to tell that story to someone because only a consummate soldier just like him would truly understand. My theory is the desk jockeys of the general staff we see in the beginning of the movie had been using Kurtz with his methods for their purposes - no questions asked - and when the political situation back home became such that they no longer had any use for him, they sent Capt. Willard to lend him an ear and finally put him out of his misery after all he'd seen and done. *And the message of the movie is clear:* The truly ruthless monsters aren't those poor souls damned to risk their lives out in the wild loading their conscience with the most savage acts imaginable but it's those well-paid men in their star-spangled uniforms and airconditioned offices willing to have hundreds, thousands, even millions snuffed out to promote their own careers.

So twisted and fucked up. There's people there standing on ceremony to serve this man, he's not alone, he's the head of an organisation and so his ideas are powerful. Then he brings us into his ideas and they're twisted - he describes horror and tragedy and shows us a moment where it becomes something else. That's the genius of this scene, you're walked through the madness of the logic and it sounds like it makes sense because it might make sense in war, but not in normal life. The poor guy waiting to kill him just knows he's listening to someone who's gone mad and is probably pretty mad himself, but he's got a job to do and his eyes keep lighting up with the knowledge he has to kill. You can see he's ready to do it and what it looks like. It doesn't look like a big Hercules man, it just looks like a guy who will kill because it's his job. Amazing scene. War is hell and this is a window into it

Trying to impose limits on war is beyond insane. There is only one rule in war. To win. That's it. No different than football, checkers, or playing horseshoes. And it amazes me how so many people don't get that. They think combat is a high school play or a science fair. They have no idea what the military is or does. They sent Army units into Africa to teach them arts and crafts. That's how stupid these bureaucrats are today.
