helicopter


i am a serious student of film. i have been so since i was about five years old. even at that age i was reading credits because i was curious to know who was responisble for freaking my little girl brain. my eyes have always been wide and thirstily focused on 'the screen.' that being said, my praise for filmmaker francis ford coppola has been historically selective. i've seen 'apocalypse now,' and i think the scene where the playboy girls are lowered under cover of darkness to entertain the wild troops is among the most eloquent scenes. it could conceiveably 'say it all.' i'm not sure who was responsible for costuming the girls in this scene, but what the girls are wearing really adds to the impact.
