apocalypse now

I'll be blunt, I think I would have gotten more out of the movie if I had been able to watch it straight through. What I did get out of it was enjoyable. The most interesting part for me was colonel Kilgore and his helicopter team. That entire section of the film had a very surreal feel to it. I suppose Kilgore deals with war as well as anyone. Ignoring reality and trying to surf in a war zone is an amusing way to deal with the situation. I can't find anything wrong with it. If people spend too much time in that reality they really will go insane, so why not deny the reality?

Did anyone else pick up on the cow getting airlifted out and suspect it was somehow connected with the cow at the end of the film? I don't know what it means but I'm convinced that it's important.
