Wilbert Hill Jr. : Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now, was a movie about freedom and redemption. It starts with a soldier who wanted to be at war but was in his hotel room drinking liqour, until he recieved orders from a superior soldier to go over to Vietnam and kill a commanding officer who had lost all moral stability in his mind, and also had lost his immoral discretion among men. This commanding officer had turned into a killer and maniac amongst men. He would kill ma and women and leave there bodies hanging from trees or either have there heads cut off and put them on a stack. As this desdened soldier embarks on his journey. He first meets his crew that he will be with while in Vietnam. These men are all from different walks of life, but they are brough together for one purpose. The youngest man on the boat is 17 years of age. This young man is shot and killed while listening to a recorded message from his mother on the boat. The leading officer on the boat and main character says an extremely important statement when he says; Don't get off the God Damn boat unless you are ready to go all the way. This is the most important statement for me in the whole entire movie because he gives the audience a vivid statement of an assigment, and obedience by faith to the assignment that is given. For example Peter in the Holy Bible got out of the boat when Jesus bid him to come, and by faith he was ready to take tohe first steps, but soon as he seen the danger of the waves crashing he started to doubt and lost hope in the hope of glory, which is Jesus. Peter could have walked on the water the whole way, but lost his main focus, which was Jesus. The leading officer told and warned his crew not to get off the boat unless you are ready to die yourself. One of the crew stayed on the boat hidding under a blanket, because he was scared, but in the end he was found by the enemy and was beheaded. The leading officer was not scared and was ready to go the whole entire way no matter if it killed him. He did his mission with vigilence and obedience, and was faithful until the end.In the end the tribe had to bow down to him beacause he was victorious in killing there leader. He was set free and also the tribe was set free from the rule of the perditional maniac.
