Edited Script

The following is a public service announcement from the United States Zombie Crisis Center.
After a recent study, we have found that the noise from firearms attract more
zombies. We instruct that you only use firearms in dire needs.
There are a few Household items that civilians have recorded to work best when terminating a zombies brain.
The first is a crowbar.
the crowbar is lightweight and can be used for stabbing through the eyesocket or fracturing the skull.
it can also be used to open doors.
Your standard civilian machete or axe can be effective in smashing through the skull for those who are strongwilled enough.
sometimes repeated blows  are needed.
In close combat a long screwdriver into the eye socket will easily enter the brain.
Remember to keep your weapons at a light weight, but strong enough to terminate the brain.  Too heavy of a weapon can lead to fatigue or eventual death.

It is very important to understand what to do when seeing a zombie
first, you have to know what are the physical characteristics of a zombie
A zombie appears to have a grey-blue-green or purple flesh tint. Decomposition is a common appearance to the zombie. Worms exiting the eye sockets is common.

Now, what do you do when you see a zombie
Don't get excited, stay calm remember zombies are slow movers
You will need to terminate the zombie,
Running away is only a temporary fix.

Don't get sentimental, zombies will eat you
The usually friendly Mr. Johnson from down-the-street won't hesitate to rip your ear off.

consider your surroundings.
Zombies have been well-known to break through windows and bite the clueless person standing nearby.

Improvising with weapons are key in disposing zombies
only use firearms in dire needs, firearms make noise which attract more zombies
look for household items that you can use to crush the skull of a zombie
Targeting the brain is the only way to terminate a zombie, so find a blunt object.

Steel crowbars work, or you can grab a standard machete from the hallway closet.

Problem 3 Script NEW

You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve 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.

Problem 3 Movie Analysis

Apocalypse Now Critical Analysis

Apocalypse Now is a 1979 Vietnamese War movie by Francis Ford Coppola. The movie is about a mission Captain Benjamin L. Willard, played by Martin Sheen, is ordered to carry out. His mission is to terminate Colonel Walter E. Kurtz, played by Marlon Brando, who has gone presumably insane in Cambodia. The movie begins showing Captain Willard suffering from PTSD being assigned the mission by two intelligence officers. Willard joins a crew of Navy Patrol Boat Riverine who will take him to Kurtz’s location. The crew rendezvous with the First of the Ninth Air Cavalry commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, played by Robert Duvall. The next morning after the rendezvous, the Fist of the Ninth Air Cavalry take Willard to his next location. As the boat continues up the river they stop to watch a USO show featuring Playboy centerfolds. Shortly after, Chief, the boat driver and commander spots a sampan and orders an expection even though Willard objects. After a young women on the boat makes a sudden movement they kill the people on the boat. The chief insists on taking the woman to medical attention, however, Willard shoots her so that they can continue on. Next the boat stops at a warzone and Willard and Lance, one of the soldiers on the boat, go to the trenches to gather some information. After they realize that there is no order and just chaos they return to the boat. Lance pops a smoke grenade that catches the attention of the enemy and one of the soldiers on the boat is killed while listening to audio tape from his mother. The chief begins to grow angry with Willard and blames his mission for the death of Clean. Later that day villagers begin shooting wooden arrows at the boat that wouldn’t harm the soldiers. The Chief is then hit with a spear and is killed. While the Chief is dying he tries to strangle Willard. The surviving crew agree to go with Willard and they journey upriver as they approach where they believe Kurtz’s outpost is. At the climax of the movie, they arrive at Kurtz’s outpost they see bodies and decapitated heads. They are greeted by a crazy freelance photographer who explains all about Kurtz and how the people believe him to be a god. Willard is brought to Kurtz where Kurtz explains to Willard how he knows he was sent to kill him. After a few days of being locked up Kurtz frees Willard knowing Willard won’t leave anyway. Kurtz decapitates Chef, another soldier who was on the boat, as he is calling in an airstrike. Kurtz then lectures Willard on his theories to war, humanity, and civilization. He then goes on to ask Willard to tell his son everything about him in the event of his death almost as if he wanted Willard to put him out of his misery. That night, at a ceremony Willard sneeks up on Kurtz and kills him with a machete. As he walks away the villagers grow silent and lower their weapons. The final scene shows Willard and Lance driving away in the boat.

Apocalypse Now displays several themes throughout the movie. The major theme displayed in the movie is soldiers suffereing from PTSD. This is a reoccurring theme shown throughtout  the entire movie of how soldiers went crazy over the hardships of the war. The movie takes the standpoint of how the Vietnam War was a mess, waste of lives and resources. Also shows how hard wartime is for soldiers especially younger unexperienced soldiers.(Chef and Clean) At the same time, experienced soldiers either suffer on the inside or alone(Captain Willard) or they made the war a reality.(Captain Kilgore )Another theme in the movie is Captain Willard vs. himself. He doesn’t know whether he wants to kill the decorated Colonel Kurtz or not. He also doesn’t see the point to risk lives to kill one of their own. Another theme of the movie is how the soldiers were all young and were thinking of home most of the time and immature to what was going on until they witnessed it. The showing of the soldiers with the Playboy centerfolds, psychedelic rock, and surfing during the war all show this theme throughourt the movie.
