'Apocalypse Now is not about Vietnam. It is Vietnam. It's what it was really like. It was crazy, and the way we made it was very much like the way the Americans were in Vietnam. There were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane.' (Francis Ford Coppola)
The Vietnam conflict was one of the most bitterly resented wars in American history, raising huge moral issues for the nation to confront. In the week that Coppola's epic Vietnam film opens in London, Paul Vaughan looks at the artistic response of the new generation of writers and film makers to those issues.
