Questions for the Class After Having Watched "Apocalyspe Now":

Hi everyone.
Watching that movie got me thinking about certain moments in my own life. I have some questions and I was hoping that somebody might answer them.
Have any of you ever reached a time in your life when you thought you were at the breaking point? How did you make it through? If you were able to face that moment and come through visibly unscathed (although the mental wounds may always remain), then do you think there is anything in this world you could not recover from? What is your breaking point - the time at which you would turn your back on the world and see no hope for humanity? Is every person deserving of a second chance? What can one man do that is so vile and so wrong that he should no longer even be considered a human being? Can any person really give in to their evil nature and yet return home to what was once good?
"Apocalypse Now" returned these thoughts to my own mind, and I would appreciate anyone that would like to respond to these queries.

For me, Marlon Brando turned out to be a big let-down. He received top-billing in that film for what I think was about three minutes of actual screen-time. Ridiculous!
