In Reply to: Duvall was shot from below a lot to make him appear larger than life. This posted by tinear on October 11, 2006 at 18:24:41:
Insane! He's being depicted as the epitome of a certain type of crazy person drawn to war. It's a demonstration (as are many things in the film) of the utter lunacy of the whole thing. I really thought that was obvious.And I don't have much feeling for Sheen one way or the other in general but he was pretty much perfect for and in that part. I never thought of him as good so much as someone who's realizing how amoral he's been as a kind of pawn for crazy people. In his encounter with Brando he realized how easily he could have become that guy and he was killing off that part of himself so that he could live. It was his redemption. He'd have been okay with dying but he wound up defeating that part of himself. I'm not saying it was well done but there nothing close to "Yeah, the Americans are good! We're rescuing the locals from a maniac!" happening in that part (or any part) of the movie.
