I was wondering how white people were allowed to create something in 2022, so I looked it up:
It's German, not made in the UK/US
It portrays Imperial Germany in a negative light, specifically anti-nationalism and patriotism
It is an antiwar polemic
The foregoing make it valuable enough to the Left that the absence of black faces can be tolerated just this once. Anti-nationalism and anti-patriotism were major goals of the Left to undermine the West throughout the Cold War. Left wing authoritarian states like China and Russia would never allow these kinds of stories.
Now think about the movie Patton and how it swept the Oscars in 1970, and how that could never happen again without a massive cultural shift in the United States. Not long after that, every war movie was ideologically driven Leftist garbage. Even the iconic ones like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket are basically just anti-war propaganda. Maybe you could look at Saving Private Ryan as the last movie which has more of a mixed and nuanced message that still takes pains not to "glorify" war.
Ironically the Marines love Full Metal Jacket unironically. Both it and All Quiet were written semi-autobiographically by veterans, and FMJ (The Short-Timers) was even written by a Southern guy who hated the USA, love-hated the USMC, and loved the Confederacy.
Yeah it's pretty funny how even though FMJ is an anti-war polemic, lots of people are like MURICA FUCK YEAH with it.
It has characters in it like this I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING who the audience is clearly intended to hate, but which people actually think is a badass. (it's a AN scene but same thing, I forget most of the details of what happens in FMJ except the dude shooting civilians from a helicopter and joking about it lol)
That's why in later movies, every "bad" character is portrayed as an extremely exaggerated cartoon villain in order to try to prevent people from the same kind of reaction. It's one of the reasons Left shit kept getting worse over time.
Not really, he's very eccentric but an excellent and fearless officer. (Did you see Colonel Kilgore's entry in "Villains Wiki"? These guys clearly watched some other movie.)
NOW, the whole movie is entirely misunderstood. Because you see, even, and rather especially, Colonel Kurtz is a hero. Marlon Brando's casting badly damaged his character, because in the script he's looking like a long haired blonde Adonis while also being like Mars incarnated. The original ending had him dying heroically after manning a ground mounted minigun (from a long disabled helicopter) to mow down a horde of North Vietnamese invading his temple. (I'm not making it up.) Brando was already hardly mobile, besides bald.
You're right. The character should have been more like (a less crazy) Homelander or Ozymandias from the Watchmen, as opposed to Brando, who came across as a strange drugged out creepy weirdo.
