| Q: | What's the name of the famous war song that's playing in the video that all of the troops are watching? (from Jeremiah Pasternak in Rye NH) |
| A: | The jarheads are watching Coppola's Apocalypse Now! The scene they are watching is when the Americans invade a native beach in Vietnam because they want to go surfing and the tune played is "The Ride of the Valkyries" by R. Wagner... Coppola tried to show how pointless and absurd the Vietnam war was and the story was based on the book Heart of Darkness by J. Conrad (though Conrad actually wrote the book about colonialism in Congo).
Wagner was also one of Hitler's favorite composers and Der Führer used the music to pump up his soldiers during WWII and he thought Wagner's political views emphasised and supported Hitler's vision of the German state... (the third Reich). The tune is from Wagner's opera Die Walküre... (thanks to Nick J., Boston) add more info |
