Okay so author of The-Things-They-Carried-Tim O'Brien says, (now check this out Mr. Piekarski obviously great minds think alike baahahha) "...The pictures get jumbled...afterwards, when you go to tell about it, there is always that surreal seemingness, which makes the story seem untrue, but which in fact represent the hard and exact truth as it seemed" (p.71). BAM! Yeah, yeah, intro to Apocalypse Now ring a bell?! Mista Piekarski, both Tim O'Briens seem to think that surrealism is a hard and exact truth, so why can't we say that Apocolypse Now is a kind of truth? Just because its the truth as it seems to a particular person, can we say it is not real, ....real and true to them?! Can we not say that reality and truth is relative???? Help me out here, I need feed back!
