...justification, isolates Nat from his murderous followers and portrays the man's pure hate; it is calm, intelligent, and unrepentant. Others, says Styron, "hate but with a hatred which is all sullenness and impotent resentment, like the helpless, resigned fury one feels toward indifferent Nature throughout long days of relentless heat or after periods of unceasing rain." Nat, however, had known the white man and had been cultivated...
...imagery of incredible violence is the only real visual counterpoint to the desolate image of the landscape. And this is violence unlike that of any other film. Instead of the crisp theatricality and well-timed effects of a movie like The Dirty Dozen, Penn forces on us the relentless destruction of the human body. Even as the audience laughs at one of the gang's hilariously bungled getaways, a bank clerk jumps on the running board of the car and has his face blown off by a shot through the car window. The camera remains fixed on the bloody head...

...alone prove decisive, is putting so great a strain on Hanoi that before long a major break will ensue. Last spring, U.S. Air Force Lieut. General William ("Spike") Momyer, commander of the bombing war in Viet Nam, devised a tactic known as "pursuit-of-a-target system" that puts relentless pressure on the North's transportation network. Instead of blasting a road or bridge and then leaving it alone for a while, the system calls for flyers to make continuous "multiple cuts" in roads and rail lines, trapping trains and trucks between the gaps and leaving them exposed...
