When Hacksaw Ridge came out I was reading reviews and people were like, it's great but be prepared for how sickening it is. Nobody says that about Apocalypse Now. Maybe they did when it first came out but I wasn't around to see that.

It seems to me that people who don't want to prepare themselves for it being sickening are perfectly capable of not seeing it

So I'm not sure what the upshot of all that is

Also, the reviewing culture has changed since Apocalypse Now came out. I haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge, but I'm not sure you can make decisions about relative levels of violence based on reviews alone.

And in any case, I can think of more upsetting war films than AN. The Deer Hunter is fairly well regarded, and I still cannot get past the Russian roulette scene.
