My Take
John Milius is one of those guys Hollywood keeps trying to write out of its own history, but you simply can't — his fingerprints are all over the films that defined an era. He penned scripts for Jeremiah Johnson and Dirty Harry that gave American cinema its grit and philosophical swagger in the early seventies. His directing work on Conan the Barbarian and Red Dawn is gloriously unashamed — big, loud, ideologically brazen in ways that studios today would never greenlight. And his co-writing credit on Apocalypse Now? That's not a footnote, that's a foundational stone. He co-wrote it with Francis Ford Coppola and earned an Oscar nomination for it. The fact that he inspired Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski might actually be his most affectionate tribute.
