One of the most troubled productions ever, and one of the most acclaimed. Although he considered shooting in Australia, Francis Coppola decided on the Philippines because production coordinator Fred Roos had contacts there from shooting two back-to-back Monte Hellman films. Some of the eventually $30 million budget went into the pockets of Ferdinand Marcos's local officials. Shooting began in 1976 but after nearly two years in post production it finally met the public in 1979. Reissued in 2001 as Apocalypse Now Redux with 49 minutes of extended material.

One of the greatest films I have ever seen. One of the greatest film ever made. A true masterpiece of film-making since the invention of film.

Roger Corman told Coppola not to shoot in the Philippines during monsoon season. Did Coppola heed Corman's advice? Of course not. The moral of the story is this. ALWAYS listen to Roger Corman.

Contrary thought: what if Coppola had listened and the shoot went smooth... then the film somehow wasn't a masterpiece?

It's like all of Coppola's genius was expelled into this film. It was such a hellish, otherworldly experience that all of his maverick brilliance was captured in the frames of this film, never to be seen again. He hasn't made a film nearly as good since then. Yea, I like The Outsiders...but's a melodramatic affair. I also love Dracula, but it's script is a mess and it really only worthwhile as an audio/visual experience. Apocalypse Now is a rampaging beast of a film. It has the smarts, the writing, the acting, the visuals. It's incredible.

In the end, THIS was the film he couldn't top.

Saw this when it first came out in 70mm 6 track Dolby stereo. Still to this date my all time favourite movie theatre experience.

Coppola masterpiece after The Godfather, The Conversation and The Godfather II. A powerful Vietnam War movie made in 1979. Great performances by Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando and I love the smell of napalm in the morning Robert Duvall. Appearances by Harrison Ford and Laurence Fishburne. A tough shoot for Coppola, but it would haunt for him for the rest of his life.

Saw it in the theater as a 14 year old (they never checked to see how old we were back then). I will always remember that ending was different that what I see today. The end had B-52's bomb the hell out of Kurtz's compound. I hope I am not remembering wrong, but that is what I remember (like I remember a scene that I have never seen again, in Animal House....not even in the director's cut). Strange what one remembers. EDIT: Well folks, I just had to go and look.....the last one mentioned it, just as I remembered it.....mentalfloss.com/article/68031/17-fascinating-facts-about-apocalypse-now

@maxthepupp 3 года назад

Wait. What was the scene in Animal House?

Let's give credit also to Jerry Zeismer, rock solid assistant director without whom this movie could never have happened as well as it did. He also appears in the film, with the line "terminate with extreme prejudice".

I liked the scene used in the redux version where Willard is in the sweat-box and the kids are looking in on him and playing around the box and Kurtz is standing there with the kids also looking in on him. I think that scene has a kind of banality of evil aspect; you have Kurtz who is just massacring people and hanging their carcasses from trees yet he's out there with the kids who don't see him in the same way the audience does, like he could be their uncle or grandpa. To me that scene is just interesting.

Greatest film ever made. Every scene is mind blowing.

@garrybaldy327 4 года назад

Reeduks, Josh - not Reedoo. I think you've been listening to Martin Sheen.

I was after Vietnam. But I am a 1st CAV combat veteran of the Gulf War. And he captured the CAV . . . .

Hot naked women do not a film masterpiece make. I didn't care for the Redux version of AN -- too long. Though I did like the extra scenes with Robert Duvall in search of his stolen surfboard. Still, I prefer this movie's original cut...an amazing war flick.

@wobblertv8083 2 года назад

Shame they didn't go for the ending where kurtz goes out like a soldier with him and Martin sheen taking on a viet kong offensive .Still a great movie though .

As far as the Redux version is concerned, remember what Chef said in the original version, "never get off the boat", in the Redux version, they got off the boat.

@tcehaus2600 6 лет назад

I watched that this 8 times before I could say I liked it. I was asked the (understandable) question. Why the fuck you watch it if you don't like it. I replied because there is something that keeps bringing me back to it.

@juniorjames7076 9 месяцев назад

The only other films that have that same effect on me are films by John Cassavetes.

@daxxonjabiru428 3 года назад

Didn't care for Alpaca Lips now or the Conservation.

@amberlopez7477 4 года назад

The movie is great. But the casting of fat Brando was a mistake.

@smit4459 5 лет назад

"Apocalypse Now" (1979) is an awful film in my opinion. The only two compelling aspects I enjoy, regarding the movie, are the beautiful cinematography and Marlon Brando's outstanding performance.
