APOCALYPSE NOW

George Lucas was originally set to direct the film from a screenplay by John Milius, of which Lucas had a hand in the early development of the script. Lucas' initial plan was to shoot the movie as a fake documentary on-location in South Vietnam while the war was still in progress. Francis Ford Coppola, who was to be the Executive Producer, tried to get the film made as part of a production deal with Warner Brothers. The deal fell through, and Coppola went on to direct The Godfather. By the time both men were powerful enough to get the film made, Saigon had fallen, and Lucas was busy making Star Wars. Milius had no interest in directing the film. Lucas gave Coppola his blessing to direct the film. However, Coppola and Lucas's friendship was strained for a number of years due to Lucas unable to direct the film.

when he comes out of the water at the end with the lightning and doors song playing is pretty dope

Marlon Brando improvised the line "You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill."

While in pre-production, Francis Ford Coppola consulted his friend and mentor Roger Corman for advice about shooting in the Phillipines. Corman's advice: "Don't go."

Laurence Fishburne was 14 when production began in 1976, which means he lied about his age.

But is he white?

This is the only 'modern trailer' I really like.

>G'day
Mate it's 5 in the morning get some sleep cunt

That dreamlike, surreal sequence with the bridge whose construction never ends, with the carnival lights and music and the soldiers all running around in chaos with no one taking command, was some from of kino.

Marlon Brando so angered Francis Ford Coppola that Coppola turned over the filming of Brando's scenes to Assistant Director Jerry Ziesmer.

Francis Ford Coppola believed that Marlon Brando was familiar with Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", the novel on which the movie is based. When Brando arrived on-set, Coppola was horrified to find that Brando had never read "Heart of Darkness", did not know his lines, and had become extremely overweight. Kurtz had always been written as tall and very thin. After some panic, Coppola decided to film the 5'10" Brando as if he was a massively built, 6'5" brute to explain his size, and kept the camera away from his huge belly.

the virgin director vs the chad fatass

>watched vietnam movie last night
>LITERALLY 'fortunate son' starts playing
fuck you guys so much

Clint Eastwood turned down the role of Captain Willard because he felt the film was too dark.

Francis Ford Coppola threatened suicide several times during the making of the film.

Substance abuse was rampant among the cast and crew. Dennis Hopper got a teenaged Laurence Fishburne addicted to heroin.

This movie is like a fever dream all the way through.

Robert Duval was an out right mess on the set and refused to lose weight for the roll. They edited and shot around his unrealistically obese frame.

I was just about to go reread Heart of Darkness. Just dropped by to give you a bump and to say it's the best movie ever made.

Thoughts on this movie?

The Deer Hunter is now starting, come watch

The Deer Hunter is almost as good, coincidentally.

Is this what you call plantation mentality?

45 minutes left of wedding Deer Hunter then kino starts, come watch with your Yea Forums bros

This is almost never the case. Theatrical cuts are to satisfy the plebs, extended cuts are to better reach the ideas that the directors etc are trying to achieve

Vietnam finally

The Deer Hunter now in 'Nam. Come watch KINO

During the 29th Berlin International Film Festival in 1979, the Soviet delegation expressed its indignation with the film which, in their opinion, insulted the Vietnamese people in numerous scenes. Other Communist countries also voiced their solidarity with the "heroic people of Vietnam". They protested against the screening of the film, and insisted that it violated the statutes of the festival, since it in no way contributed to the "improvement of mutual understanding between the peoples of the world." The ensuing domino effect led to the walk-outs of the Cubans, East Germans, Bulgarians, Poles, and Czechoslovakians, and two members of the jury resigned in sympathy.

Fuck GOOKS

The third film, after Hi, Mom! (1970) and Taxi Driver (1976), in which Robert De Niro played a Vietnam Veteran.

kys reddit

after the french scene i couldnt pay attention anymore and i was glad when the movie finally ended

you can't be this stupid
it is the link to watch the stream

the title of the song is "It ain't me"

my favorite movie. Nothing will ever top this.

>Years later, when Hickenlooper made his documentary, most of the stars and crew were happy to talk about the movie, except Brando. Hickenlooper tracked him down to the set of a movie and made his move. "'Mr Brando, we're making a documentary on Apocalypse Now, would you be prepared to do an on-camera interview?'" Brando turned round and stared like death into Hickenlooper's face. "Why are you making a film about that fat fuck, he owes me $2m."

redux would have been the best version if Coppola didn't include the long-ass, flow-breaking french plantation scene.

John Cazale and Robert De Niro played members of the Corleone family in The Godfather: Part II (1974), although they had no scenes together. De Niro's character, Vito Corleone, was the father of Cazale's, Fredo Corleone. John Savage appeared in The Godfather: Part III (1990), as Andrew Hagen, the son of Consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall).
