First two hours is vietnam war kino

Lets say first half is boring. I like nature in that movie but when i watch it i always start in part there where they rescue puppy from evil rice farmers.

The whole point of the movie is Willard's descent into Hell, into madness, but when he reaches the end of his journey and finds Kurtz he's shocked to discover Kurtz has become the master of chaos. He's found serenity through war and brutality. This is what Kurtz is explaining to Willard when he says one must make peace with moral terror. If you were expecting a bloody shootout or fistfight then you weren't paying attention.

>and is better with repeated viewings

This. Took me 3 viewings to fully appreciate this kino but now i watch it every time it's on

Why did the retard director still insist on using him when he was a literal blimp? You could forgive the poor delivery and the half assed acting but his physique was fucking COMICAL.

Just. Use. A. Different. Fucking. Actor.

How do I watch this lads

With your eyes you dumb fuck.
Because he is a great actor.

the contrarianism on this site is amazing. marlon didn't even need to try to make his appearance in this iconic

if you watch hearts of darkness, they explained that brando demanded a million dollars upfront before filming even began. they couldnt afford to get another actor once they realized he didnt remember any of this lines or lose any weight

Henry Rollins thinks this should be mandatory curriculum film watching nationally

Power move. He was such a Chad.

Source on when he said that? Id like to hear his thoughts on it

I'm torn on Apocalypse Now. I do think that the Kurtz payoff falls short and the idea of Willard emerging unscathed as some new alpha male is just silly. Why do all these Cambodians worship a crazy commando who doesn't speak their language? And am I nuts or did Coppola change the ending (again) by having Willard leave the camp without incident?

his reading of The Hollow Men still happens to be my favorite rendition

made sense since the characters probably just sitting around eating mangos all day at that point

>getting obese from eating fruit

It's like 94% water

Rollin's says it on Hot One's chicken eating show

here you go good sir

And six percent sugar. And fruits are pretty big.

I think you underestimate Marlon’s mango eating abilities. And I just mean he’s eating like a jungle king (that was an old cliche in like cartoons, the tribe’s king being a huge fat guy), not doing anything but bossing people around, and is depressed and wants to die.

why is there a fucking thread daily about this movie? it's the same guy?

Yes. It's me. Go back to your capeshit thread you retard zoomer.

Brando can not even try and still make 10/10 kino

Most threads on this board are literal who actresses pic asking whats next for her.
This place sucks

Except the third act with Marlon Brando is literally the best part of the movie outside of the bridge scene.

fuck brando, hopper saved those last 45 minutes from being shit

well, i found him chilling - truly depicting madness. one of his best performances

>Show up to the Cambodian jungle for Coppola movie
>you’re supposed to play a former green beret, adapting into film one of the most chilling and mysterious villains in world literature
>you’re fucking obese
>you didn’t read the source material
>you didn’t read the script
>refuse to learn your lines
>director has to film you in dark shadow because you’re a fucking fatass
>”I’m just gonna improvise lmao”
>it’s fucking incredible
>it’s a masterpiece of film
>best scenes in the movie
>you show up a slew of actors who go on to be some of the greatest of their generation

There has never been an actor more based than Brando

i really dont get this, the shit he was saying meant nothing. literally anyone could do it

Based retard

Coppola thought Brando was the shit (and he was, at one point) and wanted an actor of that caliber in his movie to elevate it.

based pleb

should I watch this tonight? I'm 6'3.

Hopper was easily the worst part of the movie. Brando hated the dude as well.

weird so many of you had an issue with brando being a fat bastard. i didn't even notice, he just looked "big," not like a lardass. it helped that at least 70% of his body was obfuscated by shadows in all scenes. i'll pay more attention next time lol

I re-watched it knowing this claim, it seemed fitting

Haha, I just read it again yesterday. Read it every few years. Greatest book of the last fifty years.

Yes, well, FFC had to shoot it that way after he promised to get in shape and lose 50 lbs for the role only to show up for filming even fatter than when he signed. He was supposed to be incredibly athletic.

He ruins anything he touches. He never gave the first shit. I hate him so much. He ruined island of dr moreau for all time and I'll never forgive him.

>first two hours is vietnam war kino
Correct
>last 45 minutes is boring as fuck because marlon brando isnt even trying
Wrong. It is a look at a powerful man who has succumbed to madness, getting to see his cult of peraonality and brief glimpses of his own philisophy. It is just as, if not more, kino than the rest of the film. Marlon barely tried and yet he nailed Kurtz. Stop being such a pleb. The movie practically already is perfect.
Also did you see the Final Cut last week? It was great. Seeing it in 4K and IMAX was a joy.
