Vietnam scenes shot in Baler and Pagsanjan which is located in the Philippines..
I can't seem to understand why would they shot a scene in the Philippines and make it come out as if it was in Vietnam.. why not shot a real scene in Vietnam.? Why, because they are afraid of the Vietcongs..hell they should be more afraid by the Philippine Guirellas.
@jaynin021 Moron. You should read the top comments before spouting your mouth off. As wwuburg19 said, this is a modern (In the late 70's) retelling of "heart of darkness", using the current world situation of the time. Which was the Vietnam war. DUMB
@jaynin021 Maybe because we had just fought a war with North Vietnam, which we lost. Maybe because we didn't recognize the Socialist Republic of Vietnam as a country until 1995. Maybe because the United States wouldn't allow US Citizens into Vietnam.
Janet. Enkelvoud. Janetten in veelvoud. Waarom dan wel zou 'janneten'.? Kan al niet mogelijk zijn (JAN-NETEN), JAN-ETEN is min of meer het zelfde; dus; JANNETEN is het meervoud van JANET. Neen, ik draag geen rok, alleen maar een short. 'janetten' of 'janeten'? (..jan-eten.. ) Ergo; 'Janetten' is het ENIGE veelvoud voor 'janet'. ''t Is ook maar in Engeland dat de koning een rok draagt. Je reinste onzin zouden ze in Holland zeggen. GOD SAVES THE QUEEN, GOD etc
I've read a lot of disparaging comments about APOCALYPSE NOW because it's not factual. Short of a documentary, no film is factual... it's an interpretation of actions, thoughts, and feelings through a Director's prism. APOCALYPSE NOW isn't as realistic a "Vietnam War" as PLATOON, but in some ways it's more real. There was a certain insanity in Vietnam that APOCALYPSE NOW captures. Is it over-the-top? Yes. Is it horrible? Yes. It both sickens and entices -- attracts and repels.
This is an anti war film...but everytime I watch it, it motivates me to participate in war! God damn you hollywood! You have brain washed me into a deep desire to conduct war. I lust after it. I have always craved the glory of war! Deep down, I feel a strong love for mankind...yet at the same time I want to destroy it. Thank you sir! Fuck you and I love you!
HI EVERYONE, I’M A 17 YEAR OLD AMATEUR DIRECTOR, AND IF YOU APPRECIATE WELL MADE INDEPENDENT CINEMA, THEN PLEASE, CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL, ALL MY SHORT MOVIES ARE THERE.

I First saw this film on Cinemax when i was stoned lol, The Redux version, i quite enjoyed both cuts, and my dad saw this when it first came out back in 79, he passed away a year ago today...
only christianity predicts the rise of a one world religious leader, who will have white skin and red eyes; if anyone worships him, they'll burn in hell. also, if anyone takes the chip and green electronic skin tattoo with sixes (that will be given when one stretches their hand to receive a new small grey world passport), they'll burn in hell too. also, it's important to note that if anyone will go into a ufo ship to be healed, they're in trouble. why? 'cause ufoaliens are demons.research this
@RManFlint Strange you say an epic roll was tragic because he was heavy.Maybe Brad Pitt wold have been less tragic for you.I hope you are under 30 or there is no excuse.
Fucking shit. And that killing of the buffalo too, yeah it's an actual ritual, but fucking too good to pass on putting into this torture movie hur? Fuck cunt of a film. I read all the comments and it fucking annoys me that from everything I still can't fucking point out what makes this film a "masterpiece", it's tasteless beyond belief. Maybe the fact it's a 1979 film has something to do with the narrow minded acceptance of the film's artistics or message, whatever it is, to be impressive. FUCK!
I just fucking watched the redux version of this fucking movie, and FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON it fucking made no sense random fucking scenes fucking boring ass shit FUCK THIS MOVIE FUCKKKKKKING WASTED 3 HOURS OF MY TIME. FUCKING SHIT, I'm fucking scouring the internet to find out what intellectual or philosophical point about the whole fucking movie did I miss, I must be from another universe. FUCK. I swear I'm gonna kill someone. FUCK YOU APOCALYPSE NOW. SHIT FUCK! FUCKKKKK!
you should add that this was inspired by Joseph Conrad's book Heart of Darkness, a Polish author, his real name was Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowsk check wiki :)
This movie wasn't meant to be factually correct in representing the Vietnam War, but actually followed Joseph Conrad's book The Heart of Darkness. It was meant to capture the essence of the war, not necessarily the facts. But i gotta say, I really hated watching the marathon that is the director's cut. it just never ends.
@wwuburg19....30 people agreed with you? Ya know this movie is one long trip, its like FEELING a novel, and experiancing a movie...I dont know how anyone can sit there watching the clock while this movie is playing, that'd be like watching the clock in the middle of a trip, like 'come on, when's this amazing feeling going to end already?' ..the only long scene in the redux was the scene in the french plantation and if you ask me it was one of the most important in the entire film.
@frnkvat While I would I totally agree that its length is essential to the experience, I don't really think that the french plantation scene should've been included. The scene was too much "tell" and not enough "show". It made the subtext too blatant and rid some of the ambiguity/subtlety of the message.
just wanted to say this yes a lot of people lost their cool in vietnam, and yes it was amazing but me and my grandpa both agree that the movie was over exaggerating people going insane like at the end. great movie but it had a rely disappointing ending in my opinion

@grimgrimdeath666 no, I don't think so. this movie was shot shortly after Vietnam, the Platoon was shot 11 years after the war was over, and is has Charlie freakin Sheen and Johnny Depp and all the stars... when you see them - you just see actors, not soldiers. Apocalypse was more authentic.
@grimgrimdeath666 I always thought Platoon soundtrack was a little bit cliche: Fortunate Son? White Rabbit? Yes, this is the 1960's WE GET IT. And don't let me started on the re-use of Ride of the Valkyries - I just can't stand that kind of post-modernism.
But how many of you know what two books its based on, Quiz?? Micheal Hares book Dispatchers(best war novel,ever)and the classic 'Heart of Darkness,by Conrad. yes,Im a geek. I thought the main problem filming was Dennis Hopper was an asshole,and Brando refused to be on set with him,?
But how many of you know what two books its based on, Quiz?? Micheal Hares book Dispatchers(best war novel,ever)and the classic 'Heart of Darkness,by Conrad. yes,Im a geek.
Making this movie was an Apocalypse, do you know why? Well, because Marlon Brando showed up to the set overweight, Martin Sheen had a heart attack, and extreme weather destroying several expensive sets. Also, The release date of the film was delayed several times as Coppola struggled to both come up with an ending and edit the thousands of feet of footage he had shot. But all in all, this is one of the best war movies ever, which took workmanship and patience, and Coppola handled it well. :)
I like this movie but I don´t like the conclusion... basically states that USA didn´t win the war because was not brutal enough with the enemy. I dont believe this...
The original i would rate *** and half stars,its well paced,sheen's character is more believable.The only drawback is the overly dramatic ending,though it still has power.The redux? * and a half stars.It makes sheen's character unbelievable,stealing surf boards,getting the crew laid,smoking heroin?Ridiculous.Full metal jacket and the original apocalypse now are the only nam films worth watching.Platoon and hamburger hill are melodramatic,conventional,cheesy.Hamburger hill is a little better
@TheGatorfan93 I'm sorry but I have to disagree. All of those seemingly contradictory actions by a single person ensure that what the film has to say about the human condition resonates more powerfully. It's like when Lieutenant Kilgore uses Wagner to pump up his men to kill, but then puts the injured Vietnamese child and his mother on a helicopter and orders the pilot to get them to the hospital. The contradiction of how men can show terrible brutality and true empathy is what makes the film.
@cheerlessdarkndeadly I have no problem with that scene,but look for example in the original,it cuts after ''some day this war's gonna end'',there's a strong power when it seques to sheen's ''some day this war's gonna end''.But in redux,he steals a board,is laughing and goofing off like ''one of the boys''.Its adding scenes like that lose its power to me.Because then it goes back,to his ''someday this war's going to end'',and his back to his cold indifferent self.It doesn't work!
@TheGatorfan93 Uh, yeah, it kind of does actually. Take full metal jacket for example, when he's asked why he has his helmet say "Born to Kill" and at the same time, he wears a peace pin. The reason why they had Sheen play like one of the boys in that scene was to show the duality in mankind. How he can be so cold and so on, but he also has a sense of innocence. Because in a war movie, if the main character shows only one type of emotion, its boring. Everyone has their moments.
@Kite117 But joker's character was an average joe,that was the point.He uses symbols and sarcasm as a facade to distance himself from his reality,until the unpredictibilities of war give him no choice.Williard was a cold blooded assassin,near the breaking point.Williard's character in the original version showed ''only one type of emotion'',and isn't boring at all.If anything,it makes him more interesting and mysterious.
@TheGatorfan93 Well, I dont know about you, but mysterious seems to me to be over done and just boring. It's like the Escape From movies, like Escape from New York and L.A. both are terrible movies dont get me wrong, but that's all Kurt Russell's character was. A Hard ass that never showed compassion, but just worked for himself. In any case, though, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket are both great movies, and are in my top favorites, so there really is no point in arguing haha
@Kite117 It wasn't overdone in the original version of apocalypse now.His character,was more IN character.The added scenes in redux,not only make williard look less believable,but the extra scenes destroy tension.Its as if coppola allowed cimino to edit his film!
first time i saw this it was exciting i love this movie my favorite line is i dont know where were going but one look at you and i know its gonna be hot
Kramer vs. Kramer may have won but Apocalypse Now is forever included in the masterpiece cause it take a generation to reflect on perfection that is Francis Ford Coppola's work. Goddam genius.
@JohnACorp782 agreed, i hope they don't but IF they do, it better be fuckin Charlie in that shit, i bet he is the only person who could even come close to pulling it off.
@Espeelover not really, old movies was glorefying wars and the heroes allways saving the day, this was the first movie ever to show the horrors of war allong with full metal jacket, they were bold and dared to show the ugly side of war.
@brutus4693 It's a fantastic film. I read Heart of Darkness in my Comtemporary Literature class and watched the film. It really captures the essence of Conrad's work. @lumpyfishful The song is "The End" by the Doors.
"Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now, the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business."
@TheAccidentprone are you kidding? You don't know the first song that plays at the very begining? Look it up on Wikipedia next time. Inexcusable not knowing the first song was called "The End" by The Doors.
my people.....for all the reluctant warriors that didn't wanna go....but went the fuck anyway, anywhere, anyhow.....all gave some.....SOME GAVE ALL......
@packetcreeper amen! the reason people don't like it in my view is because they think it's supposed to be a war film in the style of Patton or Saving Private Ryant, this is a psychological film
@rustlerboi1052 out of the two of them, emilio estevez looks alot more like their dad than charlie does... just saying.... and yes, they are brothers.
Saving Private Ryan may have been good, but there was a reason Shakespeare in love won. Private Ryan had the greatest effects ever and the most craziest intro ever! But it lacked a middle that was slow and Tom Hank really just played Tom Hanks. Apocalypse Now was breath taking and Martin Sheen had a heart attack for a reason filming this at 35. This movie is unbelievable master piece by Coppola which people doubted him to follow up on the Godfathers.
@TofuPenguin1 Apocalypse Now was better than Saving Private Ryan, but Saving Private Ryan deserved best picture also, the OSCARS LOVE SENTIMENTAL FILMS OVER MODERN CLASSICS
@SuperHeroMania well, rocky was made the same year as taxi driver, so i beleive rocky did deserve to win best picture, and goodfellas was made the same year as dances with wolves which was an awesome epic, but i do agree with the rest of the films, the oscars did screw them.
@SuperHeroMania Who cares about the oscars? They asked one member of the academy why the Passion Of The Christ was snubbed and he said he never saw it. That movie was nothing short of brilliant and this politically correct dipshit never bothered to see it. Oscar is right up there with Nobel Peace prize. Meaningless.
@SuperHeroMania i have to disagree with you about this movie being better than Saving Private Ryan. This movie is good but is missing logic to it giving it a fairy tale sense with bigger than life characters. Saving Private Ryan expresses everyday people put in real world situations and makes it better. However i do feel this is a great movie and all the movies you listed are fantastic and deserve kudos.
@sckoutlaw Though you were spot on when comparing the two, but that does not exactly make Saving Private Ryan better. It makes it more relating and realistic, but it doesn't have the mystic nature, unpredictably cruel characters, and the sense of impending insanity that made Apocalypse Now a classic film that stands alone from most other anti war films. Saving Private Ryan is very close behind on my list though, Tom Hanks performance is unmatched with anybody else playing a soldier in war
@SuperHeroMania Yea true, and Apocalypse Now does gives off a very "Hollywood" approach to the film, which makes it an excellent classic, while Saving Private Ryan drives for a sense of realism. Now that i think about it, they are two different styles that probably shouldn't be compared.
@TofuPenguin1 And funny part is that all these doubters people, after all hit and up 'Godfather' got, they were like: "I always said this scenario has been a real boon!" or "I told ya!" and success is all their merit...)))
"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" I hope that quote is going to be my senior quote XD

The reason why they had Sheen play like one of the boys in that scene was to show the duality in mankind. How he can be so cold and so on, but he also has a sense of innocence. Because in a war movie, if the main character shows only one type of emotion, its boring. Everyone has their moments.

@Kite117 But joker's character was an average joe,that was the point.He uses symbols and sarcasm as a facade to distance himself from his reality,until the unpredictibilities of war give him no choice.Williard was a cold blooded assassin,near the breaking point.Williard's character in the original version showed ''only one type of emotion'',and isn't boring at all.If anything,it makes him more interesting and mysterious.
TheGatorfan93 8 months ago
@TheGatorfan93 Well, I dont know about you, but mysterious seems to me to be over done and just boring. It's like the Escape From movies, like Escape from New York and L.A. both are terrible movies dont get me wrong, but that's all Kurt Russell's character was. A Hard ass that never showed compassion, but just worked for himself. In any case, though, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket are both great movies, and are in my top favorites, so there really is no point in arguing haha

@Kite117 It wasn't overdone in the original version of apocalypse now.His character,was more IN character.The added scenes in redux,not only make williard look less believable,but the extra scenes destroy tension.Its as if coppola allowed cimino to edit his film!

Kramer vs. Kramer may have won but Apocalypse Now is forever included in the masterpiece cause it take a generation to reflect on perfection that is Francis Ford Coppola's work. Goddam genius.

Saving Private Ryan may have been good, but there was a reason Shakespeare in love won. Private Ryan had the greatest effects ever and the most craziest intro ever! But it lacked a middle that was slow and Tom Hank really just played Tom Hanks. Apocalypse Now was breath taking and Martin Sheen had a heart attack for a reason filming this at 35. This movie is unbelievable master piece by Coppola which people doubted him to follow up on the Godfathers.
TofuPenguin1 1 year ago 56
@TofuPenguin1 Saving Private Ryan was incredible.
I put Saving Private Ryan and Platoon as a tie for second best war flicks.
Tom Hanks was incredible in Saving Private Ryan.
It wasn't slow at all in the middle. They needed to slow it down in the middle for the audience to get to knwo the characters.
Apocalypse Now Was the best by far. Look at Harrison Ford he looks like a baby.

@SuperHeroMania Who cares about the oscars? They asked one member of the academy why the Passion Of The Christ was snubbed and he said he never saw it. That movie was nothing short of brilliant and this politically correct dipshit never bothered to see it. Oscar is right up there with Nobel Peace prize. Meaningless.

@SuperHeroMania i have to disagree with you about this movie being better than Saving Private Ryan. This movie is good but is missing logic to it giving it a fairy tale sense with bigger than life characters. Saving Private Ryan expresses everyday people put in real world situations and makes it better. However i do feel this is a great movie and all the movies you listed are fantastic and deserve kudos.
sckoutlaw 4 months ago
@sckoutlaw Though you were spot on when comparing the two, but that does not exactly make Saving Private Ryan better. It makes it more relating and realistic, but it doesn't have the mystic nature, unpredictably cruel characters, and the sense of impending insanity that made Apocalypse Now a classic film that stands alone from most other anti war films. Saving Private Ryan is very close behind on my list though, Tom Hanks performance is unmatched with anybody else playing a soldier in war
SuperHeroMania 4 months ago
@SuperHeroMania Yea true, and Apocalypse Now does gives off a very "Hollywood" approach to the film, which makes it an excellent classic, while Saving Private Ryan drives for a sense of realism. Now that i think about it, they are two different styles that probably shouldn't be compared.
