I had no idea this even existed until they kept mentioning it on Community. Wow. The real title is "Hearts of Darkness".

@KlumzyThePunk I am fan of community and Parks and recreation but since Apocolypse now aired the same year I was born (actually the year before) I wouldn't necessarily know of it.

I have A. Now on hold at my local library. hopefully will be in less than a week from now. Will AP Documentary help explain why this clip happened? I saw a little bit of a really old interview online of MS talking about this clip and it said that he realized (not exact words just how I remembered it) he had become this characater too much or something. Did FFC (director) basically just egg MS on to get drunk for the "effect" and then the alcohol too over past MS's control?

[AnneLiesveld]

Can anyone tell me where to find the movie/documentary. I want to watch it as a whole before I watch this movie or after it maybe as I found this clip when I was searching about MS without really meaning too and now I am curious about this movie. (never watched it before) had no clue it existed before a few years ago as I was born the year after it got nominated for an award as a movie and have more awareness of CS and Emilio than their "old man" :)

@KlumzyThePunk I guess I just meant Klumzy that I had never heard of it enough to be a fan of it. Definitely am shook up by watching MS in this clip. :( YUCKO! Hard to watch him in such definite agony and heartbreaking pain! (both physically and knowing what he talks about his emotional health was like online in interviews about this time.

@AnneLiesveld I was born in 93 and this is one my favorite movies ever. It doesn't matter what era your born into, you can still like something from whatever era.

[AnneLiesveld]

@KlumzyThePunk I probably could be a fan of AN but i was born in the wrong era. Is this community you speak of the show starring a bunch of community college students etc?

[AnneLiesveld]

@ehcmier I have a really wierd question but since I am alot younger than when this movie came (actually not alot but just enough born a few years after it came out) Was Martin Sheen required to be drunk for this movie or was he just having such a hard time with not being drunk that he chose to be? (if that makes sense) It seems to me like talked about needing to get out of control to get some stuff figured out but it seems like FFC (director) allowed it too.. Maybe I am making no sense?
