Reaction About Movie Nars

1965 Apocalypse Now. Francis Ford Coppola. 1979

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Based on the novel by Joseph Conrad called The Heart of Darkness , although here the scenario is at war in Vietnam, this film is a basic reference in the history of cinema.
Everyone has seen this movie. No one unfamiliar with the Ride of the Valkyries and thanks to the cargo helicopter to begin shortly. No one ever has not recited the phrase I love the smell of napalm in the morning . And since Marlon Brando traumatic consummated the interpretation of history, everyone intuits what is the horror ...

And to see it uncensored (Redux ) is to see other 50 minutes of story in which they appear drugs, sex and humans. While the dinner scene with the French settlers is a terrible hodgepodge that adds nothing, the scene at the camp with playmates is precious so this gives American time.

As talk of how well it is made or relate the plot is stupid, just because everyone has seen (and no, it enters Filmaffinity or IMDB).
For this reason, tell others details curiosity plan.

First actor who thought Coppola was Steve McQueen. Once heavily involved in the pre-production, the person who would embody the Captain Willard was ... Harvey Keitel ! Yes, you read that right. Occurred two weeks before shooting began, Coppola replaced him with Martin Sheen .
If this is the movie of the impossible, which means to know:

• The shooting of the film lasted for 238 days, a typhoon destroyed the sets and filming had to be paralyzed.
• The March 1, 1977 Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack that kept him out film until April 19, 1977, during which time shots were filmed scenes with substitutes and requerín not the presence of the actor.
• The first scene that was shot was one in a helipcótero Willard takes the boat to the river back.
• The helipcóteros belonged to the Philippine Army who came to stop work to fight the communist guerilla.
• The final election generated many questions and controversies during filming once released, Coppola returned to the source that inspired the script: 'The Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad to write.
• It premiered on August 19, 1979.

also know that the screenplay of Apocalypse Now was originally thought to be directed by George Lucas , which was sponsored by John Milius . It was early 70s and was busy Coppola succeeding with The sponsor. The idea of \u200b\u200bLucas was making a documentary about Vietnam in situ. What happened was that in that situation, the war ended and Lucas lost his mind. In 1976 Lucas was already deep in Star Wars and left Coppola to make the film he wanted on the work of Conrad .

More stuff. Coppola told Al Pacino if he wanted to be Willard, and was told he was not willing to be stuck in a swamp five months. In the end, the shooting lasted 16 months! After spending zillions
months editing the film, Coppola was not happy with some phrases Sheen, and as the voice of the latter was greatly changed by then, used his brother (Joe Estevez ) to repeat a few paragraphs.
The ox that tear at the end, is real.
Sam Bottoms (Lance B. Johnson in the movie is the surfer ) is not the drugged puestísimo but it was LSD, speed and marijuana.
No opening credits. Not even see the title of the film.
Coppola attempted suicide several times throughout the development of pre-post-production.
If you look (that did not know but true) Dennis Hopper and Robert Duvall , the film disappear forever in the same position, squatting.
