  1. The brilliance of this movie is in how it portrays one version of history. The trick is in how to separate the truth from the propaganda and the reality from the fantasy.

    It was certainly a brutal time in history but don’t kid yourself, the real horror is that those forces that motivated people to drag us into that terrible conflict still exist in our world today.

    Unfortunately its human nature and the propaganda battle is ongoing.

    I can’t tell you what is real and true but what I can say is that before you buy into anyone’s particular bullshit and back their cause, ask yourself the question. What do they have to gain and what is their ultimate end game?

  2. The general in the beginning was played by the same actor who played Senator Geary in Godfather Part Two. Did you recognize the young Harrison Ford? The point of the music during the helicopter attack is psychological warfare. The Roach will have absolutely no problem readjusting to civilian life. Did you notice the circus music at the end of the bridge scene? The whole thing was a circus. With no ringmaster.

  3. I remember the Vietnan war well. You had two alternatives if you were drafted, Vietnam or prison.They had a draft lottery for the draft. My number was never drawn. One lottery I was Lucky at. Still have my old draft card😂

  4. "Apocalypse Now" is a rich and powerful dream with multiple interpretations. One meaning; it's a telling of how the Vietnam war was the catalyst for the political maturation of the baby boomers. It both begins and ends with the Doors song "The End", which contains material from Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces", and it's clearly about the slaying of a warped father figure, representing the rejection of the child's picture of spotless authority in favor of a deeper, more adult understanding of power and the evil in all of us.

  5. These men weren't sent by their parents into war, they were draft. The war in Vietnam was particularly ugly. War crimes happened all the time. You should read about the My Lai massacre. It was the only war crime that ended up in the news but there was many more. Napalm is very nasty. It's jellied gasoline, when it lands on you, even just a splash, it keeps burning. People would run while their limbs burned. It was awful. That wasn't a concert by the way. They were displaying Playboy centerfolds, and the guys went crazy. Playboy was the "Men's magazine" of the day. One of the themes of the movie is how oblivious the Americans were to any culture other than their own. The Vietnamese themselves had no value to the Americans. Very few Americans would learn about the culture of the people there, let alone respect it.

  6. It really happened: The animal (a water buffalo, or carabao) was killed – but not for the film. The tribe in the film was a real indigenous tribe that lived in the area, and they had already decided to slaughter it. Coppola merely decided to film the event.

  7. this was the extended version with a lot of scenes added not in the original theatrical release. sometimes adding these scenes to movies works but in this case it doesn't. the original release was already too long. that french segment just really dragged the movie down. the segment finding the uso dancing girls wasn't in the original. the original release was already about 2 hours and 45 minutes long but is much tighter, BETTER! thanks for the video.

  8. Those “poor villagers”were Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnamese army soldiers. That’s why they were flying the flag of North Vietnam. That’s why they were being attacked. They were the enemy.

  9. I was obsessed with this movie as a teenager. Based on the book "Heart of darkness" which based on his real experiences in the Congo. From what I have heard many of the cast members had breakdowns making this movie.. For example when Martin Sheen punches the mirror the blood is real.

  10. This version of the film is somewhat interesting, but I think the 70mm edit is far superior, one of my all-time favorites. Redux has just too much unnecessary junk. Can't make it through this reaction.

  11. Spasiba, Emma, you are really uploading some truly great content, a virtual visual
    feast for us all to watch, I wonder what velikiy treat awaits us next; As regards this Film, their is
    a great sound track, with the Doors at the start as they napalm the forest; The Film a follows Soldier sent
    on a mission deep into the jungle as the brutality of war swirls around him; Captain Willard is tasked with locating
    and killing a Colonel Kurtz, both men badly damaged by the conflict; The grim reality of the horror of war and it's
    subsequent effect is well made, and makes this a great anti-war Picture, but a tough watch;

    Emma herself delivers a measured/heart-rending/poignant and iskreniy reaction, subtly mixing in some
    much needed charm and grace; And a bonus for Emma is that Harrison Ford is briefly on Screen;
    Emma, if you want a polite suggestion for another anti-war Film, could I mention a Film made in 1930,
    'All Quit on the Western Front'; Although pretty old I think it's still pretty powerful; Sorry I seem to keep
    making suggestions, must stop that. 🦅👏🙏🙏👍❤🎶🎵🎶🎧🎙🍵💐🍁🍁🦅.

  12. On the beach Captain Kilgore says “Charlie don’t surf.” Later the cook reads a newspaper article about Charles Manson. There were T-shirts made with Manson’s face and the line “Charlie don’t surf.” I’m not sure if the those T-shirts are still around.

  13. Even today, most americans are completely unaware of the utter atrocity US forces committed in Vietnam, basically declaring the whole of south vietnam – the bit that was supposed to be friendly to the USA – a free fire zone, which meant anyone in the area could and would be attacked. Villagers were deported to ‘safe’ villages, but most left the ‘ safe’ villages (which weren’t safe anyway) and then found themselves under attack by US forces who killed them willy nilly then reported their bodies as VC – vietcong insurgents. The infamous ‘body count’ of Vietnam. Despite an estimated 2 million civilian deaths (and 1 million vietcong and NVA deaths) americans who fought there have a remarkably limited recollection of attacking civilians.

    The only comparison is the utter atrocity thats happening today in Gaza, the activities of the SS and special units in eastern europe during ww2, and the atrocities in the Belgian Congo, which sparked the very first international human rights investigation in 1904.

    Thats why the story is based on Heart of Darkness – which was instrumental in publicising the atrocities committed against the population of Belgian Congo when King Leopold ‘owned’ Belgian Congo as a private company, which led to the Casement Report on Belgian Congo.

    This is the most honest depiction of what happened in Vietnam, but many people think its exaggerated for dramatic effect. Its not. Many of the scenes are based on the personal experiences of the script co-writer, Michael Herr, who also wrote a memoir of his experiences in the Vietnam war called Dispatches. Dispatches – at Herr’s insistence – is regarded as a novel, because Herr wrote it in a blur of drugs and alcohol during his post-vietnam mental breakdown. But the basics of the events Herr recorded are true. Many of them appear in this movie.

    Full Metal Jacket was also co-written by Michael Herr and is a mish-mash of scenes from Dispatches that werent used in Apocalypse Now.

  14. The sacrifice of the buffalo was not simulated; it was a real event. Coppola’s crew filmed an actual ritual sacrifice performed by the Ifugao people, a native tribe in the Philippines where parts of the movie were filmed. The decision to use the real sacrifice added to the film's controversy, especially among animal rights groups.

  15. This is actually a modernized retelling of Joseph Conrad's classic novella 'Heart of Darkness' that combines sequences of Homer's 'The Odyssey' in a few key scenes :

    Kilgore, the surfer, is the Cyclops
    The bridge that gets destroyed every night and rebuilt for the generals to say the road is open is Hades; with the bridge being a Sisyphusian task of punishment the troops beg to escape
    The French plantation owners with their French cuisine, cognac, and opium are the Lotus Eaters that try to keep them from leaving

  16. You've seen Marlon Brando as the Godfather Vito Corleone and here as the crazy Colonel Kurtz, so I now strongly encourage you to watch Brando, as a young vigorous and virile man named Stanley Kowalski, in "A Streetcar Named Desire", the role that thrust Brando into Hollywood fame.

  17. AmeriKa's war ON Vietnam was a genocide of 2-3 million southeast Asians in at least 4 nations, N&SVeitam, Laos, Cambodia, & in various less extreme ways, Thailand…
    I was a teen&young adult during this time, and we protested strenously on the streets&politics. Shame on us for continuing the acts of genocide in places like Iraq, and the funding of same in places like Gaza/Lebanon.
    Unfortunately, Emma, we haven't learned a single real lesson from the fiasco depicted in this classic antiwar film!
