SCENE: https://youtu.be/Nf8RY88NGkE
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_film) war film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_film) about the Vietnam War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War) , directed, produced and co-written by Francis Ford Coppola (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Ford_Coppola) . It stars Marlon Brando (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlon_Brando) , Robert Duvall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Duvall) , Martin Sheen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Sheen) , Frederic Forrest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Forrest) , Albert Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hall_(actor)) , Sam Bottoms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Bottoms) , Laurence Fishburne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Fishburne) and Dennis Hopper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Hopper) . Harrison Ford (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ford) also makes an appearance in a small role. The screenplay, co-written by Coppola and John Milius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milius) and narration written by Michael Herr (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Herr) , was loosely based on the 1899 novella Heart of Darkness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness) by Joseph Conrad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad) . The setting was changed from late 19th-century Congo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Free_State) to the Vietnam War (1969–70). The film follows a river journey from South Vietnam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Vietnam) into Cambodia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia) undertaken by Captain Benjamin L. Willard (a character based on Conrads Marlow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Marlow) and played by Sheen), who is on a secret mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Brando, with the character being based on Conrads Mr. Kurtz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtz_(Heart_of_Darkness)) ), a renegade Army Special Forces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Special_Forces) officer accused of murder and who is presumed insane.
Milius became interested in developing Heart of Darkness into a Vietnam War film. Coppola expressed interest and eventually decided to take on the project, with the filmmaker taking influence from Werner Herzog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Herzog) s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aguirre,_the_Wrath_of_God) (1972).[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now#cite_note-4) Initially set to be a five-month shoot, the film became noted for the problems encountered while making it for over a year, as chronicled in the documentary Apocalypse Now (1979)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_HNNH4iSpU0/mqdefault.jpg)
