In this episode:
How to control your algorithm, how to enhance the cut by not making the obvious choice and how to keep one small, exciting and impactful scene from affecting the overall story arc.
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)







![They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)
They Shall Not Grow Old is a 2018 documentary film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentary_film) directed and produced by Peter Jackson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jackson) . The film was created using original footage of World War I (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I) from the Imperial War Museum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_War_Museum) s archives, most of it previously unseen, alongside audio from BBC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC) and IWM interviews of British (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_people) servicemen who fought in the conflict. Most of the footage has been colourised (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_colorization) and transformed with modern production techniques, with the addition of sound effects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_effect) and voice acting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_acting) to be more evocative and feel closer to the soldiers actual experiences.
It is Jacksons first documentary as director, although he directed the mockumentary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mockumentary) Forgotten Silver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_Silver) in 1995 and produced the West Memphis Three (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three) documentary West of Memphis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_of_Memphis) in 2012. Jackson, whose grandfather (to whom the film is dedicated) fought in the war, intended for the film to be an immersive experience of what it was like to be a soldier rather than a story or a recount of events. The crew reviewed 600 hours of interviews from 200 veterans and 100 hours of original film footage to make the film. The title was inspired by the line They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old from the 1914 poem For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Binyon) , famous for being used in the Ode of Remembrance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode_of_Remembrance) .
They Shall Not Grow Old premiered simultaneously at the BFI London Film Festival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFI_London_Film_Festival) and in selected theaters in the UK on 16 October 2018, before airing on BBC Two (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Two) on 11 November 2018 (the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_of_11_November_1918) ); it received a limited US release on 17 December. Following its box office success, the film received a wide theatrical release in February 2019.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Shall_Not_Grow_Old#cite_note-VarietyWideRelease-2) It was acclaimed by critics for its restoration work, immersive atmosphere and portrayal of war, and earned a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAFTA_Award_for_Best_Documentary) .
