Plot.
One of a cluster of late-1970s films about the Vietnam War, Francis Ford Coppola's
Apocalypse Now adapts the Joseph Conrad novella Heart of Darkness to depict the war
as a descent into primal madness. Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen), already on the edge,
is assigned to find and deal with AWOL Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando), rumoured to have
set himself up in the Cambodian jungle as a local, lethal godhead. Along the way
Willard encounters napalm and Wagner fan Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall), draftees who
prefer to surf and do drugs, a USO Playboy Bunny show turned into a riot by the
raucous soldiers, and a jumpy photographer (Dennis Hopper) telling wild, reverent
tales about Kurtz. By the time Willard sees the heads mounted on stakes near Kurtz's
compound, he knows Kurtz has gone over the deep end, but it is uncertain whether
Willard himself now agrees with Kurtz's insane dictum to "Drop the Bomb. Exterminate
them all." Coppola himself was not certain either, and he tried several different
endings between the film's early rough-cut screenings for the press, the Palme
d'Or-winning work-in-progress shown at Cannes, and the final 35 mm U.S. release
(also the ending on the video cassette). The chaotic production also experienced
shut-downs when a typhoon destroyed the set and star Sheen suffered a heart attack
the budget ballooned and Coppola covered the overages himself. These production
headaches, which Coppola characterised as being like the Vietnam War itself, have
been superbly captured in the documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers
Apocalypse. Despite the studio's fears and mixed reviews of the film's ending,
Apocalypse Now became a substantial hit and was nominated for eight Academy Awards,
including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Duvall's psychotic
Kilgore, and Best Screenplay. It won Oscars for sound and for Vittorio Storaro's
cinematography. This hallucinatory, Wagnerian project has produced admirers and
detractors of equal ardor; it resembles no other film ever made, and its nightmarish
aura and polarized reception aptly reflect the tensions and confusions of the
Vietnam era.
