Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now is close to masterpiece territory except for Brando's scenes. You can see that Copolla ran out of script for closing the story and counted on Brando to improvise something. Brando showed up 100 pounds heavier than anyone thought he would and the Phillipine climate taxed him badly. Coppola was hoping for magic to happen that never did. Ass dragging, Brando phoned it in.

The movie is excellent up 'til then. A classic war film, maybe the best ever made.

The documentary about the making of AN is really good. The creation of that movie was a nightmare and lots of that angst shows up on the screen to good effect.
