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.
Follow Ups:
I prefer the longer cut released a couple of years ago. Though 53 minutes longer, it actually tightens up the narrative flow.And yes, "Hearts of Darkness" by Coppola's wife is an extraordinary documentary film. Given all that happened, it is amazing that A/N got made at all, much less turning out to be a masterpiece.
