    /* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
    Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Apocalypse now.
    -
    Often labeled as one of the best movies of all time I've been waiting to breakdown this movie for a while now but in all honesty I didn't fully feel like I was up to the task.
    However after pouring through all the making of material, every version of the film and numerous interviews I finally feel as ready as I'll ever be to tackle this behemoth.
    the horror the horror
    The views...the views...it was an onslaught and I had to dig deep into my own heart of darkness in order to unearth all the hidden layers within this movie.
    Apocalypse now was one of those movies that made America really hold a mirror up to itself and question all the things that went on during the conflict. It of course went onto inspire several films that followed it with this really paving the way for the Vietnam war epics that were to come. Highly influential it had martin sheen's willard narrating and delving deeper into what i've always deemed as Dante's inferno whilst he questioned the sanity and insanity of war.
    This to me is about a man travelling through the circles of hell on an inward journey which showed humanity returning to a primal state. That is the apocalypse...the downfall of civilisation which made us as viewers question the toll that war can have on ones soul.
    Themes like this would later be picked up and inspired into films like Platoon which even took Martin's son Charlie and had him narrating over it too.
    If youve seen Hot Shots Part Deux the pair literally have two bits of narration overriding the other.

    As a retired US soldier, this movie is an important movie that helped shape the attitudes of many current soldiers. Unfortunately, way too many don’t understand the message and instead take away a meaning of be more resilient than the opponent. It’s heartbreaking. Great breakdown. You’re a master at your craft. Well done. I told you I’d watch it tonight. 👍

  • @TRaddcliff

    To advertisers on RUclips…I will not purchase what you advertise. You’re ads achieve the opposite of what you want.

  • @user-oj2jw4lb7q

    They shot Brando in dark and shadow, not for creative reasons, but for the fact that he showed up for the shoot weighing 400 lbs.

    I really love that you snuck in Tropic Thunder in the array of 4 epic Vietnam War movies that followed this.

  • @jeffcarlin5866

    Coppola's cameo as a documentary filmmaker is one of the most important scenes or moments in understanding the film.

  • @carpemkarzi

    I was 19 when this movie came out and seeing it at that age and then again in my 40’s and recently in my 60’s and it hits different each time. That is the mark of a true classic

  • @wjohnson1110

    I think the documentary series 'The World at War' is outstanding, pulls no punches and shows the true horrors of war. About WWII and narrated by Laurence Olivier, it should be a compulsory watch for anyone who thinks war is a good thing.

    My older brother is a Vietnam veteran, was a brown water sailor in the Army. He will rarely watch this movie, but he said it is fairly accurate in mood and spirit

  • @travisa7669

    During my senior year in high school over 30 years ago, my English teacher had us read HEART OF DARKNESS and then we watched APOCALYPSE NOW and then we watched my copy of HEARTS OF DARKNESS to get a better understanding of the film. I then wrote a comparative essay on the film and its influences from Conrad's novella. Later on, in college, I took a film studies course and wrote another paper on APOCALYPSE NOW, comparing it to the tale of Odysseus and his journey of 10 years. I was happy to see the REDUX version in 2001 during a film festival held at Dartmouth College. Amazing movie, despite the fact that I consider it a war movie mixed with elements of noir, etc. Once again, great video!

    Brando's thoughts on Burt Reynolds is the absolute epitome of projection

  • @edaniels240

    "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!" will always be one of the most iconic lines ever said

  • @Thunderflare99

    The stories behind iconic films are almost as fascinating as the movie itself.

    The joke from Hot Shots Part Deux is the funniest joke in any movie.

  • @rjmcclure8019

    Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Paul for all the work it took to make these old-school breakdowns

  • @kylecarter1599

    This breakdown made me sit down and watch this movie in full for the first time, and coming out of it, I had to come back and watch your breakdown again

  • @stealthhumor

    I don't know why, but the scene at the bridge where a soldier loads an M79 and fires into the jungle gets me. Willard asks the soldier if he knows who is in charge. The guy looks at Willard and says, "Yeah," and walks away. Weird.

  • @roberteslan4278

    Incredible research and review. This is real journalism. Well done, mate.

  • @brandonmoore2712

    Not only are all of these breakdowns perfectly crafted and narrated, but it’s also great how you guys always give credit to the people that you pulled analysis and inspiration from. Fantastic as always, Heavy Spoilers!
