Apocalypse Now (1979) is the leading producer / visually beautiful film director Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece of avant-garde with surrealistic and symbolic sequence describing the confusion, violence, fear, and nightmarish madness of war Vietnam. Coppola had already become a noted producer / director, following its two profitable and critically acclaimed films The Godfather (1972 and 1974) - The epic story of a mafia-style patriarch and his successor. This provocative film did for the Vietnam War genre what The Godfather did for the gangster film.
After waiting three to four years for the notorious film (which has other films winning the Vietnam War to the forefront of the previous year - The Deer Hunter (1978) and Coming Home (1978)), the film was budgeted at $ 12 - 13 million of something an extravagant, indulgent epic in the making that has cost nearly $ 31 million - with much of the film shot on location in the Philippines. Delays and high-profile disasters in the making strenuous (designed for approximately 17 weeks, but found a lasting approximately 34 weeks), as well as extramarital affairs, a great director and suicide, drug and other forms of madness, were mainly due to a typhoon rain, (named Olga) and a star-debilitating, a near-fatal heart attack for the star Martin Sheen.
