Hearts of Darkness

After watching this you figure out how Apocalypse Now turned into such a crazy and amazing movie. You really get to see how insane everyone became during the making of the movie. Some had breakdowns and heart attacks, others got into speed and many other things. According to Copola he was making a terrible movie that would never turn out, but he kept making it. During the filing they filmed something like 240 hours and that was condensed into 2 hours and 30 min. You wonder how it is possible to cut out that much and still make an amazing film. The conditions they filmed in were almost very similar to Nam, and it drove them all crazy just like Nam. One thing that puzzled me was that when they were filming the dinner scene with the French Copola stopped it and said that they should all forget they ever filmed that because he disliked it so much. But for some reason this footage was included in the redux version which made no sense to me because it was not a good scene and I can see why Copola disliked it.
