This is without a doubt one of the most powerful movie scenes ever filmed. The contrast of the hubris of the Captain (?) and the Ride of the Valkyries juxtaposed against the confused and scared faces of the average troops - black and white - and then serving as the soundtrack of the horrific strafing of the village in high powered Hueys says everything about the horror of war as video game.

racist. Shut up.

The two best shots of the scene are the ones where you see the Little Bird almost drifting between the flock of Huey gunships (1:58), and the other is the shot of the fast approaching village from behind the chopper pilots (2:12). Superb camerawork. Sound wise, the ominous thudding of the rotor blades as the unseen gunships approach the village adds to the atmosphere and tension of the upcoming battle. Adding Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries as the score for the scene was also a stroke of genius, especially seeing as it's actually a part of the scene rather than being played over it. Again, superb film making, only equalled when Black Hawk Down was released decades later.

@Joni_Tarvainen

Жыл бұрын

Precisely, this is one of those scenes what we studied in university to understand the intent of every aspect of every shot in a scene storytelling wise. This is THE scene why we understand who Kilgore is with only 11 minutes of screen time, which is impressive as hell. Pretty rare to see something like that nowadays. In my opinion the best cut is at shots 1:15 - 1:22 and 1:22 - 1:45 . First we get the arrival of the Valkyries from the Kilgore's perspective with these beautiful long shots, which are presented with his intent and methods in mind. Kilgore is so bold/confident that he announces his approach with the song and then the music cuts completely and most of all, mid-note. Then Coppola turns the whole scene around by switching the perspective to Charlie and their reaction to Kilgore's approach with this super well directed and shot, 23 second long drive all while the tension rises while the music grows more loud. What I had done during this scene as a director, would have been cutting the shots showing how they turn the music up and saved up the reveal of Kilgore blasting the Ride of the Valkyries instead of it's being the score, but that's just small artistic flare/afterthought of mine lol

You'll require a clean unarmed helos for that. The speaker, sound system, and the power requirement available that time with that kind of output would be too much for a fully armed huey. The best you can haul in an armed huey would be a compo, dunno if it is available back then. One question: did your unit really surfing?. The actually beach surfing that is.

You have more clues. When Kurtz is reading the magazine clippings to Willard, in that shipping container, he cites the dates, iirc.

3:50 It's shots like this that make this film legendary. The amount of time, pain, money, literal blood, etc that went into every sequence of this movie is truly awe inspiring (see the documentary on the film called Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse), but most especially the helicopter/explosive scenes. The crew often waited for *weeks* to get certain shots; they were literally filming in a warzone. Then here at 3:50, seemingly by chance, but who knows, a shot of smoke and flames on the bottom right, juxtaposed by a rainbow (a rainbow!) on the right, with a helicopter in the middle. A 3 second throwaway shot that could be a painting in a museum. Flames representing misguided hate, fury, destructiveness, and a rainbow the opposite, beauty/graceful interconnectedness of nature, and then man (in a machine) flying in between them. An elegant display of a practical/natural metaphor, in this case representing the duality of man (much like the "born to kill"/peace sign bit in Full Metal Jacket) in a 3 second blip of a shot. Outstanding art. Am I reading into this too deeply? Most certainly! But the fact that this film inspires me to do so is in it of itself is what makes it so great.

My favorite war movie plus Platoon Apocalypse surreal

I was working in London when this was released. Me and three good friends from work watched it at the ABC in Shaftesbury Avenue, pre multiplex screens so the screen was huge, not like the Gnats piss screens that pass for cinemas nowadays. I believe it was the first cinema to have Dolby Surround Sound in the UK. We were so impressed that we watched it for about another 5 Friday nights while it was on. It is a classic film showing the madness of war, particularly the weirdness that summed up the Vietnam war. The soundtrack was amazing as were the surreal scenes during the river journey and the Suzi Q and Do Lung Bridge, probably spelt incorrectly, elements of the film. Coppola is a genius.

Perhaps the single greatest movie scene of all time. It was remarkable when the movie came out … it is remarkable still.

One of the most badass, iconic and beautiful scene in cinema history. I get chills every time I watch it. And this music damnnnnn

It grossed over $40 million domestically, with a worldwide total of over $100 million.”

One of the greatest movie scenes ever! The intensity! Wow!

Tragic and genius. Cinema like this you don't get often. The utter madness of war.

0:59 Paul Rudd is such a versatile actor.

I've watch this movie many times. But when you see this clip on replay, it becomes clear what a stunningly complex scene it was to film. They must have used dozens of cameras. My favorite shot though is the silhouetted NV soldier running for 4 seconds, starting @2:53.

Possibly the greatest scene in film history! Brilliant!!

This film is in my top favorite ten films of all time, so iconic.

1:36 hell I remember this exact layout. It's a map from Battlefield Vietnam, even the housing layout is identical.

When I fill the bird feeder in the morning, and dozens of pigeons and sparrows appear èn-masse from all of the rooftops and bushes around. I always hear the flight of the valkyries in my mind and often chuckle out loud as a great hoarde of avian hunger descends down upon me. That's the power of a really epic movie like 'Apocalypse Now'. It stays with you and becomes enmeshed in the world around you.

The musical timing in this scene is so goood.

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!

One of the greatest scenes in cinema.

When this song is played in other films and TV it is usually the instrument version 'ride of the valkyries' is nothing without vocals.

At 3:18, that's R Lee Ermey himself, in an uncredited role. I got to talk with him a couple of times and never thought to ask him about this. I so wish I had... RIP, Gunny!

Ermey was cast in his first film while attending the University of Manila in the Philippines, using his G.I. Bill benefits.[10] He played a First Air Cavalry helicopter pilot in Apocalypse Now,[11] and doubled as a technical advisor to director Francis Ford Coppola. Ermey then was cast as a Marine drill instructor in Sidney J. Furie's The Boys in Company C. (Wiki)

Coppola did it with Godfather and did it here. This particular scene is something to behold. Nowadays even more. Considering the fact, the Manila leader took the helicopters in the middle of shooting while represing the civil war and other hundreds of difficulties, this movie is a masterpiece.

Francis Ford Coppola.

An iconic and standout scene so suitable for this movie. They really gave it to Charlie

Coppola unknowingly made the biggest US army recruiting video of the 1980s. I joined in 87'.

I was in the theater when this movie showed on the big screen with a vet from 1st Air Cav - he had a flash back in this scene and they had to stop the movie. He just stood straight up and was frozen. It took about 20 minutes for his wife and me to get him together enough to go home.

Coppola's production of Apocalypse Now, in my opinion, is the best war movie ever made, works on so many levels. It's tragic, beautiful, ugly, surreal, everything that represents life on this earth. 🇨🇦

One of the best photography of all time. Vittorio Storaro

0:43 I like his finger positioning during that act of loading. must be professional

Greatest war sequence ever .Took Coppola like two years to shoot it !

Surprising that a scene like this could have been recorded in 1979, that makes the effort of the team and the actors even more commendable.
