This is kinda the point of the conversation. And he's intentionally overdoing it in a positive manner.

The most underrated director of all time and one of the greatest writers in Hollywood history John Milius

I remember the bad reviews of both the Godfather and Apocalypse Now. This taught me at a very young age that critics are simply potholes to be avoided in the ride of life.

I really respect Coppola for doing this.

I toured Vietnam for the USO in '72 at age of 21 with some 'sirens.' We were always treated with much respect and kindness by all military personnel. I experienced many of the scenes depicted in Apocalypse and Platoon. It was a great honor for me and I thank all who served and serve today. The leaders who sent them there, well that's another story...

I agree with Jor Van Kline . . . please write your story Cliff. When I was at school in my teens O discovered that the guy next to me was knowledgeable about the Vietnam War. It turns out that his brother was Special Forces - The Australian Special Air Service (SAS) - who trained the American Special Forces, in particular the U.S. Green Berets AND the Kit Carson Scouts whose official name was the Long Range Reccoinance Patrol rangers. The LRRP's provided amazing intelligence to the U.S. military which was far more accurate than that from satellites. This Australian SAS trooper tols us that Coppola got it right. The Vietnam War was a surreal experience and it drove many mad. The SAS trooper witnessed the psychological decline od the U.S. soldier but NOT the LRRP"s and Green Berets.

Don't forget that Coppola had his very life and treasure at stake making this film..dealing with bankruptcy..Brando and his outrageous ways.. devasted sets in the Philippines etc. Immense respect!

Just priceless. The humbleness of these two larger-than-life chaps. Amazing interview. Thank you a lot for the upload!

I love how all the comments are a reference to Walter. Milius will always be remembered for this by the new generations.

Coppola knew Jim Morrison at UCLA, Milius wrote the script with the Doors music in mind....Amazing interview!

Phenomenal stuff with two brilliant minds. I am starving to see the full Redux version of this film, and hopefully soon. Apocalypse has to be one of the greatest scripts that has come out of Hollywood. So many innovative and spectacular scenes and lines with a fantastic cast and crew.

Thank you for this...

Thank you so much sir, this is absolutely marvellous. Great work.

This is beautiful.

I saw the premier of Apocalypse Now on Oct. 31 - Halloween night - 1979, at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood (I still have the ticket stub in the movie DVD case). I had just moved to LA, fresh out of film school, and I was blown-away. The bad reviews must be by the same type of critics that panned 2001: A Space Odyssey. On the other hand, Spielberg's 1941 was released the same time, and was unanimously panned by the critics - for good reason. John Milius was involved in that as well.

Sometimes limitations and pressure are a good thing. The theatrical version is a million times better than the 'redux'.

Good scenes but don't really fit among the film. I prefer the addition of the extra Playboy girls scene due to the subtext of them, but I read that the order in which they appear in redux doesn't make logical sense.

WalterLiddy Given the choice between the two I’d most definitely pick the theatrical version. As much as it’s cool to have all the big discarded scenes wrapped into a director’s cut, it just loses the essence. Like you’re no longer accompanying Capt. Willard as he retraces his experience down the river but are instead imprisoned in the mind of someone who can’t distinguish fanciful day dreams from waking reality.

@William Burns But it doesn't work dropping it in right before meeting Kurtz. Or dropping it in anywhere. There's no fit. It does nothing for the movie. Takes you out of it. So he does a Final Cut and drops the playboy bunny scenes and leaves the French one in. Ridiculous.....let me take a wild guess as to why.......? ANYONE I ask who watches it still....ALL say they skip past the French scene,

The main reason why is that he knows that straight "reaction shots" are the most artifical in movies. When he asks a question he's better but the fact is they have very little common.

Does nobody give a shit about the rules?!!!! Mark it Zero!

Well as you know the succes of the wine business helped make him a multimillionare but when he wrote Patton and the Godfather - he was known and wished to be known (like it or not) as an anti-capitalist writer. But he always best when he has something to kick against - Milius was perfect for that as he was a friend of sorts and loved war as did a lot of people in Nam. Don't forget he told Coppola war is beautiful - that's there in the film too.

Nirvana Now, no fuck that shit, it's Apocalypse Now. Love Milius!

I was not aware of Milius, as a maker of movies, until I saw Rough Riders. I loved the attention to detail, especially with the weapons, and then I slowly started to realize that Milius had his hands in virtually every one of my favorite movies. Same with soundtracks by Lalo Schifrin. I had the soundtrack album for Enter the Dragon, and I'd hear little bits of it in other movies;, he wrote the soundtracks for a lot of my favorite movies of the '70s, and Milius was often involved in those same movies.

I was very confused and couldn’t figure out why Coppola was interviewing Walter from the big Lebowski for a few minutes

Agree he most certinaly is not "anti-capitalist" now I used the term generically. But if you look at Patton and how he came to be involved in the Godfather - the studio did not see the project as the great epic work it became they saw the project as something to be given to an indepdent radical who would make it as a "critique of American capitalism" in other words they did not plan/ invisage the huge success it became. The producer did try to sack him but as you know FFC suvived.

only "kinda"? It is a huge oversight on your part. I am glad you recognized your error though. It is a good reminder to people who consider themselves film expert who don't even know some of the basic background notes of the projects they are praising.

If only Coppola had gone back to making little movies instead of making One From the Arse.

@ 6:13 "Ben Hecht" , nee Hackton" whom google. '' ... if Orson Welles’ Heart of Darkness had been made, it would most likely have been a brilliant and revolutionary film for its time. It is in the embryonic Heart of Darkness that we see themes that later came to characterise Welles’ work, such as the destruction of the meta-narrative and exploration of the ever-present primitivism of the modern self. Adapting Heart of Darkness is perhaps the ultimate cinematic challenge, yet if there was ever a director to battle with the beast and “the horror”, Orson Welles may well have been it.''

I keep trying to shut off the subtitles but I can't get rid of them.

Oh yes it is, watch the audio commentary on the original Conan the Barbarian.
