Several productions are just as problematic and chaotic as Francis Ford Coppola's epic military film, "Apocalypse Now". For beginners, the lead was to be rethinked halfway through the filming, the shootings were delayed for unforeseen reasons, and socio -political factors in real life were constantly interfering with the scheduled schedule. However, this was just the tip of the icy "Apocalypse now". The true degree of horrors documented in the "hearts of darkness: the director's apocalypse" highlights the unpleasant tense environment in the room, exacerbated by interpersonal clashes, health problems/concern for hygiene and extreme time. To say that things have taken a hellish twist will be an underestimation, but Coppola and co. There was no option but to power through.

To worsen things, Typhoon Olga hit the Philippines in 1976, displacing more than 1.3 million from locals and destroying everything on its way. Coppola production was very hit as a result, as the typhoon destroyed detailed film kits/equipment, adding an additional burden on the already expanding the budget. According to veteran actor Scott Glen (played by Captain Richard M. speaking with Hollywood reporterGlenn recounted how he instinctively prevented a possible disaster and saved Coppola's life with quick thinking:

"That night, the Didang typhoon (also known as Olga) - the worst storm of 1932 - it broke up directly through us. He turned the Isthmus where we were staying on the island. Francis climbed to the canoe, which was tied to a rope on the shore. From 50 yards, I could see what happened, I could see what happened, I could see exactly, He was tied up to tighten. "

Coppola was immensely grateful and offered Glen's choice to choose any scene that would allow his character to do more than what the existing scenario had placed. Glenn opted for more hidden at the end of the film, although Colby didn't have too many lines to talk. "I wanted to be close (Marlon) Brando, (Dennis) Hopper, all of them. So I made it. The best decision I have ever made," Glenn said, looking at the experience.

Controversy over the production of "Apocalypse Now" are complex and multilayer. Less than ideal decisions were made by all in the room, but most of the failures could not be provided or controlled. For example, government -used government assets, such as helicopters, have repeatedly been reminded by the president's fight against the rebel, not leaving trained Philippine pilots have no choice but to commit to. Moreover, most sets were constructed in the tropical jungles (leading to working conditions that were heavy enough), but the alarming lack of security measures made things definitely worse. After IndependentFlame blasts and colored smoke shown in the story had to be practically done, doing things "extremely dangerous" for the construction team and all involved.

In the middle of the actors related to the actors (where some, like Dennis Hopper, went a complete method and did not take a shower for weeks, and others, like Marlon Brando, arrived completely unprepared in the room), Coppola's production officially came out of the rails. After replacing Harvey Kitel, Martin Sheen (played by the veteran killer, Captain Benjamin L. Willard) had to acclimatize the chaos in the room while dealing with his problems, and the actor suffered a nearly fatal heart attack during production. Coppola also suffered epileptic seizure at one point, highlighting the very real dangers of work in such extreme conditions.

This is just a brief overview of the problematic making of "Apocalypse now" -By the time the production was finally completed, the budget was delivered from $ 12 million to over $ 30 million (the fact that Coppola self -financed a piece of it certainly didn't help things). The director also had to edit over a million feet of film, which must be a very difficult temptation, adding to the infamously complicated inheritance of such a culturally important work of art.
