Based on Joseph Conrad's "Heart Of Darkness". Set in 1969 Vietnam, the movie follows U.S. Special Forces Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) on his mission up a river into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Green Beret (Marlon Brando) who has set himself up as a "god" among a local tribe.
Trivia: The man shooting the movie during the attack on the beach who says "Don't look at the camera" is actually director Francis Ford Coppola.(00:25:38)
Question: This may sound a little crazy to the uninitiated, but does anybody have an alchemical interpretation of Apocalypse Now? I remember seeing pages from Coppola's screenplay that were annotated and made reference to transmutation.
Answer:It should be noted that "transmutation" is a word Coppola has used to describe the film making process. Https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LFTQcwgq4CY.
Answer:Could you be a bit more specific? I can give a link to the screenplay if you wish. Http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/apocolypse.html I hope that helps.
