		It's well known that director Francis Ford Coppola (frequently revising the screenplay during the three-year production) shot a number of scenes that he later abandoned, including a positively surreal visit to French plantation in Vietnam, where the aristocratic residents refuse to accept that their world is crumbling around them.
		The documentary, shot by Coppola's wife Eleanor during the film's production at her husband's suggestion (to keep her occupied, she suspected) is perhaps the greatest film ever made about the making of a film.
		Coppola's renting of helicopters from Philippine President Marcos — with the understanding that they could be taken away from the production at a moment's notice — was a real head-scratcher.

		John Milius' original script and Coppola's nonstop rewrites couldn't support the director's flood of notions; the production was designed at every stage as the sort of spectacle that overwhelms audiences rather than prods their understanding -- a movie that blows minds, not a movie that expands them.
		Coppola's first "personal" movie, the 1966 youth comedy "You're a Big Boy Now" (developed on his own dime), is the work of an exuberant young showoff.
		I interviewed Coppola about "The Godfather" when he was working on "The Rainmaker." He mentioned that a tool from his theater background that he used consistently in movies was a notebook like the one Elia Kazan put together while directing "A Streetcar Named Desire," in which he "provided the core to every scene.

	Conrad & Coppola
		As to the character of Kurtz, it is worth noting that while significant discrepancies exist between the depictions of Conrad and Coppola, the basic nature of the man remains fairly similar.
		Again, Colonel Kurtz is considered by the parties in charge to be insane, his methods unsound (a direct dialogue echo from the text.) This last fact, however, that Willard is from the beginning an assassin, is a fundamental difference between the film and the book.
		In "Apocalypse Now," Coppola is right on target in exploring this theme, his choice of Viet Nam in the sixties providing all the requisite elements: power, the jungle, and "the Company" are all present, the latter being represented by the U.S. Army, or perhaps the U.S.A. as a whole.
