	Apocalypse Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coppola makes little explicit, but we come to believe that Willard and Kurtz develop an understanding nonetheless; Kurtz wishes to die at Willard's hands, and Willard, having subsequently granted Kurtz his wish, is offered the chance to succeed him in his warlord-demigod role.
		Coppola's agenda clearly involves larger themes; the film's subtext concerns a journey into the darkness of the human psyche.
		Nevertheless, Coppola has maintained many episodes (the spear and arrow attack on the boat, for example) that respect the spirit of the novel and in particular its critique of the concept of civilization and progress.

	Talk: Coppola's Hideaway - filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola
		Still, director Francis Ford Coppola's newest resort in paradisiacal Belize on the Caribbean Sea does owe a certain debt of inspiration to the Philippine setting of one of his most famous films.
		Coppola did have some directorial angst, and there were shades of the persona he reportedly adopted during the making of Apocalypse Now when he was overheard remarking one evening, "No place of mine has mosquitoes" before either hurling a very well-made pizza to the floor or dropping it by accident.
		Once there, Coppola trekked to the jungle highlands and bought an abandoned lodge called Blancaneaux, which he opened to the public in 1993 (after using it for more than a decade as a family retreat).
