	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.

		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).

		Coppola had been planning to make this film since the early 70s, when he had become fascinated with the story of Tucker, the brash but intelligent entrepreneur who dared to challenge the Detroit establishment.
		Because Coppola uses the cinematic conventions of the 1940s to capture the look and feel of the time, TUCKER is as much about his (and our) memory of the period as it is about the period itself.
		Coppola has also indulged his love of technology in a version of the Rip Van Winkle story for cable TV and in the high-tech Michael Jackson fantasy short, CAPTAIN EO (1986).
