On May 21, 1977, "Apocalypse Now" finally came to an end. Coppola told the editor and sound designer Walter Murzi to give him only 4 months to complete the sound effects of the film. Murzi discovered that the script used narration, but Coppola did not adopt it during the filming. In the end, he decided to change his original intention and record the narration for the film himself. In September 1977, Coppola confessed to his wife that there was only a 20% chance that the film would be released on schedule. Coppola found the upper management of United American Film Company and requested that the premiere date be postponed from May 1978 to October. While under the great pressure of the film, Coppola also fell into a family crisis due to an extramarital affair. In May 1978, Coppola decided to postpone the film's screening until the following spring.

[A+] I have to say that the existence of "Apocalypse Now" is the perfect proof that Coppola is possessed by the "God of Film". The superimposed opening is almost like a god. It is an extraordinary artistic method that overrides time and space. It is the best annotation of the three words "movie sense". The dispatch of the Valkyrie parade, the sound effects of the bridge stronghold, the photography of the French manor, the light at the end of the river, and the montage of the end of the killing are all concrete representations of Coppola's body as the "God of Film". Whether it is in the past or now, it is impossible for an audience to walk into this movie. Religion, civilization, ideology, and nihility, Coppola seems to be using images to rape the soul of the audience in all aspects. The 196-minute magical and absurd experience of spiritual interaction seems to be nothing to mention. I admire "Apocalypse Now" very much, but I will never watch it again.

It is simply an adventure + cult movie with a war label. The meaning of war in this film is only used as a background, and the real core is to trigger people's anti-war through a series of incomprehensible events experienced during the mission. Thinking, but in the end it ended with a half-hour cult preaching by Brando in the male lead position.

Photo Journalist: One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics.
