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.

Complementary standard. A waterway psychedelic poem that far exceeds the pattern of ordinary war films. I think it is the best work of Coppola's life, even more than the godfather.

A man who is not afraid of an enemy with a weapon, but is scared half to death by a tiger. A slaughtering madman who does not cry over the death of his comrade, but is angry at a puppy. A captain who counted eight of his own kills murmured horror as he left the execution site covered in blood. War makes people forget about morality, forget purpose and forget who they are. Poetic beauty, intoxicating soundtrack, also made me forget what war is, mistaken it for a ridiculous game

Willard: If that's how Kilgore fought the war, I began to wonder what they really had against Kurtz. It wasn't just insanity and murder; there was enough of that to go around for everyone.
