Every cringe thing you heard about the film is true as well. Some unfortunate theater wagie 
has to ask Adam driver's character a question so that they can break the 4th wall and talk directly to the audience.

He's always been a hack fraud. Apocalypse Now was shit. It had a couple good scenes but you could say the same thing about Star Trek V and nobody holds up Shatner as the greatest director in history.

When you don't have an ending for your movie so you get really high and pay some Filipino villagers to chop up a pig in a dramatic fashion, that's not genius. That's called "being a fricking r-slur".

1. It was a cow you insensitive racist. Try respecting indigenous ways of knowing and being.
2. The ending summarized the ultimate pointlessness, futility, and wasted sacrifice of the journey, and by proxy, the war.
Unironically tho, it's probably his best movie because he was surrounded by people who where legitimately passionate about the project and were willing to suffer for their art, rather than his other films where he was surrounded by yes men who wanted his name to boost their careers.

Tards like to go on and on about how brilliant it is, but they never say what they're comparing it to. John Woo's Bullet in the Head is deeply flawed and one of his worst movies and it's still a way better movie about the Vietnam War.

He didn't pay them. They were just chopping the cow anyway and he filmed them. The entire end of the movie had no one follow the script and he just filmed whatever was happening.
But the various directors and final cuts prove that the film was good in spite of FFC, the french plantation scene he insists on inserting is uniformly awful.

I definitely believe this very believable man.
Yet somehow he never filmed Brando's fat butt.
He was absolutely corpulent at this point and the best thing Coppola does in the movie is to hide how fricking fat the guy is.
Another hack fraud. The two of them got together to make a movie because they knew a few movie critics in New York would fawn over anything they did. Every newspaper in the country would reprint it. I don't know if you kids understand, but that's how the world worked back then. You didn't have social media to say that NuTrek is shit and Kathleen Kennedy is a moron.
And that scene in On the Waterfront that we're all supposed to cream ourselves over: Great script. Great acting by the other guy. Brando is horrible. I'm not even an actor and I could fricking do this better myself if you threw me the script and gave me 15 minutes.
