  • APOCALYPSE NOW Clip - Ride of the Valkyries (1979) Francis Ford Coppola
    In Vietnam in 1970, Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) takes a perilous and increasingly hallucinatory journey upriver to find and terminate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a once-promising officer who has reportedly gone completely mad. In the company of a Navy patrol boat filled with street-smart kids, a surfing-obsessed Air Cavalry officer (Robert Duvall), and a crazed freelance photographer (Dennis Hopper), Willard travels further and further into the heart of darkness.

    The two best shots of the scene are the ones where you see the Little Bird almost drifting between the flock of Huey gunships (1:58), and the other is the shot of the fast approaching village from behind the chopper pilots (2:12). Superb camerawork. Sound wise, the ominous thudding of the rotor blades as the unseen gunships approach the village adds to the atmosphere and tension of the upcoming battle. Adding Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries as the score for the scene was also a stroke of genius, especially seeing as it's actually a part of the scene rather than being played over it. Again, superb film making, only equalled when Black Hawk Down was released decades later.

    • @Joni_Tarvainen
      @Joni_Tarvainen Před rokem +16

      Precisely, this is one of those scenes what we studied in university to understand the intent of every aspect of every shot in a scene storytelling wise. This is THE scene why we understand who Kilgore is with only 11 minutes of screen time, which is impressive as hell. Pretty rare to see something like that nowadays.
      In my opinion the best cut is at shots 1:15 - 1:22 and 1:22 - 1:45 .
      First we get the arrival of the Valkyries from the Kilgore's perspective with these beautiful long shots, which are presented with his intent and methods in mind.
      Kilgore is so bold/confident that he announces his approach with the song and then the music cuts completely and most of all, mid-note. Then Coppola turns the whole scene around by switching the perspective to Charlie and their reaction to Kilgore's approach with this super well directed and shot, 23 second long drive all while the tension rises while the music grows more loud.
      What I had done during this scene as a director, would have been cutting the shots showing how they turn the music up and saved up the reveal of Kilgore blasting the Ride of the Valkyries instead of it's being the score, but that's just small artistic flare/afterthought of mine lol

    This is without a doubt one of the most powerful movie scenes ever filmed. The contrast of the hubris of the Captain (?) and the Ride of the Valkyries juxtaposed against the confused and scared faces of the average troops - black and white - and then serving as the soundtrack of the horrific strafing of the village in high powered Hueys says everything about the horror of war as video game.

      You'll require a clean unarmed helos for that. The speaker, sound system, and the power requirement available that time with that kind of output would be too much for a fully armed huey. The best you can haul in an armed huey would be a compo, dunno if it is available back then. One question: did your unit really surfing?. The actually beach surfing that is.

    3:50 It's shots like this that make this film legendary. The amount of time, pain, money, literal blood, etc that went into every sequence of this movie is truly awe inspiring (see the documentary on the film called Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse), but most especially the helicopter/explosive scenes. The crew often waited for *weeks* to get certain shots; they were literally filming in a warzone.
    Then here at 3:50, seemingly by chance, but who knows, a shot of smoke and flames on the bottom right, juxtaposed by a rainbow (a rainbow!) on the right, with a helicopter in the middle. A 3 second throwaway shot that could be a painting in a museum. Flames representing misguided hate, fury, destructiveness, and a rainbow the opposite, beauty/graceful interconnectedness of nature, and then man (in a machine) flying in between them. An elegant display of a practical/natural metaphor, in this case representing the duality of man (much like the "born to kill"/peace sign bit in Full Metal Jacket) in a 3 second blip of a shot. Outstanding art.
    Am I reading into this too deeply? Most certainly! But the fact that this film inspires me to do so is in it of itself is what makes it so great.

    I was 17 years old when I got to Vietnam-1966 through 1969 (My mom had to sign a waiver for me), I grew up fast and learned a lot, good and bad. (I am now 73 and still learning). I was stationed on the USS Providence and also stationed in Country at a place called "Monkey Mountain" close to DaNang,. I spent 3 tours of duty in and around Vietnam. 3 of my high school friends were killed in Vietnam, I was spared. I participated in the TET Offensive in Feb 1968, that was bad. Somewhere along the way I was exposed to Agent Orange (Nasty Stuff) I am now on disability for the effects of agent orange. When I was discharged and came home to the States we arrived in San Francisco, and there were a lot of protesters spitting on us and throwing rocks and eggs and called us baby killers. That was our welcome home. I tell you this to say to you, that whatever your position is or was on the Vietnam war, it was not the veteran who got us into the war, most of us went because we were patriots and loved our country. Blame the politicians, yes, but not the veteran. To all Vietnam Vets out there, you are not forgotten. As a previous combat Vet myself, I salute you my friend.

    I was working in London when this was released. Me and three good friends from work watched it at the ABC in Shaftesbury Avenue, pre multiplex screens so the screen was huge, not like the Gnats piss screens that pass for cinemas nowadays. I believe it was the first cinema to have Dolby Surround Sound in the UK. We were so impressed that we watched it for about another 5 Friday nights while it was on. It is a classic film showing the madness of war, particularly the weirdness that summed up the Vietnam war. The soundtrack was amazing as were the surreal scenes during the river journey and the Suzi Q and Do Lung Bridge, probably spelt incorrectly, elements of the film. Coppola is a genius.

      He directed The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather 2, and Apocalypse Now roughly within the span of 6 or 7 years, working non-stop the whole time. Sometimes that's the price of greatness, you burn yourself out. I think Coppola was always more interested in making more personal films but he got sidetracked along the way. I still think some of his later films like Rumble Fish have a lot of merit and he was still finding ways to push the envelope.

    Coppola did it with Godfather and did it here. This particular scene is something to behold. Nowadays even more. Considering the fact, the Manila leader took the helicopters in the middle of shooting while represing the civil war and other hundreds of difficulties, this movie is a masterpiece.

      Because character is going insane from savagery of war. It's based on heart of darkness, human savagery, he slowly becomes psychopathic uncaring to horrors of war. I think you missed point of Sheens character

      About a few years later his son Charlie shot the movie "Platoon". Both movies ("Apocalypse Now" and "Platoon") were shot in the Philippines.
      Part of "Platoon" was shot in the town where my maternal grandfather grew up.
