I thought it was Apocalypse Now, but Google tells me that it was inherited from Heart of Darkness, the book on which the film was based. Learn something everyday... and "oh the humanity" come from? Radio commentary on the Hinderburg disaster. Next <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Paul | | | Re: THE HORROR!!!! THE HORROR!!!

Sebring, Florida. | Wait a minute, how can Heart of Darkness be the book for which Appocolypse Now is based, if the movie is about the Viet Nam war? Was there another war with hellicopters, surfing, weed, Hendrix, and Marlin Brando in the 1890's?? Or was it based on wiping out the Indians? I mean, they at least smoked the payote. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

That dude Timbo was probably an engineering major or something!! english was Conrad's second (third? fourth?) language and he was very good with it but, no, I don't think he would have put that in the book <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> yeah, probably engineering major. Hell, I was a psych major with bio and chem minors BA Wabash College, Indiana | | | Re: THE HORROR!!!! THE HORROR!!!

| . . .the movie is about the Viet Nam war? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Not exactly. The real theme is man's inhumanity to man. HOD is about the destructive impact of European colonialism on native African cultures. Lots of environmental degradation, death, dead bodies decomposing. And, the debilation of European culture when taken out of its natural environment i.e. Europe. Kurtz loses his humanity, machines stop working. Apocalypse Now follows those same themes. Think of the madness in the scene along the DMZ where no one is in change. It is an anti-war movie, specifically an anti-Viet Nam War movie.

I would say that that is a part of the book but I think it is more about the internal/introspective perspective and realizing how crazy we can be... "he came to a door and looked inside..." kind of thing. Supposedly orson wells was going to try to make HOD into a movie but didn't figure he could get it right so he did Citizen Kane instead. | | | Re: THE HORROR!!!! THE HORROR!!!

Sebring, Florida. | An enginering major for the first two years, then got a job flying night freight so I had to transfer into business to finish in 4 years.
Favorite lines from the movie?
