Heart of Darkness (literary elements (characterization: the relationship…

- - - - fiancé
      - Marlow's aunt has been lied to cuz she really thinks that her nephew is doing sth should be on the front page of the newspaper. very proud.
  - - - Vincent Camby: "Apocalypse Now is not about any war but about the disastrous United States involvement in Vietnam." #
      - madness/ insanity/ incomprehensible, surrealistic : "there is also the sequence where the patrol boat stops a small fishing boat with a family on board. ...."
    - - Roger Ebert: "Apocalypse Now pushes beyond the others, into the dark places of the soul. it is not about war so much as about how war reveals truths we would be happy never to discover"
        
        Roger Ebert: "if we are lucky, we spend out lives in a fool's paradise, never knowing how close we skirt the abyss. what drives Kurtz mad is his discovery of this"
  - - - the maniac officer Col. Kilgore
        
        Roger Ebert: "his emptiness is frightening: a surfing fanatic, he agrees to the attack only to liberate a beach said to offer great waves."
      - the ski lover
        
        Roger Ebert: "to ease their loneliness and apprehension"
    - - in the film it is a freelance photographer/ photojournalist
        
        Roger Ebert: "the photographer is the guide, the clown, the fool, providing the balance between Willard and Kurtz." is he supporting the theme?
    - - Vincent Canby: "with the exception of Mr. Brando, who has no role to act, the actors are superlatively right." "the maniac officer, played with breathtaking force and charm by Robert Duvall, exhibits most of the qualities we miss in the foolish pretensions of the movies' Kurtz whose actions and words, when they finally come, have little to do with the rest of the movie"
      - Roger Ebert: "the river journey creates enormous anticipation about Kurtz, and Brando fulfills it." "it's clear he was the correct choice, not only because of his stature as an icon, but because of his voice, which enters the film from darkness or half-light, repeating the words of T.S. Eliot's despairing The Hollow Men. that voice sets the final tone of the film"
- - - - and in this way/ as a result/ and so, it is different but not so radically different that it can't be considered an adaptation.
    - - lost
      - impossible
      - compare
  - - - it's a good time to come back (spirit) , has the literary text been violated
