Heart of the Apocalypse

Comparing these two pieces of work...I'd rather 'scape from class...

Let's get down the obvious synonymous stuff first.

First of all, a boat down a river. dur. "The horror, the horror." Yes, classic. Searching for the man named Kurz, a man whom everyone thinks is a genius and someone who should run whatever operation is going on. In both works, the man named Kurz has lost his will, he cannot handle all the things he sees deep within an unknown place. People getting killed, dying of disease everywhere, who wouldn't be able to handle it. The only way to adapt would be to ensure that you are on top of everything. Both main characters were eager to enter the jungle for their individual reasons, an exciting venture seems to be the consensus. Both men are in awe of Kurz, by his reputation and speculation, and expect him to be something great or terrifying when they meet him. "His methods unsound." thas a direct quote i'm sure.

I remember a part in HOD when there are fires everywhere, and a man says; "splendid." It kind of reminds me of the surf crazy general guy, who walked around the fires with a "splendid." kind of look on his face. Not to mention the book used the word "surf" like 30 times, which may refer to the men's obsession with it. tehee. Both of them have people that go stircrazy shooting guns everywhere...poor natives...

Alot of things on the river are described as dark through the book, and in the movie, the cieling fan creates a nice shadow effect at the beginning...I'm just saying, it creates a nice dark atmosphere for the beginning. Plus Mr. Brandow's face is half covered in shadow most of the time, representing his darkness and fall into madness.

Different stuff in the hizzouse. (rap for house.)

The setting and time period of course, the book based in the congo around 1900, and the movie in vietnam/cambodia. Names: Marlowe vs. Capt. Willard. Willard isn't the captain of his boat, he doesn't think nearly as much, (he's a soldier darnit!) and he has a very specific reason for confronting this terrifying insight of humanity. Darn those parents of his. (jodanja, joke.) Well, its alot harder to name all the things different than the same...KOTOWARU!!! YAMETOKE!!!
