Apocalypse Now is an adaptation movie of Heart of Darkness. The story line was similar but presented in different way. In this movie, Willard, the main character, was involved in Vietnam War whereas in the novel, Marlow was sent by the company to the African jungle where Kurtz resided and played god in the territory. The setting was in Vietnam whereby the Americans tried to conquer the natives through war.
The themes conveyed were comparable as what stated in the novel. His journey to accomplish his mission was horrific and gruesome which reflected the horror and darkness. The way they slaughtered the natives without mercy was somehow inhuman and uncivilized. The natives are just like the animals to them. They appeared to enjoy themselves and get pleasure of their brutality when they considered it as victory after killing the natives and destroying their villages.
