In Joseph Conrad’s novella ‘Heart of Darkness’, a ship captain leads an expedition up the Congo River to find ivory trader Kurtz, who has established himself like a god. In Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola transplants that story to the Vietnam War – where US Army Cpt. Willard must travel into the heart of the jungle to ‘terminate’ a once celebrated colonel who has become a dangerously lethal presence within a local tribe. As Willard travels further into the depths of the Vietnamese jungle he begins to submerge himself wholly into the insanity of war, revealing the fractured psychosis of the conflict.
