actually, heart of darkness by joseph conrad was written about 75 years before apocalypse now was made. its about an explorer guy who is sent by a company to reaffirm a post where the leader has gone crazy (named kurtz). FFC adopted it to fit witht the vietnam war.

quote: Did you know before CK, Wells was planning on doing an adaptation of the book, Hearts of Darkness--Coppola's Apoclypse Now. But RKO pulled the plug on the project because it was too controversal. So Wells made CK instead. I found this interesting.
You know what I find interresting? I find it interresting that a guy like welles who made such a well recieved film (whether one personally likes it or not, it was well recieved and praised) had such a hard time making films after that. I know the reasons as ive seen the documentary on him, hearst and CK, but it still puzzles me. I guess he was ahead of his time with too little power and the studios fought back.

it depends, the actual film version of HOD with tim roth and john malkovich was more boring to me than CK. Apocalypse Now is just a more modern adaptation and ppl can understand and relate to the madness.
