the movie heart of darkness be an insult to the book by joseph conrad . to be quite honest the movie make me want to fall asleep . on the other hand and the book be definitely extraordinary . i feel that the movie leave out several key element and miss some of the main point from the book . in addition and the actor be boring and lacked originality and enthusiasm . the book and while not an adventure story or easy to understand and be full of hidden meaning and interesting twist in the plot . the book and though very confusing and complex and be astonish . when you do finally understand it and you feel a if you have actually learn something . the novella and or short story and have several key idea like futility and craziness and which the movie leave out . in addition and several key scene be change and which in return affect the entire plot . many of the scene seem to be very choppy and in the sense that they do not fit together . in summary and the movie seem to be a bad interpretation of the book . i would only recommend watch this movie if you can not picture or understand the book and but otherwise i would skip this one . it be dreadful and and in complete disarray . if you have never read the book then and definitely do not watch the movie because you need the basic information from the book to understand the movie . the movie be a horrible spin off of an outstanding and detailed book .
