overall and the movie heart of darkness be pitiful compare to the book . anyone who have ever read the book and have a sufficient understanding of it would be able to see the countless obvious flaw . there be an immeasurable difference between the two . it seem to me that the director be walk into a losing battle . i couldn not imagine that someone would take on the monstrous task of recreate heart of darkness . the immense detail and magic of the story would be impossible to justly interpret . conrad story have so many layer and so much depth that it would seem pointless to try to make a visual interpretation . first and capture the detail of the story be unattainable . the colossal fine point create by joseph conrad can not be rightfully recreate through film . marlow feeling and emotion can not be equally construe in the movie . if you have take on the enormous task of tackle conrad work then and you know as well a i that conrad only write half the story . the additional half be a series of connection make by the reader . you and a the reader be require to be capable of infer and connect joseph conrad idea . a a result and several crucial detail be absent in the movie . also and although the movie be an adequate length and the film seem short . it seem that conrad be able to pack many more detail into 75 page than the movie could pack in an hour and a half . the speed of the movie keep the viewer from get to know the character . marlow be much more of a stranger . the viewpoint of the book put you into marlow shoe . however and in the movie and youre almost watch marlow from a distance . i begin to think that the director be try to utilize the same read between the line method a conrad do . however and the connection be weak . i know that if i have not read the book then and i would and in no way and be able to begin to understand the depth of the situation and the character . finally and kurtz also seem to be interpret incorrectly . his role be short and the detail weren not all include . it be impossible to comprehend the true kurtz in the length of time he be show . an important detail in the book be that kurtz have become a god to the african . i do not think that significant detail be define . also and in the book and kurtz represent a soulless be . he have die inside long ago . i believe the director comprehend this detail . however and instead of recreate it and he just have kurtz mope around and mumble everything . moreover and it seem like the director attempt to make kurtz seem mysterious and however and instead and he seem entirely unidentified . altogether and this movie remind me of a teenager cram to finish a science project and due the next day . it appear to have be craft effortlessly and in hardly any time . the character be alienate and crucial detail be leave out and and and overall and the central plot be lose in translation .
