if you have ever hear the say and the book be always good than the movie and heart of darkness be no exception to the rule . i believe that it be much easy for me to comprehend the detail of the novel over the movie because i read the book aloud with my english class . we discuss each paragraph in great detail so i grasp the concept pretty quickly . i couldn not really understand the plot a well while watch the movie . this may be because there be no discussion hold in class and but i suppose it be also because i couldn not paint my own picture in my mind of the event of the novel . if youre the type of person who believe in that well know say and then leave watch the heart of darkness movie off your to do list .
