the problem with the film be quite simply this and conrad prose be powerfully verbose and can not be adapt to a movie . marlow narration in the novella captivate you from the first sentence and you only see what conrad write about . in movie and it different and you see the visual and but the description and reflection that really make the novel and be frightfully miss . but as far a an unadaptable book have be adapt and it be of good standard . there be the exact same scene and which be pinpoint quite geniously and but they never have the same affect a in the novel . the plot in the movie have be enhance and and it work very well to make it more interesting . the reference to ancient egypt be thoughtfully insert . my tip and read the book and and keep it that way and there be good movie out there .
