Francis Ford Coppola’s "Apocalypse Now": a Translation of "Heart of Darkness"

"Modern Apocalypse" by Francis Ford Coppola is a 1979 epic Vietnam war movie based on Joseph Conrad's novel "The Heart of Darkness". However, as the two differences are so large, the word "based" has doubts.

Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse' depicts the atrocities of the Vietnam War and the view of the United States. Coppola successfully produced this movie in parallel with Joseph Conrad 's 1899 novel "The Darkness". Both depict the influence of imperialism on the homeland from the point of view of imperialists. The scene of modern apocalypse representing Coppola reflects the most creative license, perhaps the darkness of the heart where the last scene of Kurz was slaughtered. Each creator used their crafts successfully to create a wonderful craft work while clearly showing the interpretation of imperialism.

Francis Ford Coppola and Joseph Conrad had the same ideas as when we made "modern apocalypse". Both "modern apocalypse" and "dark heart" show similar fraud, imperialism and terrorism. Coppola adapted to the big screen due to the currency and time constraints and only explained it, so we made changes to adapt well for the released dark heart period. Coppola maintained not only Conrad's thought, essence, and theme integrity despite all the changes, but also raised these ideas. This is the reason why Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse of Contemporary" became a great adaptation of the dark heart of Joseph Conrad.
