Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now lacks the impact of its inspiration‚ Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.

The film serves as a re-interpretation of Conrad’s novella‚ updated from 19th-century British imperialism in the Congo to a critique of 20th-century U.S. imperialism in Southeast Asia. Coppola’s changes in setting and plot structure‚ however
