Apocalypse Now
Kurtz : “The horror. The horror…”
The words are still echoing in my ears..
A *must* see if you have not watched this movie “Apocalypse Now”. I watched it last when I was a kid and now again. The movie starts and ends with the song “the end” by Jim morrison. What more do need I need to say.
Which movie?
The subject is the name of the movie
So this is what you are upto…

yessss … “the end” from jim morrison : what more can one ask for from life.
Heart of Darkness
A *must* see if you have not watched this movie “Apocalypse Now”.
I heartily concur. It is one of the best (Vietnam) War movies ever made.
I would recommend watching the film a couple of times, reading Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and watching the film again. Apocalypse Now is loosely based on the Conrad book. I love how Kurtz has been neatly transplanted from the Belgian Congo to Cambodia and Laos.
Re: Heart of Darkness
Each time I watch the movie, I want to make a trip to south east asia. Infact I was reminded of you last night
I have to see that movie again… the first time I saw it was a few months ago after a nite out and I just slept through… i think brando is the “psychopath” rite?
Have you’ll seen “the shining”? I get constantly reminded of those two twin sisters axed….. very vivid, graphic cinematography by kubrick
Re: Heart of Darkness
Can you suggest any more books on colonialism in Africa, particularly Belgians in Congo and the French in Algeria?
Amazing userpic. I love Jim Morrison 🙂

The Scramble for Africa is a great book on colonialism in Africa.
King Leopold’s Ghost and In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz are excellent books on the DRC.
I don’t know much about Algeria. My interest at this stage is East Africa and the Congo.
Thaths

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it soon. To do justice to SEA, you must be willing to spend a few months there at least.
Also watch The Killing Fields. I am not ashamed to say tthat I cry every time I watch that film.
Oh yes … I still cant forget the way Dennis Hopper (I guess it was him) recites ‘If’ by Kiplink when Charlie Sheen first lands up there …
