A Suitable Leader for a Diverse People in Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad and Francis Ford Coppola both seek to portray the darkness within an individual. Coppola’s film, Apocalypse Now, parallels Conrad’s Heart of Darkness in a modern manner. However, through the use of film as a medium, Coppola makes his portrayal more accessible to the audience. It is more accessible because it takes place during an actual time period in history which makes the plot—to a certain extent—relatable to the audience, and because the audience can visually see the transformation that characters undergo when submitting to their inner darkness....

Such A Beast!: Sexuality And Humanization In Dracula - Over the course of cinematic history, many filmmakers have attempted to recreate the chilling, unprecedented world of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Arguably very few have succeeded, for the majority of directors tend to avoid the pervasive sexuality inherent in the novel. It is a difficult task to achieve, considering the blatant imagery surrounding sex and vampirism, such as the reproduction following a vampiric encounter and the phallocentric nature of the violence committed both by and against these creatures: penetration is involved in their hunting, and one must impale them with a stake in order to destroy them....

Apocalypse Now vs Heart of Darkness - Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now lacks the impact of its inspiration, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. While the basic elements of imperialism and human nature remain intact, the characters of the film bare little resemblance to their literary counterparts. 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, force the film to sacrifice the character development so crucial in the literary work....
