If you haven't read it or understood it you will not really understand this. The Heart of Darkness is about the gradual loss of comprehension and understanding of the reality in which we live. In the original it was about a trip up a river in which sanity is gradually lost. In Apocalypse Now it is about the insanity of war. In this movie it is about the insane consequences of living in broken communities and loss of connection to the real world. Some parts of this are painful to watch. It drags on in some places. We never know what the aliens are doing to the world. We just dream of coming back to something that we can believe in, but we live in a world in which sanity becomes harder to find. It takes a while to figure this out. Persevere.
