Reply to comment by DMCJR1992 in could a good heart of darkness movie be made? by fifticon
It’s been a while since I read it but seems like you could go some way in “updating” Marlowe to make him a somewhat more palatable narrator, same as Captain Willard. Don’t give him blatantly modern attitudes because that would be stupid and cringey, but give him enough of a conscience for the modern viewer.
Not that too many people would want to see this anyway.

The modern viewer requires a narrator with a conscience? Wow, I must not be living in the same world as you are. In any case, to change the novel in the ways you suggest would destroy its meaning.
