The two are very similar and I was just wondering whether the novel was the basis of/for(?) the film. Monkeys

Is the film Apocalypse Now based on the above novel?

You might be interested in this Book Club in the Lighthouse Cinema
http://www.lighthousecinema.ie/comingsoon.php?_mc=10677

On 29th Sept. the book for discussion will be "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad. The film "Apocalypse Now" will be shown first, then the book discussion will take place in the bar of the Lighthouse afterwards.

I've attended a few of these book club/film screenings and they are very good. Ideal for a film/literary buff like me.
