OK, I give up: What does this have to do with this thread?
Er, sorry, I read “Heart of Darkness” and understood “Nostromo”, which is as I have said.
He felt called upon to make the population — which he described as “children without culture” — not only healthy but also “civilized.”
The monster! 🙄
Evidently it was a movie, a 1939 film “Stanley and Livingstone” with Spencer Tracy and Sir Cedric Hardwicke, and I’m thinking probably an interesting one.
I watched that movie as a child, and I was extremely moved by it.
Watched it yesterday and yes, very inspirational movie.
I wish they’d make movies these days that lead ones to consider the higher goals of individuals. I was thinking of how they prefer us to be considered victims of any traumas wherein this movie the men lived up to the hardships and persevered even making them stronger.
