I'm not the kind of guy that they would send on that mission.
But in all honesty. I'd be awfully tempted to just turn around and report back. "Sorry, couldn't get close enough to the guy to get him. But I wouldn't be too worried. Something is going to kill him sooner or later. Probably sooner. Probably a massive heart attack." |

If you were Willard. You had no choice. You killed Kurtz or he had you killed. That was the Colonels plan all along.
Chef was right. Never leave the boat. |

For anyone that hasn't, read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It's the book the movie is based off and is stupidly good. And short for you lazy bastards.

For me once Kurtz became responsible for Chef's death, all bets are off. He's now responsible for the murder of a US serviceman, whether he personally did it or not. Up until then he was just mercilessly taking the fight to the enemy and accomplishing what all the brass would not. Killing an American would've made it easy for me, and that's how I would've handled it. No hesitation.
Oh... and "Redux" completely sucked. |

If you're a Conrad fan, "Ad Astra" is another take on Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" as well. "Darkness" is a symbolic journey into the mind of man, and as the story progresses things start to unravel, and get weirder and weirder. You are on a journey into insanity. If you notice in "Apocalypse Now" every time the boat stops things get more surreal, more bizarre. Same thing goes for Ad Astra. Every time Brad Pitt/"Roy McBride" stops along his journey out things get darker and more insane. Both destinations met with an expedition leader playing God just as in "Heart of Darkness." Both films were renditions of Conrad's novel, although "Apocalypse" was clearly much more effective.

Seemed like Kurtz was about 3 jelly donuts away from a heart attack, so that's how I would do the deed. Pastries.

Initially I could have considered at the very least of just abandoning the mission, if not even joining him. After imprisonment and Chef killing there no longer would be doubt of what to do.
