Famous Quote: "The horror... the horror..."
Finest Hour: The epic final confrontation between Captain Willard and Walter Kurtz where Willard just grabs a machete and hacks Kurtz, who offers little resistance, having accepted his fate. And then Willard leaves the temple peacefully as the natives bow in front of him, as if to underscore the pointlessness of war.
