This particular line comes when the character accepts the darkness within the soul, and states “The horror” as his final line. Whether people have seen the movie or not, many would recognize this line as something they have heard before and may recognize it from the original book that the movie is based on, Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.”
