In a 2010 issue of The Economist about the Greek debt crisis, the cover has an image of Angela Merkel in military uniform, and helicopters flying over the Acropolis in Greece - alluding to some sort of a war. In fact, contrary to the terrain in the vicinity of the Acropolis, the image depicts the Acropolis in lush green vegetation of the tropical region. The words 'The Horror, The Horror' are seen in red below the Acropolis. These are, in fact, the last words of Marlon Brando's character in the iconic film that inspired this cover. Identify either the movie, or the setting of the movie.
