    [Embrace of the Snake] has a unique subject matter and perspective, well-structured and well-executed. It shows the distortions one civilization undergoes after being struck by another. But in the end, the film seems to be less confident in its own abilities, inserting a lot of debate scenes between many shocking scenes, and trying to diagnose Western materialism when it should be left blank. As a result it appears long and unrestrained as a poem, and as an educational novel it appears broad...

    This is the first time I have seen the Amazon rainforest presented in black and white images. The theme is the conflict between modern civilization and ancient culture. Latin America is very suitable for magical realism. As little as dust, don't be arrogant....

    The linear time of modern people is circular in the eyes of Indians; modern people finally reach violence and nothingness by means of rational tools and the passion of faith, and Indians achieve self-integrity by virtue of dreams and hallucinations and the unity of the world; what is civilization? Why barbarism? And a mix of the two usually brings the worst, like the man-eating Messiah in the movie. This has been and is happening in South America, Africa,...

    Good intentions. I had hoped to see more shots outside the narrative, but I didn't expect to keep the narrative, but the director seemed to be a little too obsessed with mysticism, resulting in the story being too loose and vague. Nor did I see the need for two lines. The snake was too spooky, and the meaning of "hug" was even more incomprehensible. 【20160422: CGV...
