Embrace of the Serpent Quotes

  • Old Karamakate: To become warriors, the cohiuanos must abandon all and go alone to the jungle, guided only by their dreams. In this journey, he has to find out, in solitude and silence, who he really is. He must become a wanderer dream. Many are lost, and some never return. But those who return they are ready to face what is to come.

  • Young Karamakate: Knowledge belongs to all. You do not understand that. You are just a white man.

  • Young Karamakate: A chullachaqui. We all have one, it resembles us, but it is empty, hollow. A chullachaqui has no memory. He just wanders the world, empty, like a ghost, lost in a time without time.

    Amazon Odyssey, departure and return, past and present. The wildness of the natives has been deprived of modern civilization, and it has become a hollow chullachaqui, the return of the "old man", and its memory has been re-given. Follow the water, follow the wind, follow the voice of the ancestors. I like the connection between the two stories, which is smooth and harmonious, as if the memory is looming back. The Jungle Ministry was filmed, and the difficulty can be imagined. The ambient sound is made realistic, and the last paradise lost for human beings.
