What matters is ability

People with a colonial mentality can't read this film. All they see are deception, exploitation, and exploitation. This film is not about the conquest between people, but the conquest between people and things. The white people did not take advantage of the natives. Everyone was equal before nature. The white people did not force the Indians to serve them. On the contrary, they could be killed by the Indians at any time. But the Indians did not kill them after all. It was not because the Indians believed in the God preached by the whites, nor was it because they believed in their own legend of the White God. They just became as crazy as the whites. After paying the price of their deaths, they Decided to get this ship up the mountain. As for its original purpose, it doesn't matter to everyone. The only thing that matters is this matter, and this matter must be completed. Just like the story of Niagara Falls that Fitzgerald later told, does a waterfall have any meaning? It doesn't make much sense, but I'm here, I saw it, I've done such an awesome thing, that's the whole point. Perhaps its significance is that it can be told to future generations that we once dragged a steamship over a mountain, and the significance of this event is like once covering a pyramid, a kind of performance art.

3.5-. The similarity of Herzog's paranoia to Fitzcarraldo's is not a factor to consider when evaluating a film, just as metamorphic coincidences shouldn't be a plus. Other than that, the film has no bright spots. Although it is still quite good-looking, the interest comes more from the dramatic tension provided by the script and Kinski's performance, rather than the miracles on the video, so it belongs to the kind of strong setting. A driven, unreasonable romantic/dark comedy film, written in a crude way. As soon as a large number of plots related to Indians appeared, it was basically doomed that the film could not escape the shackles of international commercial blockbusters.

A South American version of Yugong Yishan, the director is as crazy as the lead actor, and that obsession can even make the boat jump out of the water. At the time, the difficulty of shooting was unimaginable. The moment the chief lifted the ice, he could feel that the world was quiet...

Don Aquilino: The Indians call the rapids Chirimagua, "the angry spirits." Anyone who falls in there is lost. The bare-asses also say the water has no hair to hold on to.

Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Is this a rubber tree?
Don Aquilino: Right. "Hevea brasiliensis." They call the rubber tree "caoutchou," "tree that weeps." These bare-asses love flowery language. Gold, they call "sweat of the sun." Bees, "fathers of honey." You know, it's no easy job to discipline them, believe me.
