The film uses almost extravagant long shots to show the limits of each effort of a genius or a lunatic, and finally reaches the peak. It uses shocking images to record the entire process of the steamship over the mountains, even if the story does not turn towards the end of happiness, but The paranoid always has the logic of a genius or a lunatic, and the courage to never retreat is just as absurd and heroic as the Caruso opera at the end of the river. Ask yourself if you have ever been pretentious, lost your mind, or fearless in failure, will still go forward courageously?

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.
