It's an afterthought, not a movie review
Civilization and barbarism clash
When the local Indians came into contact with the expedition team and the missionaries, tragedies occurred. Before the emergence of civilization, with a superior attitude, trying to transform them all ended in failure. The male protagonist directly uses local legends to achieve his goals. An uneducated person can really resonate with the male protagonist in the opera. In the male protagonist's mind, the pig should be ranked above the rubber tycoon.
on idealism
Willingness to put in resources at all costs to achieve, first the railway through the Amazon jungle, and then the ice-making business, in fact, are not optimistic. In the end, I was willing to develop the rubber business, but in a completely different way. Only the male protagonist will think of shipping a ship from land, and others, including me, will definitely say no. I didn't succeed in cutting the rubber, but it can be considered a success. The moment the boat was walking on land made me feel ashamed, who had always been skeptical. The world is propelled by people like him, and we "rational" people can't do it.
About the character of the male protagonist
When he left the brothel, he said that he couldn't stay with those who thought he was great because he had money, but for his own ideals, he still tried to cater to him. In my opinion, although the male protagonist is shown as a winner, he must have failed from the perspective of bystanders. The boat was bought and the money was spent, and the rubber mining rights must have been lost. But all this is not important to the parties at all.
Nonsense
Seeing the footage of boating on land, I thought of a metaphor: I just wanted to run docker on my handwritten k8s. This kind of behavior attracts me because I usually avoid risks and lack love. After reading it, when I looked for a person in the memory bank to correspond, I could only think of Musk. Now his tunnel digging business, isn't it just another kind of railroad track through the Amazon jungle?
