Opera lover Fitzgerald accomplished more than imagined as a visionary and doer. In order to build his favorite opera house in a small town in Peru, South America, which is a purely personal dream, he lobbied rich businessmen for support and investment, and was greatly insulted by the businessmen at the gambling table. . In the eyes of others, he is a lack of heart. In the end, he planned to save the country by curve, and decided to go to the mysterious Amazon rainforest to make rubber to achieve the ideal wealth. You can think of this as the process of starting a business, by accumulating raw wealth to achieve your ideals. His lover who ran a brothel unconditionally helped him buy an old boat from a merchant as a means of transportation, and his team embarked on a journey full of unknowns.
But the tragedy is that the employees who put it on soon run away. Some were thrown off the boat because they were jealous of women, and some escaped because they were afraid of the primitive Indian tribes in the jungle. Legend has it that an expedition came here before, and many members were killed and eaten by the Indians. Just as they were about to turn around due to lack of manpower and fear of the Indian tribes, something magical happened. Countless Indians climbed on his ship and were willing to work for him, because the Indians had been looking for a white holy relic to conquer the river god, and obviously, this big ship was the relic in their eyes. Everyone on the same boat cooperated with each other for their different goals and completed an incredible land boat. Under the support of belief, some Indians even lost their lives. The process of making land roller skating devices with big trees and wood and the process of people pulling the boat in circles was presented as real and complete as a documentary, crazy and shocking. This is the cooperation between modern civilization and primitive civilization, and it is also the fusion of modern civilization to primitive civilization. After the boat crossed the precipitous rapids, it floated on the river calmly, just like Fitzgerald at this time, calm and nothingness. He witnessed greatness, he saw greatness, and he was a great participant. He survived the madness beyond imagination, he did not get the rubber and wealth, but he and the primitive tribe achieved miracles beyond modern times in primitive ways. He got a different life course. When he returned, he said nothing about the opera house. He simply invited opera singers to perform on board, and he gave up his pursuit of form. There are many "crazy people" in the world who are not understood, they are dreamers and idealists. They deviate from the secular values and way of life, they pursue their ideal world without listening to the outside world, they have strong self-belief and vitality, but they are not understood by the world because of this. They may spend their entire lives spiritually prosperous and miserable, or they may be sought after by others. And this film is the best gift for these "madmen".
