On their voyage up the tributaries of the Amazon, they stopped overnight at a mission on the frontier of civilization, and beyond that was a place where cannibals were alienated. The white wooden chapel was wrapped in the dark green jungle, and by the bonfire at night, the missionaries stationed told the new explorers about their missionary achievements: "These textbooks have made the children understand that they are Peruvian, and when I ask them who they are When they are not Indians, they answer no, those who can't wash clothes, can't read and write in the upper reaches of the river are Indians." They all say that "Apocalypse Now" is a reference to Herzog's two "Amazon Rivers" There are many tributes and imitations, and the French family scene's re-enactment of this scene couldn't be more obvious. Civilization attempts to civilize barbarism, barbarism is also counteracting civilization, and jungle plants want to re-cover cultivated farmland. This contradiction is especially obvious in Latin America. Among the many idealistic films, the extraordinary handling of "Overland Boat" should belong to its unparalleled "land boat" practice orz. Everyone is using movies to create or tell miracles, and Hull Zog was not satisfied with this, but religiously produced a miracle - the next thing to do is to make it into a movie. The extreme boat uses special effects. The flow of the river was reversed when the boat entered the water.

    [raises glass]

    Rubber Baron: Cheers!

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': As true as I am standing here, one day I shall bring grand opera to Iquitos. I will outgut you. I will outnumber you. I will outbillion you. I will outrubber you. I will outperform you. Sir, the reality of your world is nothing more than a rotten caricature of great opera.

    Molly: Fitz, Fitz, let's go. This man is no opponent. He's as dead as a doornail.

    Rubber Baron: Madam, I'm still standing firm on both my legs.

    Molly: You're a big game hunter, aren't you?

    Rubber Baron: What's that got to do with it?

    Molly: Then you should know: When you shoot an elephant, he sometimes stays on his legs for ten days before he topples over. Good night!

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': How can anyone learn patriotism from a school book?

    Young Missionary: The Government requires it.

    Old Missionary: The natives get used to it. Like vaccination.

    Young Missionary: The children already feel like little Peruvians. The other day I asked them, "Are you Indians?" "No," they said, "not we, the ones up the river, they are Indians." And then I asked. "What are Indians?" "They said to me "Indians are people who can't read and who don't know how to wash their clothes."

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': And what about the older people?

    Old Missionary: Well, we can't seem to cure them of the idea that our everyday life is only an illusion, behind which lies the reality of dreams.

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Actually, I'm very interested in these ideas. I specialise in opera myself.
