Everything you have...is a dream!

Two and a half hours of feature film, plus one and a half hours of production documentary.

This was filmed in 1982 when there were no stunts - pulling a 300-hundred-ton boat over a 40-degree mountain, letting the boat drift on the Nu River in the real Amazon, documenting the truth of the Indians - it's all true , it's really outrageous - so some people say it's a crazy movie, from the director to the actors.

This is a narrative that really happened in the jungle of South America in the last century - the unfinished area of ​​God, when civilization did not happen, it was as real as today - all of this is fake, the director just wants to say one of his dreams - So some people say it's a movie about dreams, including us who have seen it.

And what I see is - have it!

What Westerners have is an impossible dream, then make it happen!
What the locals have is the dream of possibility and then hope for it! !
What we have is a real dream, then break it! ! !

Only us behind the screen - the possession of reality...is a dream!

    The biggest significance of this film lies in the theme-a story of a dream chaser who is willing to give everything for a whim. This is also the realm of Herzog and Kinsky's dreams: no matter how extreme, how can you know the result if you haven't tried it? And to me, dreams are everything I have. . But as far as the film itself is concerned, there are some running accounts for this film. Generally speaking, I can’t say that I don’t like it, but the rhythm is not as catching as "Aguirre".

    8.4 It was a broken boat when it left, but it was still a broken boat when it came back. Who knows when it comes to boating on land? I saw it with my own eyes, I experienced it with my own eyes. Applause I look for the dream, although everything is madness.
