The power of fanatical pursuit of dreams.

Everyone has their own dreams, and it doesn't matter what we pay for our dreams, but we are paranoid like the protagonist, addicted to our own world, fight against nature, and even don't care about the lives of others. Admirable but not admirable. Appreciate that kind of desperate fanaticism. In such a society, such persistence is rare, and the human spirit can surpass everything. The final failure of the protagonist seems to be inevitable, but the behavior of the fanatical pursuit of dreams is deeply shocked. The human mind, at the end of the film, Algi stood alone on the bamboo raft and shouted to the sky: "I am the condemnation of God, who else will follow me." Rafting. This is how a madman's dream shatters or continues.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God quotes
-
Don Fernando de Guzman: It won't be much longer. El Dorado could be only a few days away. No more rust on the cannon. We shall shoot our enemies with golden bullets. And you, Okello, will serve food on golden platters.
Okello: All of us will get something out of this. Governorships, provinces, women. And perhaps I'll even be free.
Brother Gaspar de Carvajal: Let us not forget the most important part of our mission. To spread the Word of God to these savages.
Don Fernando de Guzman: I'm sure you'd like a golden cross encrusted with jewels instead of the silver one you lost.
-
Brother Gaspar de Carvajal: Things are not turning out as we expected. We see nothing but hunger and death. We lose men, but, never see the enemy. Until now, El Dorado has only been an illusion.
Don Lope de Aguirre: The conquest of Mexico was no illusion. If we turn back now, others will come, and they'll succeed. And we'll remain nobodies. Even if this land is only trees and water we'll conquer it.
