You can also row a boat on land, don't say it's impossible

Before watching the movie, I searched for the introduction and said that the protagonist wants to build an opera house in the tropical rain forest. I thought to myself what this operation is and why it is built in the rain forest. I watched the movie out of curiosity.

Then I found out that this tropical rain forest is no longer primitive. It has been conquered by the rich and developed into a small town, and the aborigines there are working for these foreigners. In this way, it is possible to build an opera house. But apart from the woman who loves the male protagonist, no one is willing to invest and support him, because many of his ideas are very different from the businessmen who made their fortunes from rubber. . The male protagonist wants to open an opera house because he loves opera, not just to make money. Later, he bought a boat and found a suitable place to build an opera house, but he needs to transport the boat across the mountain, although I also I don't understand why he didn't go back the same way and insisted on doing this. According to the map he drew, it was a triangular terrain. There was a rapid current on the river where he was going to transport the boat. People help him by thinking about the rapids.

Originally, I thought it was impossible to transport a boat over the mountain. This is really a boat on land. I have to say that the translation is really good, but in fact, it is still possible if you think about it carefully. I didn’t expect the male protagonist and those Indians. It really did, although the tree-cutting part really caused me a lot of discomfort, and they opened the way and shipped the boat. Accidentally crossed the rapids and returned to the starting point. He used some of the money from the sale of the boat to invite people from the opera troupe to perform on the boat.

Although the ending did not indicate whether the male protagonist succeeded in building an opera house, at least we know that it is possible, not whimsical. The male protagonist has already succeeded in half, is it still far from building an opera house? So not everything is absolutely impossible. As long as there is a possibility, work hard to improve the probability of it, and the probability of success will also increase. Don't say it's impossible easily.

In the film, the director also shot a lot of natural scenery in the tropical rain forest, which is really beautiful, but in my opinion, this is a kind of contrast. Human beings are developing these original nature a little bit, making it gradually become a humanized nature. , I also see the destruction of nature by people.

In addition to the above, I also want to talk about the woman who loves the male protagonist. She really supports the male protagonist and makes selfless devotion. This reminds me of my parents. In fact, I am also facing the situation of "boating on land" like the male protagonist. I also want to make the unlikely possible, and my parents are supporting me selflessly. At this stage, this film has given me courage and confidence, and I hope I can have a good result in 2019, so that I can also build my own "opera house".

    There are almost absurd idealists both in and out of the play. Herzog took the lead in performing a land boat with guns and live ammunition in the tropical rain forest. In the end of the opera, the broken boat sailed crookedly on the river, a kind of breath that was held for a long time finally Feelings that can be exhaled; the rare geographical and humanistic features of the Peruvian rainforest also highlight the director’s skills in shooting documentaries in his early years | Commenting on the film: "The way we're doing it now makes the whole thing look like it's been transformed into an opera, an opera of feverish dreams and pure imagination. That's A highly stylized surging fantasy, part of the water vapour emanating from the jungle."

Fitzcarraldo quotes

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Is this a rubber tree?

    Don Aquilino: Right. "Hevea brasiliensis." They call the rubber tree "caoutchou," "tree that weeps." These bare-asses love flowery language. Gold, they call "sweat of the sun." Bees, "fathers of honey." You know, it's no easy job to discipline them, believe me.

  • Notary: Can I ask you a question of a personal nature? Do you really know what you're doing?

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': We're gonna do what nobody's ever done.

    Molly: We're going to be very, very rich.
