Aguirre wants to marry his daughter and be the greatest conqueror and rebel. He doesn't want gold, power and glory, but he wants to be the wrath of God.
what is this?
I think it would be cruel to die because of the greed of the colonists. It would be cruel to show the innumerable evils and then be taught. This is correct, but it is a bit preaching. Like Japanese movies.
The story now is that everyone else is taking risks for honor, country, greed, freedom, money, and power. But the desire of mental illness has nothing to do with immediate benefits. The self-fulfillment he wants is to be a Satan-like existence. Nietzsche was used for the Dutch index. He does not want to be the little emperor of the indigenous people, but the king of the earth and the world. He saw the waters where the creation hadn't been completed, and wanted to take over the gods. No one has come before. So it is cruel that people who were originally motivated by greed (because of their own sinful nature) are held hostage by a devil (Aguirre) and endured hardships (not at all tragic, not for a noble and legitimate purpose). But because of sin and stiff necks, God deliberately indulged them with contempt, allowing the natives to abuse them), no time to mourn and were killed. This is the anger of God. In this story, not only on the level of moral good and evil, but also see how God destroys people when they want to replace God.
There are many records of God's anger in the Old Testament because the Israelites did not obey God's will and commandments and wanted to reach Canaan on their own. Therefore, in some wars, they were defeated by foreigners in Canaan, and God also brought disasters among them. Later I felt that I was talking about Hitler.
