Aguirre, the Wrath of God 1972

The original title of the film is Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes.

Like me making popcorn pizza, it's over-ambitious, lacking focus and a little messy.

I get that this is a huge classic and I understand why, I just don't feel it myself.

Yes, it's brilliantly filmed and directed, but I don't think the story flowed as smoothly as the Amazon river and the haphazard way the characters were dealt with kept pulling out of the film.

I believe the word "Slowly" should have been part of the title of this movie,

First Kinski and Herzog work together. Great acting, since the start I was amazed with the actors interactions and the Amazon set. The Popol Vuh score is really good, poor flute guy. That ending !!! The horror.

Alonsgside with the characters, I also (almost) went unhinged, but in my case it's becasue of boredom and not from the delusional seek for an unexisiting place in the middle of the Amazon. The ending salvaged it from total disinterest.
