Movie review
Aguirre Wrath of God. Werner Herzog. Rewatch also read an essay about it.
Very beautiful movie. Filmed on location in the Amazon jungle. Compelling story of violence and survival. Werner survived Klaus.
Nihilist to the extreme. What was the point, success is nothing , failure is nothing.
The point is if there is no point then live well and see the beauty,
Book reports. π Two little books about New Zealand I bought on holiday. Kiwis and Moas and New Zealand Tress and Ferns. Who knew kiwis were so aggressive! Moas are huge. Both were tasty. The trees and ferns are all very pretty. Opinion that NZ is to Australia what Australia is to the world confirmed, it's a very weird and pretty place with unique plants and animals.
Didnβt one of the locals offer to bump off Klaus because he was being so awful? (Or maybe that was Werner, I canβt remember). Itβs a trip of a movie!
everyone wanted to bump him off ...lol
