1. Herzog said: "My films are born out of a very strong fascination, and I know that I see things that people have not seen and have not known. The films I make are different from those of other directors, It's very tempting. I'm showing in the film what I've seen that no one else has seen or recognized, and the characters I've created are surreal, literary, and grotesque 2. This film is a conscious effort by Herzog to have a larger audience. It's a genre film, a hard-hitting adventure, and on the surface it has all the hallmarks of the genre, but at a deeper level it contains something newer and more complex. The film was a test for Herzog. If it fails, he will no longer be able to make any films that might go international, and will have to go back to his old niche films.

The film contains brutish and greedy leaders, trumped-up democracy and the rule of law, over-the-top slogans, unrealistic plans, atheism, and one word, and in the end it leaves everyone on the ship miserable. I can't help but smile when I see it. History is supposed to be advancing towards civilization, but the times are reversing, just like the use of "jungle" in this movie as a metaphor for primitiveness and barbarism. From the first picture, you can feel the director's madness for movies, and the handheld photography deconstructs the classicism of costume films, making young people have the urge to shoot movies. No wonder He Suo is regarded as an idol by Yang Dechang.
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.
