    I was deeply impressed by Herzog's personal charm. The impact and collaboration of modern civilization and prehistoric civilization created this great work. I was greatly touched by this unyielding dream-making spirit. Thanks to the movie, I had the opportunity to dream and meet...

    "In the eyes of others, I'm daydreaming, but I must do it. I don't want to be a person without dreams. Such a life has no meaning." He used his own experience and his own movies to tell people that having Dreamers, whether successful or not, have proud and great souls. Dreams will be burdened, because we are burdened to...

    Dare to announce to the world that a daydream, and have the courage and perseverance to realize it, Herzog once again proved that the movie is indeed a dream machine; The best explanation for "man is determined to conquer the sky"; the unassuming low-key, vaguely revealing amazing firmness, I don't agree with calling him a lunatic, how delicate the testimonials about nature and human nature at the end, how lonely and pessimistic behind the...

    Boating on land is a belief. Jaw-dropping, sweating, a layer of mist floating on the Amazon River, and the big screen showed that hazy dream-like state that belonged to the person at that time and place: halo? After staying for four years, the boat crossed the hill, He Suo said that nature is so cruel, "I don't see any love thing here, I only see incest, suffocation, and struggle for survival, growth, decay." He scolded the jungle, saying that the stars in the sky were no longer bright. Well,...

    Not only are these my own dreams, but I believe these dreams are yours too. The only difference between you and me is that I can articulate it clearly, and that's what poetry, pictograph, or filmmaking is all about. This is my responsibility, because this is, perhaps, our mental journey. We have to express ourselves clearly, otherwise we are no different from salted...

    "we have to articulate ourselves, otherwise we will be struggling in the field." "I see fornication and exficiation and choking and fighting for survival and gorwing and just rotting away, of course it has a lot of misery, but it's the same misery that are all around us, overwhelming and collective murder, and we in compare to all the obscenity...

    Our dreams, discovering the unknown, pushing the limits, loving the world humbly; even though it is madness at the risk of our lives. Without dreams, what is the difference between people and salted...

    At that moment, he was a god - Herzog and his "boat on land"

    I became more and more unsure of my own memory, because I found that many plots in the movie had become blurred, and I even forgot why he did it, but only that scene was clear and deeply etched in my mind.

      I will always remember that moment. After watching a movie for a day, my brain was a little...

    Herzog on nature

    "Of course we are challenging nature itself and it hits back. It just hits back that's all. And that's grandiose about it and we have to accept that it is much stronger than we are. Kiniski always says it's full of erotic elements I don' t see so much erotic I see it more full of obscenity it's...

Burden of Dreams quotes

  • Film Crew Interviewer: Were you afraid of the gringos when you came here?

    Young Campas Native Woman: No, I wasn't afraid, because I understood what they were doing. My friend Walter told me it was all lies.

    Film Crew Interviewer: What did they tell you? That the gringos would take off your face?

    Young Campas Native Woman: Yes, they'll take off your face and use your fat for airplanes.

    Miguel Ángel Fuentes: We're not like the Jivaros who shrink heads this small.

    [laughs]

    Young Campas Native Woman: I told him I'd rather get out of here before they do that to me. When my friends arrived and saw the camps, they were really afraid. I told them, "Don't be afraid." They said "They're all just waiting to kill us." "No, no, they've been waiting for you." Atalaina told them, "The doctor will give you an injection and take your blood and put poison in your veins. You'll die by the time you get back to your village." They were so afraid.

    Miguel Ángel Fuentes: It's not true.

    Young Campas Native Woman: And, "Don't eat too much of what they offer. They give you this much. Don't eat it all, because they'll fatten you up to kill you."

  • Narrator: As Herzog puts it, "Everyday life is only an illusion, behind which lies the reality of dreams."
