The river in the film is memory, civilization, and time. The two civilizations do not know which is the snake and which is the leopard. Those who used to treat patients with sincerity can only see the disappearance of Cuyana, but those who are deceived by false hearts are able to drink this magical plant. It is the understanding of the lonely natives for many years, and it is the continuation of the patient's life after 40 years. The embrace of the earth is the guide of the son of the python and the dream. The mysterious totem painting presents the wisdom and philosophy of the indigenous people. Kulamekad merged the two civilizations. He restored his soul to this homeland, and was brought to us by the healed white people.

    The linear time of modern people is circular in the eyes of Indians; modern people finally reach violence and nothingness by means of rational tools and the passion of faith, and Indians achieve self-integrity by virtue of dreams and hallucinations and the unity of the world; what is civilization? Why barbarism? And a mix of the two usually brings the worst, like the man-eating Messiah in the movie. This has been and is happening in South America, Africa, Asia.

Embrace of the Serpent quotes

  • Old Karamakate: To become warriors, the cohiuanos must abandon all and go alone to the jungle, guided only by their dreams. In this journey, he has to find out, in solitude and silence, who he really is. He must become a wanderer dream. Many are lost, and some never return. But those who return they are ready to face what is to come.

  • Young Karamakate: Knowledge belongs to all. You do not understand that. You are just a white man.
