This bizarre movie evokes goosebumps for those who believe in their dreams. Yet, what about those who must grapple with the repercussions of such dreams, often silenced due to their lack of a voice, seemingly "paid" for sacrificing their land due to ignorance? The film sheds light on the dominance of white characters, leaving few opportunities for Indigenous voices, primarily confined to laborious tasks. It prompts us to listen to their voices truly. I'm uncertain if they experienced the same delight as Fitzcarraldo.
As a great producer, the film achieves the essence of a compelling narrative. However, it is not achieved by listening to the voices of the indigenous people, portraying them as mere servants or employees exploited by those who seize their land.
Where are their voices? Where is the documentary presenting their perspectives, opinions, and thoughts on the movie? This remains a question. Good movie bad documentary 3 star
