Aguirre Wrath of God is a very famous movie of Herzog. It’s a representation of a real story. It’s the story of the priest, he was one of the Spaniards who came to Latin America, and he wrote a diary of all the things that happened, so based on that text is how the movie was planned.
It starts when the famous general, Francisco Pizarro organized two groups, in one of them was Aguirre, the crazy man how shot his general, and began to rule that group, they were searching for the city of El Dorado. They thought that if they found it they would become very rich, because there it was all the gold, and richness. In the trip they found two Pre-Columbians, (this is shown in the movie when they were in a ship, and they saw a canoe, in that canoe there were two Pre-Columbians, a woman and a man, they had necklaces of gold) when they saw that, Aguirre asked them where they found that, and they showed them where, so they began to go in that direction.
Aguirre wanted to conquer that territory, but they were few Spaniards and it was impossible, to do so. The trip was very difficult also because of the weather and all the mosquitos and sickness that were in the Amazonas. At the end, all of them die because of all these problems, but at least Aguirre dies fighting for the thing he wants.
All the people think that for the Spaniards the conquest of America was easy because they had weapons, ships, a lot of men, but this movie shows that it was difficult for them too to conquer Latin America.
