1:28:04
Before Herzog can
get the ship back to camp...
1:28:06
it runs aground on a sandbank.
1:28:09
He can't film the final scenes in Iquitos
without the ship...
1:28:11
so he has to wait for the rainy season
to flood the river and lift it off the sand.
1:28:16
But as month follows month
in the longest dry season in recorded history...
1:28:20
the ship remains stuck.
1:28:22
The other ship is stuck too-
at the bottom of the hill.
1:28:25
In fact, the whole film is stuck.
1:28:31
If I believed in the devil,
I would say the devil was right here...
1:28:35
and is still right here.
1:28:37
It becomes very questionable
because, uh...
1:28:40
people have lost their lives.
1:28:44
People have been in a plane crash,
and five of them in critical condition -
1:28:48
one of them paralyzed.
1:28:53
And those are all the costs
that you have to pay.
1:28:55
It could have hit me...
1:28:58
or anyone.
1:29:01
And one starts to question the -
the profession itself.
1:29:06
What are your plans when this
movie's all over? What are you gonna be doing?
1:29:11
I shouldn't make movies anymore.
1:29:14
I should go to a lunatic asylum right away.
1:29:18
But I don't know.
It's, uh -
1:29:23
Very much of it is - is too crazy
and too, uh -
1:29:28
Just not - not what a man
should do in his life all the time.
1:29:33
And I feel, uh -
1:29:35
If- Even if I get that boat over the mountain
and somehow I finish that film...
1:29:41
anyone can congratulate me
and talk me into finding it marvelous.
1:29:46
I - Nobody on this earth
will convince me to be happy about all that.
1:29:52
Not - Not until the end of my days.
