Herzog's film ends with Fitzcarraldo
achieving a victory of sorts.
1:30:17
He sells his battered steamship
and makes just enough money...
1:30:20
to bring a small-time opera troupe
to Iquitos for a single performance.
1:30:25
In the end, Herzog won
a painful victory ofhis own.
1:30:28
After months of work, using heavier equipment
and a new engineering crew from Lima...
1:30:33
he pulled the ship to the top of the hill...
1:30:35
and in November, 1981...
1:30:37
almost four years
after preproduction began...
1:30:40
the last shot of Fitzcarraldo
was completed.
1:30:56
It's not only my dreams.
1:30:58
My belief is that
all these dreams are-
1:31:03
are yours as well.
1:31:07
And the only distinction between
me and you is that I can articulate them.
1:31:13
And that is what poetry or painting
or literature or filmmaking is all about.
1:31:18
It's as simple as that.
1:31:21
And I - I make films because...
1:31:24
I have not learned anything else.
1:31:27
And I know I can do it
to a certain degree.
1:31:33
And it is my duty...
1:31:35
because this, uh...
1:31:37
might be the- the inner chronicle
of what we are.
1:31:41
And we have to articulate ourselves...
1:31:43
otherwise we would be
cows in the field.
