They were Machiguengas, these
two here, and a lot of Campas, too.
:53:11
Normally, they speak very softly
and physical contacts are gentle.
:53:19
They were afraid. They would sit
huddled together, whispering.
:53:40
Towards the end of shooting one
of the chiefs came to me and said:
:53:45
"You probably realized that we were
afraid, but not for one moment...
:53:51
...were we scared of that screaming
madman, shouting his head off."
:53:54
They were actually afraid of me,
because I was so quiet.

Kinski's fits can partly be explained
by his egocentric character.
:54:10
Egocentric is perhaps not the right
word; he was an outright egomaniac.
:54:16
Whenever there was a serious
accident, it became a big problem...
:54:21

no longer the center of attention.
:54:24
He was no longer important.

Once, a lumberman was bitten
by a snake while cutting a tree.
:54:34
This only happened once in 3 years,
with hundreds of woodcutters...
:54:38
...in the jungle who always worked
barefoot with their chain saws.
:54:42
The snakes naturally flee from the
smell of gasoline and the noise.
:54:48
Suddenly this chuchupe
struck the man twice.
:54:54
This was the most
dangerous snake of all.
:54:57
It only takes a few minutes
before cardiac arrest occurs.
