Aguirre, The Wrath of God*** German movie by director Werner Herzog. This is the first time I watched his movie. The movie is about a 16th century spanish commander and his hunger for power and fame. The movie ends as a tragedy with all his men dead. It is shot almost like a documentary with no background music. If you notice carefully, the director cheats in the end and includes some background music to produce the desired effect You can compare it to dead man or apocalypse now, in the sense that it is about a journey both physically and symbolically.
