Estebán.
1:11:17
Be careful when we hit
so you don't fall off.
1:11:23
Boom.
1:11:25
Well, the boat that Fitzcarraldo
actually pulled across was only 30 tons.
1:11:29
- Yes.
- And how big is your boat?
1:11:31
Besides, they, uh, disassembled it
in about 14 or 15 parts...
1:11:37
and carried these parts individually
across a mountain.
1:11:41
And, um...
1:11:44
I find it much better to -
to leave it intact as it is.
1:11:47
Like this here.
And you can tell the difference -
1:11:50
that this is not a plastic boat
and that this -
1:11:53
that this slope here is no -
no joke at all.
1:11:57
The central metaphor of my film...
1:11:59
is that they haul a ship over
what's essentially an impossibly steep hill.
1:12:05
If I lose that by using a level terrain...
1:12:08
like the Panama Canal...
1:12:11
I lose the central metaphor
of my film.
1:12:16
For this reason, we don't agree.
1:12:20
As I've said,
I'd like to take a bit greater risk...
1:12:24
than what you advise.
1:12:26
Laplace Martins, a Brazilian engineer...
1:12:29
has worked out a complicated system
to pull Herzog's ship over the hill...
1:12:32
with cables, pulleys and the bulldozer.
1:12:35
But the system is designed
for a 20-degree slope.
1:12:38
Herzog insists on 40 degrees.
1:12:40
The system has already failed once.
1:12:43
Martins is afraid people will die
if it tears apart again.
1:12:49
About 60 men will work on this big capstan.
1:12:54
This is one of the places
of greatest potential danger.
1:12:57
If the tractor pulls loose
from the pulley system...
