Fitzcarraldo (1982 PG)

   The movie stars klaus Kinski (Slaughter Hotel, Count Dracula), and Claudia Cardinale (Circus World, The Salamander).
   The plot is about a mans desire to make money in order to persue his passion.  To open an Opera house. 
   For a two and a half hour movie Im strugling to get started on the review.  The plot line on Netflix states Kinskis chaeracter is a rubber barron.  I did not pick up on that.  He has done a few things before the rubber job.  Im not convinced he has really succeded at anythng he has tried. 
   I think the best parts of the movie is the music selection that they play when showing the scenery.  That part of the review was right on.  The beauty of the country side is awe inspiring.  I could of seen alot more in the movie and been satisfied with it. 
  The look of Kinski character is nice.  The hair and raggety look of his hair adds a lot of understanding to the character.  I also like the fact that he is in the country side and he is in a white suit.  The white suit looks like something totally wrong for the envirment but adds to the crazyness of the chaeracter.
   When they get the boat to the other river it is a nice statement to always have hope.  It may also be something akin to "If Mohamed cant come to the mountain..." 
   I am trying to decide if the ending is happy and I think it is.  The statement being if you dont succede then maybe scale back the plan but dont let failure get the better of you.
   Im rating this as a bairly a C+.  The scenes of the environment, getting over to the other river and the ending I say go and stream it.  The two and a half hour running time is a drawback.  There was just enough for me to say see it but just bairly.
