Jump to mention

“A very recent book by an American writer called Evan Bulkin, which argues that Aguirre was the first revolutionary in the context of mid-century Spanish America.”

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: European exploration history
For: History enthusiasts and film buffs
Key quote: “I am the wrath of God.”
The host mentioned 'Wrath of God' to highlight the chaotic and destructive nature of the 16th-century Spanish expedition into the Amazon, as depicted in the film directed by Werner Herzog. This film serves as a cinematic reflection of the madness and folly associated with such historical explorations.
