ship in the tree


Was that a group hallucination or was it actually there? I dont see how water levels could rise 50 or 100 or 150 feet and leave a ship in the top of a tree. Must have been a hallucination right?

I think so too, but more than one of them saw it..

I don't know how the boat got there, I don't think Herzog had the budget to fly it up there with a helicopter.

Beats the hell out of me bro.

Just saw it for the 1st time last night. Amazing movie btw. I believe they just thought it was hallucinations because, hell, how often do you find a boat at the top of a tree lol.

I think that the point of the ship in the tree was it's ambiguity of the perception itself. They have stopped trusting their senses.

We'll always have Paris.

In the original script it was intended to be real, and evidence of a previous expedition that ended in tragedy and death. Herzog later decided it worked better as a vision
