I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fantastic!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

El Abrazo de la Serpiente is a thoughtful drama of two adventurers and their search for how to connect with the spiritual world of the Amazon rainforest. The movie implies notions of magical realism the convey an otherworldly feeling about the setting and how the people perceive their surroundings. Although the decision to film in black-and-white might put off some viewers at first, the movie's cinematography doesn't lack impressive exterior shots and draws the viewer's attention more towards the characters. In the end, El Abrazo de le Serpiente becomes an inherent progressive - if not overtly positive - view on tradition and cultural heritage, and is thus thematically much richer, than first the eye.Overall 8/10 Full review on movie-discourse.blogspot.de

(Flash Review)Not just relating to the Amazon River but the introspection of depth that the man seeking a rare healing plant must dive into in order to find it. That is the core story line but there is much more to it and open to one's personal perspectives. The film is shot in rich black and white and has two timelines. Two white men, 40 years apart or so locate the same native who knows where to find the plant. So you get the see the native as a young buck and a wise old man. The two timelines allow the viewer to see the effect of some modern cultures that have slipped into their primitive world over time. Yet another story nugget is more spiritual. Both searches (old and new) are on long journeys through the jungle and as they search the native encourages the white man to help locate the plant by looking into his soul and feel for it and ask the jungle for help. Pretty interesting film with great cinematography, authentic cultural scenes and some very surreal moments yet some may find the pace a bit sluggish.

Set in the early to mid-twentieth century in the Colombian Amazon, a shaman, who is the lone survivor of his tribe after it has been wiped out by the white man, guides two explorers on expeditions, forty years apart. Both white scientists seek a sacred plant with healing powers, both for different reasons.I first have to say that I saw this film with English subtitles that were, shall we say, a little uneven. I should have known I was in for an interesting ride when the English translation of the movie title came up as 'Hug a Snake'! So, I am pretty sure that several things must have been lost in such a translation. This is certainly a contemplative look at the effects of colonialism on the indigenous South American people of the Amazon. It does so it an admittedly very subtle manner, although we do see some of the effects that the rubber plantations and the spread of Catholicism had on the people of the area.If I'm being totally honest I did not fully connect with this film and I'm not sure it's all to do with the ropey English translation in the version I watched. I think it was more that its ideas of the spirit world and nature just didn't interest me very much. It is nevertheless quite obviously an impressive production on some ways though. The authentic use of indigenous dialect was something to be commended, while the black and white cinematography was good. Ultimately, the content wasn't really my cup of tea but I can still see some value in it.

This film, is not only great but a master piece. In a film industry so saturated by sequels, franchises and other such blockbusters that follow the Hollywood formula into an eternal cycle. Here, that is most interesting that it is in South America where he find its remedy. Never before have I seen a film so beautiful, so engulfing that I truly feel honoured to witness it. Portraying a naked view of humanity, and our weaknesses in the west. This film will not 'tell you' what to think, but provides a side that is rarely seen. A lost culture and so much lost knowledge. This movie is a tale in symbolism, in fantasy. A film which has an 'Apocalypse Now' feel to it. It is not afraid to expose harsh truths, nor is it one to mask naivety and ignorance of the indigenous populations. With the beautiful cinematography, incredible acting, and the note perfect music. This film is more than a work of art. It is a far cry from the golden age of film. And yet too, teaches us golden lessons in the purity, the simplicity of both nature and humanity.
