A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Is yet to be understood why Werner Herzog keep trying to obliterate his own legendary career producing films like the recent 'Salt and Fire'. Films that doesn't match his glorious cinematographic oeuvre. With 'Salt and Fire', the director wasted another opportunity to keep his mouth shut and preserve his glories from the past. In the process, he would have saved people time and resources. In the last few years, the impression is that Herzog was caught in his own myth, this 'Guerrilla Filmmaking' thing, the myth of the one who dropped the film school and by walking on foot and watching birds, understood how life works. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with this approach (when it's authentic), there is experiences that really makes one more sensitive to the nuances of life and it's complications. The problem is when this 'Rogue' thing turns into a brand for it's own sake, then when it's packaged and sold, the outcome is an unsalted product like 'Salt and Fire', a film that forces the viewer to be aware of the time wasting process. Herzog must have called his actors to a friend trip to Bolivia and said ''Don't worry, let's see what happen there, we need no script, let's improvise the whole thing up''. I constantly had the feeling of being wasting my potential as human being watching an exercise in bad taste aesthetic indulgence like this film is. I felt ashamed for Werner's narrowness. The film is just stupid and pointless at all senses. Judging by the film topics, it seems the director learned nothing from his life time experiences. Is sad to think of a guy who almost 50 years ago made a film like 'Even Dwarfs Started Small', with a filmography that includes films as 'Aguirre', 'Kaspar Hauser' and 'Fitzcarraldo' came up in 2016 with a film like 'Salt and Fire', permeated with shameful, stupid, beaten up philosophic morals that for a moment I thought he was joking, making a parody or mocking something. Sadly, this was not the case. It was a tragedy. This film is totally chicken.

The first hour of this movie is pretty bad, story/ acting, pointless flashback. but the last half hour is spectacular. worth watching for the end. maybe skip to it.

You might enjoy this movie if you like to see molasses flowing down a glacier. You might enjoy this movie if you like pretentious dialog delivered with a strange, foreign rhythm and ponderous translation. You might enjoy this movie if you like a 'save the Earth' message carved into a baseball bat, that is then used to knock you repeatedly over the head. You might enjoy this movie if you like to see endless, boring terrain shots.You might enjoy this movie if you are a cinema masochist looking to severely torture yourself.If you don't adhere to any of the above mentioned criteria, I would strongly suggest passing on this one. Toward the end, I was holding a box cutter to my throat...

Don't waste your time. Kept waiting for the movie to pick up but it never did. Ending was flat. The verbiage felt like I was watching a dubbed cheap foreign film. Big thumbs down. I gave this film a 2 instead of a one only because there are some beautiful scenery shots of the salt flats and surrounding landscapes.
