This is a great story about when power gets put in the hands of a person who is not in touch with reality. this story is about how one person can gather such a following that the entire group can fall off course. even in the end when everyone is dead but him, he looks out into the vast emptiness and asks "who is with me!" Aguirre leads with such terror, he scares people into following him under his reign. there is one scene where a few people disagree with his choices and they are immediately shot by Aguirre's faithful followers. at once point during the mission one of his faithful followers begin to secretly question Aguirre, and is beheaded. There are many leaders in history who get fixated on an unrealistic reality and somehow enroll many others into believing that it is right and achievable. Hitler decided that there should be a world of just a "clean race" and some how got a great amount of people to believe in him. this is a very scary thing when people are naive and ignorant. we must think for ourselves and stand up for what we believe in.
