The whole movie I kept thinking about how did a diary from the 1560s written in ink survive all that water and after being left somewhere in the Amazon, and how did the monk write anything after the bottle of ink was drunk by a soldier, only to find out it was fiction. Was this a comedy?

That was a friar, not a monk.

How would someone think it not needed to fill the reader in re what C, T, and the other rating letters are for?

The letters C, T, N & S are the initials of the Reids on Film crew, and show our individual scores out of 100.

The Herzog's work leaving the deeper impression in me was *Fata Morgana*.

Rationally, there would be no reason for that — but watching it has been a milestone in my motion picture watching history from the first day to now, some ten years later.

The scene where that woman plays the piano... I would have no idea why I not only remember, but feel it on a gut level, a decade later.

Ah, Fata Morgana… that is a new film to me. Perhaps one to add to our list.
