Smashing wine bottle on boat


It gives me shivers the way he talks about how he invites a friend onto his boat, then starts accusing him, then takes a wine bottle in that little room and smashes it on the table where they're sitting. He speaks about this occurence as if it's nothing. If that is not a psychopath... And why women would be attracted to a guy like that beats me...

Its a weird moment, isn't it? Wagner is fighting tears(and sometimes losing the fight) and struggling with the tale and then he gets into the "argument with Walken memory" and you can see a bit of the rage he exhibited that night.

Imagine how tense that must have been for everyone that night. Just the two men and the one woman on the boat(plus a mysteriously "not around" ship captain.) Wagner probably having an explosion of temper that likely put Walken wishing he was anywhere but there.

And they're all stuck on that boat!

There's a lot of family love demonstrated towards Wagner in this documentary, so I'm inclined to believe that Wood died trying to tie that dinghy to the boat when nobody was awake or award. But the circumstances that created the accident surely had something to do with several drunk and angry people in too small a space adjacent to the deep, cold, unforgiving sea.

They should have had a bigger boat...
