Herzog's films are always about extremes, extreme people doing extreme things. The arrogant attitude of modern civilization is reflected everywhere in the original scene, just like the Indian patriarch who threw the Bible to the ground was beaten to death. In the end, the civilization was defeated by the primitive, and Aguirre still stood on the raft, surrounded by dead and sick soldiers. He paid the price for arrogance and madness, but he did not know it. This is the most terrible story....

The second Herzog + Kinski film I watched after "Nosferatu", the rough and savage texture is reminiscent of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Although the direction of force is different, the mockery of grand words such as conquest and glory has the same goal. Aguirre is the epitome of the ambitions of the great colonial era. From abandoning the motherland, building puppets, false democracy to the blatant high-pressure politics in the later period, and finally to the bleak ending of nothing,...

#4Herzog# The new German film is a masterpiece of the gods, the miniature human evolution history in the closed rainforest, the endless greed for wealth, and the cruel power struggle. The group portraits have distinct characters, except for Aguirre, the stupid and cowardly puppet emperor, the priest who helped Zhou's abuse, and the wise and courageous leader's wife. The critique of religious hypocrisy is straight-forward. On the one hand, it is the arrogance of man's victory over the...

European countries are basically unified in Christianity, and there are relatively few conflicts. They thought they could preach wherever they went, but they were repeatedly shot by Indians with arrows. The scenery is good, the waterfall is turbulent. Die one by one, knowing that there is no return, or to explore. In the end, many monkeys eat human corpses, which is more...

road to destruction
Herzog and Kinski's first collaboration was such a crazy, brutal, dark, desperate movie. Everything about this movie is written on Kinski's face. Everything is the tranquility before the killing. A Spanish expedition encountered difficulties in the virgin forests of the South American continent,...

Aguirre, the Wrath of God quotes
-
Brother Gaspar de Carvajal: 'Thou lettest man flow on like a river, and Thy years know no end. As for man, his days are like grass as a flower on the field, so he blossoms. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more.' You know, my child, for the good of our Lord, the Church was always on the side of the strong.

Balthasar: I was a prince in this land. No one was allowed to look directly into my eyes. But now I'm in chains, like my people, and I must bow my head. Almost everything was taken from us. I can't do anything; I'm powerless. But I am also sorry for you, because I know there is no escape from this jungle.
Director: Werner Herzog
