    3.5-. The similarity of Herzog's paranoia to Fitzcarraldo's is not a factor to consider when evaluating a film, just as metamorphic coincidences shouldn't be a plus. Other than that, the film has no bright spots. Although it is still quite good-looking, the interest comes more from the dramatic tension provided by the script and Kinski's performance, rather than the miracles on the video, so it belongs to the kind of strong setting. A driven, unreasonable romantic/dark comedy film, written in a...

    lonely other. Repeatedly consuming life in meaningless acts like Sisyphus, it's just that Fitzcarraldo finds the meaning of life in the process of sailing on the road. "The person who is obsessed with meaningless things", it is good to have something to say. Don't want to compromise, you can only survive by being...

    If only I could be an idealistic paranoid dreamer like Herzog and Fitzcarrador. The right time, place and people will follow~ There is a question, Herzog really let the big ship pass through the mountains, but is it really okay to cut down so many trees? -...

    Money and religion are the two things that drive people crazy, but art completely conquers them. No matter what cultural background or religion one is in, the sense of accomplishment of man as the greatest being in nature is the most...

    The madness and dreams of the brainless fans. Savage and civilized. It is said that this lunatic Herzog really dragged a big ship over a mountain in order to make this movie. What he did was not a movie, but...

    Herzog always makes this kind of weird movie that strikes me as unreasonable. ....

    (Spoiler included) The brain made up a game. After the colonists landed in Minecraft, the vision was Pokemon-style 2D low-pixel. You are an ice maker and your ultimate mission is to build an opera house deep in the jungle. Sounds like a middle school game setting. You bought a boat with a wealthy businessman and got a big mechanic who doesn't talk much. Recruiting seamen, a drunk named Willie came, and when he got close to him, he said some crazy words. upstream. Go to the station first, rail...

    It's better to see how this director wrote how to make a movie than to watch this movie. Another film that has been sealed on the altar, I can't watch it at all. If you want to ask me which old directors I prefer, I can only say that it is indeed Fellini who understood it early on, watched it, and was shocked. For a movie like this that can't be watched, forget...

    Rainforest Opera House

    What kind of whimsy, lofty ambition, to build an opera house in the rainforest? I want you to appreciate the most beautiful and profound notes in this world, and remove ignorance.

    Listening to the mysterious sound emanating from the depths of the rainforest, the protagonist places the record player...

Fitzcarraldo quotes

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': How can anyone learn patriotism from a school book?

    Young Missionary: The Government requires it.

    Old Missionary: The natives get used to it. Like vaccination.

    Young Missionary: The children already feel like little Peruvians. The other day I asked them, "Are you Indians?" "No," they said, "not we, the ones up the river, they are Indians." And then I asked. "What are Indians?" "They said to me "Indians are people who can't read and who don't know how to wash their clothes."

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': And what about the older people?

    Old Missionary: Well, we can't seem to cure them of the idea that our everyday life is only an illusion, behind which lies the reality of dreams.

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Actually, I'm very interested in these ideas. I specialise in opera myself.
