    Herzog took four years to make a film as crazy as himself, telling the story of a "boat on land" that took place in the tropical rainforest of South America with great fantasies and finally conquered the sky. The participation of the Indians and the inexhaustible difficulty of the mise-en-scene made the filming a documentary. It all reminds me of Kubrick, who was also crazy about "2001: A Space Odyssey," for which Herzog won the Best Director award at the Cannes Film...

    If the male protagonist is still Jack Nicholson, it will be even more brilliant. The last impressive applause of the parc villette open-air movie in 2009 said that the lunatic director actually dragged that boat over the mountain =...

    #HKIFF# Luckily asked two questions: I asked why there are violin-playing boys in both Landboat and Nosferatuli (and not in the Murnau version), Herzog said it was a coincidence balabalabala; I asked If I shoot the same theme again now, will I use CG? Herzoe ​​said that of course, I will use the live balabalabala. (How to improve the quality of the question, very...

    Finally saw the restored version on the big screen. Evaluating the grievances of Hersuo's charm with engineering feats alone, the film presents a religious "suffering" and creates a grand monument. Hersuo may be opposing a kind of god, and invisibly depicting a kind of god. All behaviors are "creations" that are rebellious to the end, and they are footnotes in every version of the world. The ending is also a stroke of genius. Miracles and voices are fleeting, not enough for...

    The slow-paced jungle adventure movie from the perspective of God is indeed an epic in terms of investment and production difficulty. The heroic dream of a straight...

    Rewatched on 6/21/2017. I'm about to do my graduation project again. The male protagonist who had been negotiated suddenly stopped acting as a substitute actor and did not reply to the email. Can't sleep and re-watch the land cruising again. Rising black smoke accompanied Verdi over the Amazon hills. Almost just after reading the reply letter received from the substitute actor, I was very cooperative and took the initiative to make an appointment to meet. It's boring to make movies. It's great...

    The director made the whole scene restore the natural beauty of the Amazon jungle while the scene scheduling is awesome. And the astonishing action of the film's narrative has prompted it to bring the audience a subversive audio-visual aesthetics. When the cruise ship entered the forest, the musical rhythm of the primitive tribe and the melody of the opera came out on the screen, and I have to say that this ideological metaphor is very strong. The whole process of pushing the boat also reflects...

Fitzcarraldo quotes

  • Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': Is this a rubber tree?

    Don Aquilino: Right. "Hevea brasiliensis." They call the rubber tree "caoutchou," "tree that weeps." These bare-asses love flowery language. Gold, they call "sweat of the sun." Bees, "fathers of honey." You know, it's no easy job to discipline them, believe me.

  • Notary: Can I ask you a question of a personal nature? Do you really know what you're doing?

    Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald - 'Fitzcarraldo': We're gonna do what nobody's ever done.

    Molly: We're going to be very, very rich.
