If you want to criticize me, first review yourself; at the beginning of the film, Kinsky yelled to the people in the theater: I am not Jesus, not your superstar. There is not much information available for Klaus Kinski on the Internet. The most famous one is the three things Herzog said when he revisited their old house at the beginning of the article: He once locked himself in the toilet and used a full 48 The toilet, water tank, and glass inside were destroyed in a few hours, and finally foamed and taken away by the police; because the shirt collar was not ironed, he yelled at the kind landlord like a beast for several hours; When critics praised his excellent acting and special, he angrily threw tableware and food on each other's face, shouting: "I am not outstanding, or special, I am immortal, I am epoch-making!" . As an actor, Klaus Kinsky is different from some big-name celebrities in that he is a true lunatic. This is what Herzog calls the "extreme egoist".
Kinsky was born in the Free City of Danzig during the First World War, moved to Berlin as a child, and returned to Germany after the war to devote himself to drama. Herzog said he was self-taught. At that time, as a monologue actor, this person would practice his voice and speaking non-stop in the cabinet for more than ten hours. After he became famous, he would not hesitate to say that some of his films were "junk". As widely evaluated, Herzog and Kinsky collaborated on five of the most famous films. Among them, "The Scourge", "A Boat on the Land" and "African Black Slaves" were all filmed in extremely harsh environments. During this period, Kinsky naturally caused trouble to the crew, extras and local aborigines. The Indians were very frightened when filming "Ship on the Land" and asked Herzog to kill him. On the contrary, several actresses who collaborated with Kinsky in the film unanimously commented on him as caring, gentle, or even cute. For Herzog, who almost murdered him, he recalled in this documentary many years later that Kinsky looked like a parent treating a wicked child, angry, helpless and loving. At an American film festival, Kinsky, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, smiled and pretended to bite Herzog's ear and said, I told them that I had never seen you. After "African Slaves", the two parted ways.
Kings genetic heart disease died in California in 1991. In 1988, the self-written, directed and acted "Paganini" has long black hair and is full of scenes of sex and animal abuse, making viewers feel concerned. Because of this script, which he repeatedly urged Herzog to shoot with his madness and passion, he even substituted into his life. Just like himself, extremely paranoid but real. As Herzog said, he burned himself like a comet. At the end of the film is Kinsky's smile. Once, the crew of "A Boat on the Land" sailed to the jungle in a boat. The strong wind blows Kinsky while playing in a yellow raincoat. He looks like he wants to fly away. Herzog's narrator said, haven't I noticed that his soul wants to fly away. In the last scene, Kinsky is facing the camera, fiddling with a butterfly around him. This little life does not leave him, nor is he afraid... With the end of the documentary, this scene lingers in my mind for a long time.
"This is how I keep him deep in my memory."
