A hymn written by the devil to the devil

In this world, what is more dazzling than the heroic sympathy is the crazy sympathy of the geeks and lunatics, such as Herzog and Kinsky in the film industry. One is an "anti-human" director, and the other looks like a lion ( If you like football, you can also say that he looks like Kahn) an actor who often loses control of his emotions. They have collided five times, leaving behind outstanding works such as "Aguirre, God's Wrath", "A Boat on Land", and "Wocek". At the same time, when the two cooperated, there were often conflicting news. In particular, the rumor that Herzog forced Kinsky to make a film with a pistol has become the most unusual "tradition" in film history. However, they seem to be in conflict and they have a unique friendship. Yes, since the two are regarded as extraordinary by ordinary people, they naturally have their own way of communication. Therefore, after Kings Chi died of illness in 1991, 8 years later In 1999, Herzog filmed a documentary dedicated to Kinsky, "My Devil", from which we can not only look back at the history of their cooperation, but also see the uniqueness between Herzog and Kinsky. Friendship.

It can be said that Herzog’s life is an "anti-human" life. His works can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category tells how fucking people live in civilized society, people are forced, and people are forced to death. In the works, he usually loves letting the protagonist commit suicide; the other is about how beautiful the scenery and creatures are in the beautiful nature, and how amazing people are when they arrive, such as turning a boat over a mountain. For such a director, the actors who came to work with are often talented. Two of them impressed me. One was Bruno, the son of a prostitute, who was often beaten and scolded. He was deaf when he was three years old. Wandering in various mental hospitals and welfare homes until Herzog discovered him from a documentary, and took him to film "The Mystery of Gas Hober" and "The Wandering Story of Schuxi", which made civilized society look very Uncivilized work. The other is Klaus Kinsky. His youth was not as bumpy as Bruno, but he had a maniac temperament, perfectionist tendencies, and irritable mood. The world is often not so perfect, so a perfectionist A grumpy man often has grandiose emotional outbursts that can be expected. However, it is this kind of personality that allows Kinsky to interpret the character's personal style. The sparks of Herzog's collision with him can also be expected. Sometimes, you feel that the role of the two people in the film is simply It's none other than Kinsky.

The most famous films the two have collaborated on are "Aguirre, God's Wrath" and "A Boat on the Land", and in "My Devil", a large number of images and retrospectives also come from these two films. In the film, Herzog meticulously recalled important events in the shooting process, especially when the budget was limited and the shooting conditions were difficult, the friction and joy between Jinsky and him, and the shooting team. In the film, Kinsky recorded a rant to the producer during the filming of "A Boat on the Land", and he saw his words continuously explode, leaving the producer nowhere to interject, but smoking smoky smoke. , Herzog on the side snarled at Jinsky "How can you find such a birdman to be your producer", and could only wait for him to continue snarling blankly. Of course, Herzog is also extraordinary. In the film, he also told the rumors that he forced Kinski to make a film with a pistol. He admitted that he did "threat" Kinski so much, and Kinski seemed to be so "threatening" at the time. I am also scared. I feel that Herzog is going to play for real, and the nearest police station is too far away. However, Herzog also said that the media said that he was pointing a gun at Kings in front of the camera. Ji's statement is an exaggeration. It is just these two strange chemical elements that collide with a violent chemical reaction, which looks very disharmonious and unharmonious. However, each other's persistence in the pursuit of perfection and personal style has left a few wonderful films in the history of the film. "Compound", they are "enemies" and even more "friends". It is difficult for us to understand their friendship, and only Herzog can write from the heart for his devil friend with "My Devil" A hymn to the devil, of course, the film is not so enthusiastic to say that Kinsky will be immortal, but restoring his emotions, his appearance, and his wildness is itself the best memorial to him!

At the beginning of "My Devil", Kinsky, like a rock star, yelled at the microphone in an unbelievable posture. A staff member came up and wanted to take him away, but he didn't care whether he said or acted. Improper or gaffe. Because he is Kinsky, an actor with a special personality, a rebellious lion, and an actor who claims to have rejected the invitation of director N many. It seems that only Herzog has mastered Kinsky’s "Manual". Presented the most wonderful works. The friendship between Kinsky and Herzog is full of magical stories and rumors. However, I prefer to see a scene in the film where the two people embrace each other after a meeting. Both of them appear less arrogant and more old. The joy and warmth of meeting friends. And at the end, Kinsky played with the butterfly on his fingertips with a child-like expression and ecology. It seemed so engaged and so enjoyable. The maverick is easy to misunderstand. Fortunately, Kinsky has a friend like Herzog who likes to remember and talk, and he restores his more truth with this "My Devil". My devil, my friend, and the memories of Herzog will let you know more about Kinsky, a great actor, and an unruly soul. He left, but left behind wonderful works that collided with Herzog. , Leaving its unique position in movie history, waiting for more viewers to appreciate the charm of the demons.

  • Werner Herzog: Every grey hair on my head, I call Kinski.

  • Beat Presser: [Herzog and Presser are looking at Presser's famous picture of Kinski trying to strangle Herzog] I truly like this very much. It happened because he must have sensed the presence of your camera.

    Beat Presser: He also just wanted to let you have it, didn't he?
