He has paid close attention to Herzog since "Aguirre". He has a passion for exploring the primitive jungle, and his oil painting-like colors and compositions also give people a beautiful enjoyment.
We all have wild ideas, but the director can weave a huge, subtle and true story and organize such a huge amount of human and material resources to realize it.
This ending, what a romantic person Herzog is!
I know what the high point of my image is: green plants and river water.
Just grabbing the giant wheel up the mountain and talking about the ins and outs, and finally the music played in the fantastic scene of the giant wheel going up the mountain, completing the six-star geese flying south.
Screenplay idea: Write a realistic story with an incredible idea as the source.
Modern people continue to speculate on the motives of the mysterious primitive man, and there is drama.
Boat on Land and Aguirre share the same theme: emphasizing the insignificance of human beings in their confrontation with Providence. But it is clear that this one goes further, because the ambition is more defiant and the scene is more magical.
notes:
The film is so real and simple, so unconcerned about technique, so devoutly holding on to the weight of dreams, it just needs to be shot bravely, not to be admired by future generations.
It does not focus on telling compelling stories, it is relatively loose and free in structure, does not pay attention to the logic and contradictions between plots, and has a prose style. In order to express a certain philosophical thought or emotional atmosphere, sometimes even the dramatic charm of the story itself is sacrificed.
Herzog's insistence on live-action brings intense texture and rich detail to the film, creating a peculiar authenticity. It also makes the filming itself a kind of "boat on land".
Crazy Herzog has always written only for explorers, idealists and don Quixotes.
Only by desperately disobeying the instinct of material existence can we see the miracle of boating on land for the first time; he said, we can obtain God's forgiveness only if the boat is reborn in the storm.
Thirty years later, the film still retains a certain specificity, refusing to be classified, and impossible to classify. It just represents the creation of a movie, the thing itself out of nothing.
