I saw such a crazy movie at the beginning of the year, and I am afraid that the viewing experience of this year will not decline. Story madness, filming madness, ending madness, staff madness, the so-called extreme love of movies should be nothing more than that. Not only to make the dream big in the movie, but also to make this movie come true in the real shooting! You think the male protagonist in the movie is crazy and has to take a 340-ton ship over mountains and mountains, but in fact the director is crazy, he really let the ship "sail" up the mountain without special effects. The filming of the film took five years and was difficult to complete in the Peruvian Amazon jungle. The filming process of this film was made into the documentary "Burden of Dreams". The Germans, who are known for their strictness, are indeed crazy and crazy, and people can't help but feel awe.
The male protagonist Fitzcarrador is a dreamer, because he loves the operas of the famous singer Caruso, and hopes to build a world-famous opera house in his town, and invites Caruso to premiere. Without funds, he agreed to a local rubber tycoon to harvest rubber in an inaccessible jungle. There was only one river to reach this jungle, but the road had extremely dangerous rapids that no one could cross. Fitzcarrador decided to go upstream from the other river, reach the closest point of the two rivers and carry the boat over the mountain to the other river, so that there is no need to consider the danger of rapids. However, on this river, there are legendary cannibals...
It is said that during the shooting in the jungle, a staff member was bitten by a poisonous snake and cut off a limb immediately to survive. The difficulty of the shooting process can be imagined. Communicating with natives, competing with tropical jungles, and contending with gravity, it can be said that "On Land Boat" is the dream of director Herzog. People were always asking Fitzcalador "what the hell are you going to do" and his actions shocked everyone. Knowing that he couldn't do it, he smiled from the horizontal knife to the sky. This arrogance and loneliness was the most eye-catching.
When the giant ship was being dragged up the mountain, I watched the ship's body slowly move up and down with a long lens. This process was not tiresome at all. Instead, I felt the ecstasy of it as if I was there, and I had to hold back and wait anxiously. His heart, like champagne that has been shaken violently, eagerly awaits the outbreak of victory. And the hairstyle of the male protagonist also changes with the realization of the dream: at first, there are no head flies, and the hair is messy like a bird's nest. of coercion.
For the hero Fitzcarrador, is his behavior successful? Originally dreamed of building an opera house in a small town, and finally ended up inviting a band of singers he admired to sing on a huge ship that spanned thousands of miles. Half failed, half failed in rubber transportation; many people admired his madness, only the lover who opened a brothel who spent all their money for him; the most undesired rapids were taken by the natives with ulterior motives, and the ship of dreams also crashed became tattered. Perhaps this is just the eyes of the common people, who will feel that even such a brave and fearless pioneer is also pitiful and pathetic. The film ended successfully in the magnificent rainforest style, and Fitzcarrador's life also ended in the most glorious and satisfying moment, and the director's arrogance has really reached the peak of loneliness and defeat, and there is no loneliness. The red velvet chair bought for pigs makes people feel the loneliness of "everyone wakes me up alone". It is easy to get a thousand dollars, but hard to find a confidant.
Caruso's opera is the source of the hero's dream. The process of using the gramophone to play the opera to conquer the indigenous people is actually the process of the hero seeking resonance with the passion of dreaming. It has both the romance of Jack Sue and the arrogance of the rivers and lakes.
