His boat sinking, his remaining men dying of fever or slain by natives, his only child felled by an arrow, Aguirre the blasphemer, the betrayer, the "Wrath of God" dreams of a conquest as limitless as heaven.

@@scottsimmons7897 I also agree Satyricon is a great work of art, but I must protest that Aguirre is more important for these very serious times. As you will recall Satyricon is a homoerotic story about Giton (played by Max Born, who was not homosexual, and still alive and married living in NZ). It was a different time, and different stories could be told in the age of sex awareness in early seventies. This is a different story but more relevant for these times of greed, malice and as Bowie, Kinski’s friend put it “failures for fathers mothers of chaos”. Now it will take men accustomed to penance, religious conviction, and austerity such as Kinski to defeat the Americans and save North Europa. Such convictions are seen even better in Jesus Christus Erlöser. That film has nothing to do with Herzog, who was nothing himself without Kinski.

It's based two Spanish Colonial expeditions to Peru, one of which was led by a captain of the same name. Most of it is from Herzog's imagination but many details are accurate. One of the reasons it looks like documentary is because it was filmed like one. Cameramen traveled overland with their equipment the way the actors did. There were very few motor vehicles involved in the production. Herzog doesn't use production tricks: everything he filmed his actors and producers actually did. Check out _Fitzcarraldo_.

@lejardinierdugoulag78834 жыл бұрын
Horrific Fried Donut Well, if you are capable to appreciate Aguirre, it means you could be saved from alienation so, I'll try. I'm french, so I could link you some french articles/podcasts that are very pertinents in their critic of Joker, but I don't know if you can understand them. To sum up my point : I compare both movies because Aguirre is one of the most recognized author film that depicts the fall of a man into madness etc., and could be linked to films like Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, which Joker explicitly refers to. But : if Aguirre is a documentary like depiction of the rude and brutal amazonia and Taxi Driver a deep captation of the atmosphere of New York at the time it was shot, Joker is only an artificial tentative to recreate what worked before, the decor of the film is a mix of what a greyish city of the 80s would looks like, but its set up and filmed like a commercial. Here I just focus on the setting because I want to be precise, but what I want to say globally is that Herzog and Scorsese have a vision, a vision of their settings, of their characters, of their story ; and Todd Philipps has nothing to say, no idea of what to do with his camera. So he just let Joaquin Phoenix occupy the screen for 2 and half hour and hope to get an oscar. The maim, crucial difference is that Aguirre is an author film, and Joker is made to please his producers. I have been pretty affirmative here, but if you wants to make your opinion, I can advise you to : continue to watch a ton of Herzog's films ; if you like Phoenix, to watch PTA's "The Master", where he do mainly the same performance than in joker but this time there is someone behind the camera.

Benjamin Britten has been quoted as saying: "I am an arrogant and impatient listener, but in the case of a few composers, a very few, when I hear a work I do not like, I am convinced that it is my own fault. Verdi is one of those composers." I'm not sure I'm arrogant, but I can be impatient, and my jury about whose fault it is that I found nothing other than a few pretty shots in Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes, which appealed to me is still out. Oddly (although German acting can be a bit.. odd..) wooden acting from everyone other than Kinski, of course, who's always over the top (which is GENIUS in Woyzeck, a FABULOUS movie adaptation!) It fizzles out at the end, as we slowly drift into dehydration and boredom.. Not for me, although as I said: that could be my fault (many would say so!). Also Fitzcarraldo and Nosferatu are great movies, but Aguirre.. no.

BREXIT/Nov 2018. Theresa May, surrounded by dead bodies and fighting monkeys faces her now vanished cabinet about her great deal: she asks to an indifferent world. A tragedy from Schiller or Milton, still ignorant of the fact that the only way off the sinking raft is across treacherous water and into a hostile forest, she still feels that she is in charge. "Who else is with me?"

What is this? Werner Herzog's commentary of Hitler's megalomania via the medium of a historical Aguirre?
@mme96465 жыл бұрын
Interesting point. Maybe that's what Werner wanted, but I prefer to see it as a bunch of dudes who venture into the wilderness and are consumed by it and the desire of gold, and the contrast of their desires (a gold city) and the truth (unending green wilderness)
