[@bob7975]

Herzog knew Kinski since he was a teenager and Kinski a lodger in his mother's boarding house. He refused to be intimidated by him and developed methods of getting around him, and even pulled a gun on him once to keep him from walking off the set (it worked). He explained his method in an interview where he described his technique of first triggering Kinski deliberately, then letting him rant and rage until he was completely exhausted. Then he would shoot the scene.

[@stairwayscare5205]

He liked him despite his better judgment.

[@ReynaldoJAbreuR74]

I think Kinski's portrayal of Aguirre is so iconic in part because he probably shared some psychological features with the man. Real life Lope de Aguirre (1511) was a Spanish (Basque) conquistador that was renowned for being a egomaniacal, homicidal, cruel and downright crazy man. His legacy of exceptional cruelty and violence left deep marks in South America, even today, specially in Venezuela. The part of the movie concerns most with his exploits in Peru in search of the mythical city of El Dorado, where he betrayed and murdered other expedition leaders to try and seek glory for himself. He ended up cruising all the way up the Orinoco river eventually reaching Margarita Island and slaying its governor. On his way west he left a trail of bodies, flames and revolts - was eventually halted near Barquisimeto (mainland Venezuela) where shortly before capture, he executed his own daughter claiming that he felt repulsed by the thought of her bedded by a local (differently of what is shown in the movie). Killed by one of his own men in 1561. Curiously, those words are documented as actually having been said by Aguirre: "I am the wrath of God"

Klaus Kinski hatte eine absolute Borderline-Persönlichkeit zwischen Genialität und Irrenhaus. Absolut eindrucksvoll und authentisch in seinen Rollen, in die er völlig hineinschlüpft und wahrscheinlich in Drehpausen weitergelebt hat … Unvergleichbar und faszinierend 👍

[@aequivalent9761]

Tatsächlich machen das viele Schauspieler so, dass die Rolle auch in den Drehpausen und darüber hinaus weitergelebt wird. Nennt sich method acting - damit man dann in der Rolle glaubwürdiger rüberkommt. Ob Kinski genial war, ist so ne Frage... Denn eine Sache ist klar: er selbst glaubte jedenfalls felsenfest daran, dass er genial ist. Und wenn ich nicht irre, ist in Studien schon gezeigt worden, dass Leute neigen jemanden zu folgen, der von sich selbst absolut überzeugt ist "denn der muss ja offenbar wissen wo es lang geht" ... Das ist nicht einmal nur eine menschliche Eigenschaft. Auch in Fischen hat man bemerkt, dass wenn man einen Holzfisch unter sie platziert hat (welcher nachweislich das wenigste Gehirn von allen hatte - eben weil Holz) , aber sich absolut selbstbewußt bewegte (er wurde ferngesteuert per random-generator), die Fische ihm folgten. "denn wer so selbstbewußt ist, muss wissen wo es lang geht" ). Es ist ein Fehler den also Tiere und auch Menschen sehr oft begehen, und dann auch neigen, bestimmte sehr prägnante Persönlichkeiten für genial zu halten. Das ist prinzipiell aus einer Unterordnung heraus (die meisten Menschen sind Leute die sich unterordnen.. nur sehr wenige sind Lenker). Und ja, um sich unterordnen zu können, verlangt es oft: den Lenker für genial zu halten. Psychologisch eben sehr interessant. Aus meiner Perspektive halte ichs für möglich, dass Menschen in ihm also des Kaisers neue Kleider sehen. Ob das wirklich auch zutrifft, nämlich: ob er wirklich nichts anderes als Selbstbewußtsein aufm Kasten hatte, vermag ich nicht zu entscheiden. Dafür reicht mir meine Expertise zur Schauspielkunst nicht. Grundsätzlich stimme ich mit einem anderem Kommentar aber überein, der gemeint hat: Regisseure wie Herzog erkannten einfach für welche Art von Filmen sie Kinski am besten einsetzen könnten. Dadurch wurden jene Filme einfach stärker. Jener Kommentator meinte, dass Kinski bestenfalls ein mittelmäßiger Schauspieler war - aber durch seine Persönlichkeit und Ausstrahlung sich für bestimmte Filme eben eignete. Dort wars dann auch weniger wichtig wie "gut" er war als Schauspieler, als viel mehr, ob er mit seiner Ausstrahlung und Art das beisteuern konnte, was der Film gebraucht hat. Ein Wahnsinniger braucht einen Wahnsinnigen eben nicht erst zu spielen.

[@inlakesh555]

Er hatte ausgeprägte emotionale Schwingungsfähigkeit 😊

[@Voodoo5445]

@@aequivalent9761 das Phänomen welches du beschreibst und wie du das auf Kinski anwendest fühlt sich wahnsinnig dümmlich an und absolut kurzgegriffen. Die Lenker oder Führungsrolle ist Kinski überhaupt nicht inne , er hatte überhaupt kein Interesse eine Anhängerschaft aufzubauen. Es ist des Menschens intellekt absolut ungnädig ein Holzfisch mit der Komplexheit menschlicher Kultur zu vergleichen. Ich kann dir sagen was die Menschen an Kinski so fasziniert und das sind ehrliche und mit Leidenschaft gesprochene Worte . Er hat eine Ausstrahlungskraft die die Menschen fasziniert und Vorallem einen Thrill erzeugt im Publikum , also eine künstliche Angst, eine Angst vor dem wahnsinnigen Blick oder den vermeintlichen Kontrollverlust. Kinski ist jemand, der mit dem Schwert in der Scheide die Welt erobern wollte. Das interessante ist ja , dass man ihm die Rolle des Irren sowas von abkauft , obwohl er doch aus eigener Überzeugung ein Mensch des Friedens war und diesen auch immer ausgesprochen hat . Übrigens find ich Werner Herzog inspezielle was die ausraster Szene von Kinski im Dschungel angeht weitaus gefährlicher und fanatischer . Schließlich erzählte dieser in einem Interview ebenfalls , dass wenn Kinski das Set mit dem Boot verlassen hätte , Herzog ihn und sich selber erschossen hätte. Da wird einem mal bewusst in was für einer emotional bedrückende Lage Kinski war und der Ausraster über das Essen nimmt plötzlich eine ganz andere Dimension an.
