Many years before the shooting of "Fitcarraldo", Herzog chose the location for a certain film and came to a place called Carnac on the coast of Brittany, France. The group of prehistoric steles that stretched over the mountains for miles brought him Come shock. He has a keen interest in how prehistoric humans erected these huge steles. After two days of contemplation, he figured out how to transport a stone stele two kilometers away with a simple tool. Later, a friend who helped him raise funds to shoot "Aguirre, God's Wrath" suggested that he go back to the Amazon jungle to shoot a movie, and put the South American adventurer Aser Femin Fitzcarald’s true story. The story told him. In Herzog's view, Asai Femming Fitzcaraldo was just a dark-hearted businessman who lived at the turn of the century, but a detail in the story aroused Herzog's interest: Fitzcaraldo had A ship is disassembled on the river bank, and then transported by land to the adjacent parallel river channel before being assembled. Herzog got inspiration from this detail, combined with the stone stele of Karnak, and came up with the story of Fitzcarald’s use of indigenous power to pull a large ship over a hill in order to build an opera house in the jungle.

It's better to see how this director wrote how to make a movie than to watch this movie. Another film that has been sealed on the altar, I can't watch it at all. If you want to ask me which old directors I prefer, I can only say that it is indeed Fellini who understood it early on, watched it, and was shocked. For a movie like this that can't be watched, forget it.

Herzog paranoialy expresses the spiritual world and adventures of "abnormal" human beings. This film is the secret history of South America, the legend of adventurers, the sequel to "Damn", the video text of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", and the Madness and Civilization.
