    Herzog's films are always about extremes, extreme people doing extreme things. The arrogant attitude of modern civilization is reflected everywhere in the original scene, just like the Indian patriarch who threw the Bible to the ground was beaten to death. In the end, the civilization was defeated by the primitive, and Aguirre still stood on the raft, surrounded by dead and sick soldiers. He paid the price for arrogance and madness, but he did not know it. This is the most terrible story....

    The second Herzog + Kinski film I watched after "Nosferatu", the rough and savage texture is reminiscent of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Although the direction of force is different, the mockery of grand words such as conquest and glory has the same goal. Aguirre is the epitome of the ambitions of the great colonial era. From abandoning the motherland, building puppets, false democracy to the blatant high-pressure politics in the later period, and finally to the bleak ending of nothing,...

    #4Herzog# The new German film is a masterpiece of the gods, the miniature human evolution history in the closed rainforest, the endless greed for wealth, and the cruel power struggle. The group portraits have distinct characters, except for Aguirre, the stupid and cowardly puppet emperor, the priest who helped Zhou's abuse, and the wise and courageous leader's wife. The critique of religious hypocrisy is straight-forward. On the one hand, it is the arrogance of man's victory over the...

    European countries are basically unified in Christianity, and there are relatively few conflicts. They thought they could preach wherever they went, but they were repeatedly shot by Indians with arrows. The scenery is good, the waterfall is turbulent. Die one by one, knowing that there is no return, or to explore. In the end, many monkeys eat human corpses, which is more...

    El comentario

    El comienzo de la película es muy largo y sereno. Una larga cola de soldados españoles, esclavos negros y indios llevando ropas indígenas y cadenas están marchándose en las laderas, con ca ñones tarados las laderas, con ca ñones literas las laderas es mures. una idea de que la naturaleza es tan...

    "I am the wrath of God"

    2018.5.17

    Written on the front: This is a very different film I watched recently. On the one hand, it is set in more than 1500 years. On the other hand, although it does not have a rich plot structure, it is also surprisingly good-looking.

  • Gonzalo Pizarro: Things are looking up.

    Don Lope de Aguirre: Now it's downhill.
