Aguirre, the Wrath of God Comments

    All the hypocrisy about civilization gradually faded away, and what remained was pure madness. The narration throughout appears to be trying to maintain the recorded perspective, but in the end it is "God's Wrath" that does not fall. Personally, I feel that Herzog, as an author, is closer to this pure obsession with madness than the so-called calm criticism, so the combination with Kinsky is really...

    "Apocalypse Now" is a fictional reality, while "Aguirre" is a real fiction. The biggest difference is that the latter intends to break the construction of the situation (especially a 360° long shot at the end), which points to a kind of Wig's novel-like tragedy is at the same time a biography (or diary, with the narration enhanced by the narration) of real history. Herzog is a master of postmodernism, and this half-century-old work has a decidedly enduring magic that can be found in Gray or...

    A movie with deep metaphors. Are such arrogant people still around? Humans have been out of the jungle for a long time, but the laws of the jungle still exist. I have to say, the little monkey at the end is so...

    The first Herzog work I saw. All kinds of intrigue in the kingdom built on the raft can only accelerate people's despair in an environment full of hunger, thirst and arrows, and the desires of the majority are only for the greater greed of the few. Do footsteps. Perhaps the human desire to possess and conquer is nothing but an illusory bubble in the torrent of the Amazon. This is the "ancient apocalypse" created by the...

    A lunatic brought out a bunch of sbs, and none of them are normal because the director is a lunatic, this movie is boring enough and bad...

    5.14 Fengshen was crushed to death by the true God, molded into a statue, and looked forward with hope. The king of the ship, enjoying every feast, fearing every landing and quiet. The end of civilization is a diary of lost...

    Aguirre's fanaticism is fascinating, and this belief in conquest is also human...

    An idiosyncratic expeditionary journey into the unknown, an intoxicating introspection of the relationship between man and...

    It has been proven time and again that good movies are often watched and new. After the first five years of watching, and after reading "Tropical Melancholy" and "Mexican Dream", I understood Herzog's hard work for the film, and the infusion of textual evidence. His documentary-like authenticity and detail, the description of Indian civilization and the lines of the tribal natives of the way are well documented, and he is obviously not satisfied with the record, he shows the eternal insatiable...

    "I shouldn't make movies anymore, I should find a lunatic asylum to live in" ~ Herzog

    The first time I saw Jose’s film was only a short ten minutes ([Ten Minutes Ago: Ten Minutes Older: the Trumpet]). I don't like this kind of masters assembling film. I don't have a deep impression. I only remember that he shot a tribe in the jungle. At that time, I thought this subject matter was...

    "Aguirre, God's Scourge"

    "Aguirre, God's Wrath"

    The blood, guns, archery, etc. inside are very random, and more symbolic is used, which is understandable. But the rough recordings and dull group performances can't justify the mouth shape. It's still a five-star work, with successful characterization, Aguirre's actor is very...

Aguirre, the Wrath of God quotes

  • Don Lope de Aguirre: I am the great traitor. There must be no other. Anyone who even thinks about deserting this mission will be cut up into 198 pieces. Those pieces will be stamped on until what is left can be used only to paint walls. Whoever takes one grain of corn or one drop of water... more than his ration, will be locked up for 155 years. If I, Aguirre, want the birds to drop dead from the trees... then the birds will drop dead from the trees. I am the wrath of God. The earth I pass will see me and tremble. But whoever follows me and the river, will win untold riches. But whoever deserts...
