Aguirre, the Wrath of God Comments

A Nietzschean tragedy, the act of breaking away from civilization into the primitive hinterland, like a baby's urge to drain a breast, ends in self-destruction. Throughout, the camera is more indifferent than the characters, it blends into the Soul Eater environment itself, and the characters are rendered physically, emotionally, and intuitively numb, pain and death without any sign of...

Herzog's dramas always give me the feeling that monty python can't even though he's meant to be so, that kind of lost in the search for meaning. Aguirre is the god who descended from the Andes (vertical Andean terrain in the title and the conqueror with the bass roar), the wrath of God is Captain Ahab on the Amazon raft (the end of all sacrifices in pursuit of El Dorado) is the deepest darkness The heart of Spanish Kurtz (abandoned suzerain is king) Herzog's animal is a metaphor for human...

Although Herzog made a vain and failed journey, the history of the plundering of European colonizers and early capitalism has not been successfully written step by step until today. Compared to "Overland Boat", this one fascinates me even more. His documentary and fictional style and texture are intriguing. I understand very well why Coppola insisted on making a "Apocalypse Now", the ghostly feeling of drifting in the original mysterious waters, and the emptiness of the ultimate...

Madman film directed by Herzog. The magnificent soundtrack creates a strong religious color for the film, and the original environment highlights the original desires of people's hearts. The film uses a lot of handheld photography to make the audience feel immersed in the scene, while minimizing the dramatic conflict as much as possible, showing this medieval epic objectively. "Civilized" people broke into the place where the "primitive" Indians lived, delusional development of territory,...

The scene of going down the mountain at the beginning of the film is like a dream with this frame, and the impasto colors are especially suitable for many close-ups. There are very few episodes that cause discomfort. I never thought it would be a comedy. Herzog's really dry and cold laughs are my favorite. It's just that Kinski's angular face is so virtuous, it's too bad to pretend to be a Spaniard. Convincing? Under the nautical culture that is the source of Western spirituality, the firmness...

surreal feeling, political modernism, failed Spainish colonization metaphorically signifies Hilter's failed conquer of the...

One after another good show staged by Little Ark is like a microcosm of the history of human development. To spread the gospel is only the most abstract program, and the following are the appearances, the addition of yellow robes, the rudder to see the wind, the deer as a horse, and the exclusion of dissidents. , Burning, killing and looting is another best specific comment to "civilization". Like all plots that eventually usher in drastic changes, they begin with a rock-solid situation, and...

The title could be changed to "Adolf, God's Wrath". The plot is very much like talking about Germany during World War II, Hitler led the people to conquer...

9.9/10. The 16th century Spanish adventurer Aguirre led a team of people (Spanish and Indians) to search for El Dorado along the Amazon River, but it was finally destroyed due to the sinister natural environment and the struggle for power and tyranny. The texture of the images is rough, coupled with the original and dangerous natural environments that are all shot in real scenes (the camera angles of the film often include these natural environments to emphasize their existence), crazy...

The film's handling of death is almost terrifyingly calm. There is no bloody battle scene, not even a moan before death. It suddenly falls down with an arrow, and all the shock to the audience comes from outside the sight. The opening subtitles of the film reveal that the "Golden City" is nothing but a lie fabricated by the Indians, but as more and more Spaniards go crazy and destroy it, it becomes a curse suspended in history. What the poor life is looking for is nothing but a phantom, an...
