    Very interesting behind-the-scenes record, it broke a lot of information, this should be the most difficult movie ever to shoot, it is much more difficult than we go to lay pipes, Herzog does not look like a lunatic under the camera of his friends, but Like a dreamer who never gives up, the narrative of the documentary is smooth, and many people can't help laughing. This is not only the connection and friction between the two civilizations, but also a difficult journey to re-recognize the great...

    I didn't expect Werner Herzog to think that nature is wretched. It is true that people's shaping of nature is holy and beautiful compared to industrial society, but I think more about mosquitoes and fresh air that can't be felt. . The director's paranoia and humility remind me of admiration. In the past, making a movie really concentrated a lot of social resources. The venue problem did not cause a film to be aborted by changing actors and reshoots. These two problems are a disaster for any...

    "Boat on Land" itself is a boat on land. After four years of hardships in the Amazon jungle, he really dragged a boat over the mountain. The burden of dreams is actually the weight of life. "If I give up on this plan, I'm a man with no dreams and I don't want to live like...

    Herzog said: "If I don't keep making this, I don't have a dream of my...

    Once a person has a dream, he cannot escape it, and he is enslaved, burned, and stooped to bear the burden of it for his entire life. It is life itself. It is the essence of...

    For the filming, the Herso team agreed to jointly fight for land independence for the local aborigines. When you think about it this way, it's kind of paradoxical in comparison to those socially engaged...

    "This church will remain close until this city has a opera house." "These lands will belong to them after the film is finished", the greatest film in a century, the most irreverent dream, the bravest...

    Every shot is almost crazy, and for a dream that seems to be on paper, he will do everything he can to do whatever it takes. Perhaps in a social race eroded by modern civilization, it feels more congested and bizarre. It struggles for survival and grows to the point of vanity and decay. All this is silent, relying on the reproduction of natural fraternity or obscene despair. When the great dream shines into reality, do you see that the light it refracts is full of...

    Herzog is not challenging nature, but a fanatical pilgrimage. The natural law of tm farting, disorder and impermanence is its original appearance. This unconventional madness is the closest thing to God's...

    Herzog is one of the four post-war German powerhouses [Schlondorf, Wenders, Fassbender], with the most obvious attributes of the little powerhouses: life is endless and fighting is endless... He dismisses success in the general sense. , what they are after is true greatness...

    Herzog on nature

    "Of course we are challenging nature itself and it hits back. It just hits back that's all. And that's grandiose about it and we have to accept that it is much stronger than we are. Kiniski always says it's full of erotic elements I don' t see so much erotic I see it more full of obscenity it's...

    Herzog, the paranoid movie lunatic

    It's better than a boat on land. It recorded Herzog's process of making this film. He spent five years changing the lead, changing the venue, setting up camp in the Amazon forest, getting involved in the conflict between the primitive Indian tribes, and the crew being killed by primitive people....

Burden of Dreams quotes

  • Film Crew Interviewer: Were you afraid of the gringos when you came here?

    Young Campas Native Woman: No, I wasn't afraid, because I understood what they were doing. My friend Walter told me it was all lies.

    Film Crew Interviewer: What did they tell you? That the gringos would take off your face?

    Young Campas Native Woman: Yes, they'll take off your face and use your fat for airplanes.

    Miguel Ángel Fuentes: We're not like the Jivaros who shrink heads this small.

    [laughs]

    Young Campas Native Woman: I told him I'd rather get out of here before they do that to me. When my friends arrived and saw the camps, they were really afraid. I told them, "Don't be afraid." They said "They're all just waiting to kill us." "No, no, they've been waiting for you." Atalaina told them, "The doctor will give you an injection and take your blood and put poison in your veins. You'll die by the time you get back to your village." They were so afraid.

    Miguel Ángel Fuentes: It's not true.

    Young Campas Native Woman: And, "Don't eat too much of what they offer. They give you this much. Don't eat it all, because they'll fatten you up to kill you."

  • Narrator: As Herzog puts it, "Everyday life is only an illusion, behind which lies the reality of dreams."
