The reaction is valid and it's not about pointlessness. It's about usefulness and beauty. Most animals don't try to find harmony with the earth. they just what they want. And they see the world through that lens. To a spider, the floor is lava or just shitty. It needs a web. To a human a wasteland like tundra is deadly but these jungles are an overwhelming cacophony of pain and parasites, arguable worse. You can at least build flat on a wasteland.
I would love to have Werner Herzog at a dinner party, he's so interesting and articulate but also really bleak he would bring the weirdest energy to the room.
I disagree. These are words poisoned by anguish. I think it;s safe to say that, regardless of how much poignancy we find in Herzog's monologue, what he said was a mere projection of the incredible misery he had wallowed in for years making Fitzcarraldo.
Guy Incognito I don’t think there is any anguish in his words I think he is just emphasizing the singing of the birds in correlation to the ubiquity of the Darwinian law in the nature
You say that as if the two are mutually exclusive. All of nature is both a violent, vicious, unending fight for survival AND a world full of beauty and wonder and grace. Birdsong is both a beautiful sonnet to attract a mate AND a ruthless attempt to prevent others from succeeding in the same endeavor.
After seeing this, I kinda get the opening quote from The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser more. It says: "Can't you hear that horrible screaming all around you? That screaming that men call silence."
He always seems so serious in these clips from his younger days. In his later years, his sense of humor seems more obvious. He probably always had a wonderful sense of humor, but you can tell that in this clip he wasn't in a laughing mood.
I would love to see Fitzcarraldo as a Criterion Blu-ray with Burden of Dreams as a bonus feature. I'm surprised that Criterion don't already have any Herzog films, his films seem perfect for them. There aren't any really good DVD releases of his films either.
In film school, they showed us "Hearts of Darkness" during our production courses to show how pre-production & production itself can become a nightmare. They should have shown "Burden of Dreams".
Who's here because of the Risk of Rain 2 soundtrack? I never would've guessed the spoken word from that track was Herzog describing the Amazon; in the context of the OST, it genuinely sounds like am audio log of a survivor of the _UES Contact Light_ describing Petrichor V.
Fellow risk of rainer, hello :D My interpretation was it was furthen talking, probably about the void, considering where the soundtrack plays and how it kinda fits with the void fog thing
To be fair, I've lived in florida my whole life and the 3 days I spent in the amazon were the easily the most brutal. Being down by the equator with that stifling humidity is just killer. I dont know how this man made 2 full length films on location there
So to create a film about a madman trying to move a 300 ton steam ship through the Amazon jungle, Herzog decides to move a 300 ton steam ship through the Amazon jungle.
"there is no erotica just... asphyxiation, choking, fighting for survival, growing... just rotting away" that there is marriage Werner, you missed all the erotica.
"When psychedelics plants want to get high/explore their consciousness they usually take karge quantities of Werner Herzog." Terrence McKenna* *allegedly...
Why? Its just reality. You may have a good time but he'll tell you the truth and like it or not its the truth. It may hurt but it gets you on the situation of the animals and you suddently seem to understand why there is true misery
But Burden of Dreams already has a Criterion spine number. It wouldn't be fair of Criterion to just reduce one of their own films to a supplement of another film. Box set, maybe, but Fitzcarraldo I think has enough notoriety to keep it in the pop culture sphere on its own. I think Criterion would have a difficult time getting their hands on it.
😂It would be funny to find that the afterlife was being reborn as an animal, like a penguin. Retaining all memories of being human, full of dreams on a sheet of ice.🎉
It’s here the realization of a man has taken place , that realization is reality , when faced with it he saw the truth .. the birds scream out in pain , they don’t sing
...and the moral is: don't try to pull a ship over a mountain for no reason. The opera could have been brought to the jungle anyway with a record player. No need for ships, or mountains, or any of that. Sty in the eye and all that. The birds might have relaxed listening to the opera too.
Herzog has got to be one of the most unintentionally funny people on earth
i don't think it's entirely unintentional
[Most happy German man]

Really? He was a prescient to know about short vids in 1981 then
He isright tho
Fitzcarraldo is about an insane man trying to haul a boat over a mountain.
The documentary about the making of Fitzcarraldo is about an insane man trying to haul a boat over a mountain.
Lmao
That’s why the film is so strong - fact and fiction merge completely and the madness of Fitz is the madness of Herzog.
Never thought Fitzcarraldo was insane, he just had a higher degree of confidence and idealism than those around him.

Yes, but Herzog is "clinically sane" ;-)

This monologue has always been one of my favorite things, ever.
11 years on and it still just hits... something. Cinema unto itself.

Kinski: "Yes, like I said."

What’s funny is you can hear the song of the Screaming Piha in the background when he talks about the birds screaming in pain. He’s not wrong
I would love to have Werner Herzog at a dinner party, he's so interesting and articulate but also really bleak he would bring the weirdest energy to the room.
*looks down at his plate*
"This spaghetti, it's like a slithering heap of worms, blood drenched worms, fighting for survival"
He wasn't talking about the situation, I don't know. Just the aesthetic of the jungle. It isn't a place of beauty, just a violent fight for survival.

Herzog's monologue is the embodiment of the average Berliner's view on life. :D
Which is interesting knowing that he's Bavarian and these two groups of Germans hate each other.
I thought he was Austrian.
@@DR-tx9mr he's German but my comment simply made fun of the nihilism of "Berliners".

"My first pick is Misery..."
He’s not even describing the movies he’s selecting, just goes on for an hour.

Sorry, but no. Nosferatu is 1000 times better of a movie than Fitzcaraldo, despite how great this documentary is.
