This movie is phenomenal, it feels like a fever dream. It has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. As if you have reached the end of the universe, something we can't explain. Easily in my personal top ten. Have you seen it?

Nice.
phrnomenol post
Seen it. Beautiful movie. Did you watch the German or English dub? Shame the original audio was deemed unusable. Have you seen anything else by Herzog? Fitzcarraldo would be up your alley.
Hard to explain. Rent it and see what you think.
i watched the german dub hoping it be Klaus's voice but then I found out that there is no version with his voice, never heard of an actor so famous that had so few speaking roles
>movie looks and sounds like shit
>omg what a masterpiece its so shit that its good
see its good because they actually built rafts and filmed on them and also abused animals in the making of the movie. Extra realism
i've seen it several times and agree 100%
if you've enver seen anything by Herzog, dont start with this bc the rest will be disappointing, they're not bad but Aguirre is just on another level
Not true. Not true at all.
Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, Stoszek, Heart of Glass are all great.
i should have specified that i meant the other films with Kinski, Stroszek is indeed great movie
I almost fell asleep watching it
Nothing happens
Amateur but not in the sense you think
that's just ourboy, herzog
It's great but I prefer Fitzcarraldo
same
Usually I don't show my normie friends arthouse movies for obvious reasons but one night I put this on and they loved it, there's just something about it.
It's also amazing how much it influenced Apocalypse Now.
Fitzcarraldo is a prettier movie and an absolute spectacle but I wish it was a little shorter.
Thought fitzcarraldo kind of dragged the behind the scenes were much more interesting
This thread is phenomenal, it feels like a fever dream. It has some of the most autistic homosexuals I've ever seen. As if you have reached the end of the universe, something we can't explain. Easily in my personal top ten. Have you read it?

Bros am I having a fever dream because this thread is off the hook fr fr no cap .
I'm sorry there weren't enough subway surfers and family guy clips for your tastes
No, what’s the thread like?
I saw it in 2013, when it was recommended by an anon on Cinemaphile back in the day. It became my favorite film ever since.
You people aren't funny
That's interesting, they weren't trying to be funny and you say this shit, hey I know something that would be funny, putting a bullet through your homosexual brain
>my daughter in the film, a sixteen-year-old blond peruvian, was fricked by almost everyone, I think.
what language?
would watching a spanish dub be more immersive.
Germans is the ''original''
But the audio was recorded after the video like other movies of the time
Klaus Kinski is dubbed by someone else since he did not show up
In doubt: avoid subbed versions. Your eye is supposed to be on the picture.
True kino.
Have you seen Cobra Verde, OP? Tried watching it but thought it kinda sucked but maybe I should give it another chance.
Cobra Verde is my personal favorite role of Kinski's.
>I cannot begin to describe this cretinous existence of mine. Nor how lonely it is to be without family or friends. The only white man in this country, perhaps on this whole continent. Meanwhile I have become the father of 62 children; but, this gives me no satisfaction. Perhaps next year I shall come back and marry. I would live in the lands of the ice and snow, anywhere to be away from here. The heat here is mean and inescapable. It courses through the bodies of people like a fever, and yet, my heart grows colder and colder.
Wild monkeys on a raft = kino
goddamn aguirres daughter was pretty in that film
one of my favourite films ever
>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...
How do you respond without sounding mad?
apparently that was a real speech by an ugandan revolutionary by the name of John Okello
What a strange thing to say.
The great silence is kinski's best movie
Change my mind
it is and Aguirre comes second, it has also the best Morricone score
>blocks your path
I hear Henry Cavill is only in this for a few minutes
indeed a very comfy movie
It's funny that herzog chose the most german guy in history to play a spanish
>Have you seen it?
yes, here's what I thought
>civilization in quotes
ruined it
you sound like a homo, like every single person with a letterbox account
this is pretty misleading, their really isnt that much bloodshed until Aguirre's own men get killed at the end
holy gaylord.
reminder that if you use letterboxd youre no better than this gay. the entire site is infested with some of the gaygiest most pretentious pseud midwits ive ever seen. they dont think for themselves at all and like what theyre told to like.
>it feels like a fever dream
i hate this expression. you just mean a dream. it feels like a dream.
i had a fever dream before, i wasn't completely asleep or awake and i thought there was an army marching all over my body. maybe i played too many paradox games idk it was a long time ago but it definitely felt different. the heats warps my mind
I have those all the time because I can't sleep for more than a couple of hours at once without waking up, so I'm always in this weird limbo where it's like my lucid thoughts are mashed together with my dream thoughts and everything is just fricking weird.
anon there is a distinct difference between a dream and a fever dream. do you have a social or learning disability?
i think you might since you have trouble understanding what i'm annoyed with. a fever dream is something nightmarish, yet everyone just uses "oh man that weird tv show was like a fever dream!" because they have no imagination
incorrect. you are mistaken about what people mean and say because you are incapable of connecting with others socially. your disability basically makes you an animal. you are not sentient.
I agree. We have all had fever dreams. It's a relatable state of mind. Even Shin Chan has an episode about a fever dream
>a fever dream is something nightmarish
nta but doesn't that describe Aguirre perfectly? The idea of being a 15th century Spaniard hopelessly lost in a hostile and completely foreign environment, with no chance of getting help, commanded by a psychopath hell bent on getting everyone killed is absolutely a nightmare. the whole concept of the story and the fact that similar things really happened is terrifying.
>the fact that similar things really happened
when

Similarly got lost while looking for treasure and spent years wandering the jungle and enslaved by natives. This guy survived but most of his men didn't
normal dreams are kinda bizarre but seemingly grounded in their own logic. Fever dreams take that but remove the structure and become these manic roller coasters.
I agree that Aguirre feels like a normal dream, not a fever dream.
Aguirre>Fitzcarraldo>Nosferatu>Woyzeck>Cobra Verde
Was the ship real?
Just a hallucination
Of course, it’s right there, can’t you see it, idiot?
then why didnt they salvage it and sail to the atlantic?
almost as ridiculous as this
why didn't they just use the river?
Fitzcarraldo didn't think of this until after they had dragged it halfway up the hill and didn't want to lose face by admitting his mistake
did you watch the movie? the river wasnt connected to where the boat was, they wouldve had to sail around the entirety bottom of SA if i remember
>Easily in my personal top ten. Have you seen it?
I haven't seen it, but I own most of the albums by Popol Vuh, which is the band that provides the music in this and several other of Herzog's films. My personal favorite soundtrack is Coeur de Verre, though Nosferatu and Aguirre are very close.
Its funny, I came here from Cinemaphile cause they can't even talk about music that isn't entry level gay shit, instead I come here and find the most worth while album i have in a long while, cheers
mu is where I heard of Popul Vuh. If you spent any time on there years back they used to have tons of good recs under Cinemaphilecore
always a joy to make a movie with a professional and well balanced actor
mad lad
is he the most unhinged actor of all time?
He just had too much coffee. I've been there
Colonialism by white dudes was good and more movies should show that, its all the other type that was bad
Agreed, if reading about Cortes’ conquest doesn’t stir something inside you, you are a homosexual
Are there any good movies about bringing civilization to savages
burning your own ships so you cant sail back is as badass as history gets
Hernán is an 8 episode series available on YouTube about the beginning of the conquest of the Aztec Empire.
wish there was a better dubbing of this, what was the studio thinking?
The real Aguirre was even more schizo than the one in the movie
not being psyopped into thinking european colonisation was bad, sorry. human sacrifice had to stop
this.
>they were le madmen!
herzog is a commie
Movie more properly makes the point that rebellion against established monarchy is bad and insane (which is reactionary and based?)
Also considering how much shit goes wrong i guess colonialism is not advantageous (Commentary on how Spain lost it's empire and ended up broke?)
You never see a colony in the entire movie, though
human sacrifice is basically unheard of in the Amazon, cannibalism on the other hand...
He's talking about Conquistadorchads like Cortez, not this movie's exact setting
just watched it last year, became a Kinski fan after watching him in Fitzcarraldo and then Silence and I think For a Few Dollars More (or maybe the first one). Aguirre was really good though I guess the ending left me desiring more
based only because it’s honest that all men’s true desire is to frick their own daughter
Sons, mothers and a general was the film through which Herzog met Kinski
I've been looking for a torrent for days but I can't find it anywhere.
Does anyone have it?
Kinski would have won an oscar if, in his words, he had not been a movie prostitute
>Kinski spends more time blasting directors he's worked with. Werner Herzog, with whom he made his best films, is called a (take a deep breath) "miserable, hateful, malevolent, avaricious, money-hungry, nasty, sadistic, treacherous, blackmailing, cowardly, thoroughly dishonest creep."
Wtf I thought he was his friend
the only way kinski knew how to express his love was with savage teutonic insults
I'm trying to remember the name of a German, I think, movie about a moron that it's not as much of a moron as it seems and has some soul wisdom or something. I thought it was a Herzog movie, but I've looked his philography and I haven't found it there. The title of the movie was the name of the moronic character I think.
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Holy shit! Thanks!
Is that the one where the natives offered Werner Herzog that they would kill Klaus Kinski for free?
I just tried to watch it on Amazon and a damn little Caesars commercial came on just as they were about to cross the river. Frick that. I'll pay $3 not to get disturbing globohomosexual goyslop ads. Frickers
only autists let small ads ruin a movie for them, never could relate to people who whine about ads gives you a second to take a piss or grab a snack
grim
i agree your mentality is grim
Imagine bring so israeliteed
Isn't it free on israelitetube?
Herzog and Malick are the only 2 directors I know who can capture the spiritual on film.
And then u add Kinski, who is/was the greatest actor ever, not even memein
u right OP, this movie is an otherworldly experience
honestly i can appreciate the movie as an achievement in guerilla filmmaking and for its authenticity and sheer gonads to try making it, but it was not a movie i enjoyed watching much. was more of a film i watched as essential viewing film history.
I agree. Way too many technical issues and even when taking it for its artistic merit it just doesn't have much to say.
>tfw bin ich der zorn gottes
kinos für diese gefühle?
What do you think has happened to her?
I think she would eventually learn to enjoy it

>In 1980, Kinski refused the lead villain role of Major Arnold Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark, telling director Steven Spielberg that the script was "a yawn-making, boring pile of shit" and "moronically shitty".
