Speechless About Herzog (II)

time I've been toying with writing a post about Werner Herzog. Herzog, many will know, is a director, screenwriter, producer and occasional German actor who started in the 60's. Until recently, I had only seen, and because a friend invited me to the press pass, "Grizzly Man", a documentary about Timothy Treadwell went, a supposed expert on bears who spent part of his life to live with them in the nature of Katmai in Alaska.

documentary fascinated me, but it took years until I saw a new film by Herzog. It was the classic "Fitzcarraldo." This film, fiction, although based loosely on a true story, is about an idealistic and stubborn Irishman who insists on bringing opera to the remote jungle city of Iquitos. For this you need a lot of money. Try to get through the collection of rubber in a region inaccessible. So inaccessible that to reach it, should raise a steamship over a mountain. later himself Herzog directed a documentary about his relationship with Klaus Kinski, star of many of his films, which was particularly stormy during the filming of "Fitzcarraldo." The documentary is entitled "My intimate enemy" and I've just seen. It is known that Kinski was an actor prone to disproportionate anger attacks. In this documentary are a few of them, usually caused by trivial reasons such as quality of a meal or the temperature of a cup of coffee was served. Here Herzog, later time, listen to the recording of one of Kinski's outbursts. I recommend that pulseis "play."

"My intimate enemy" is also suggested that indigenous Herzog seriously blond eliminate this as undesirable. Herzog said, with humor, not to do so, I needed to live at least to finish the shoot.

I have wanted to see other Herzog films. I inquired a little about a few of them, "Aguirre or the Wrath of God", also played by Kinski, is about the megalomaniac Lope de Aguirre, English official of the times of the conquerors of America, who rebels against his superiors and leads the rebels into the mythical El Dorado. As the title says, it considers itself an expression of God's wrath. "Stroszek" was written specifically for Bruno S. a mentally ill homeless and Berlin, who plays a character much like himself, who emigrated to the United States. They say this is the last movie you saw Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division, before crashing. "Woyzeck", also with Kinski, is a Czech soldier who hears voices. The treatment of his wife, his superiors in the army and the doctor only aggravate their condition. Fiction films Herzog's latest is "The Bad Lieutenant. Port of Call New Orleans "with Nicholas Cage, released in 2010 in Spain on the descent into hell of a drug addict and police "My son, my son What Have ye done" on a deranged murderer. This film, shot in 2009, has not yet been seen in our country.

Yes, I suppose I've got it. All his films are about the same. Or a slight variation on the same subject. Tipos (yes, it seems they are always men) who go crazy. differ from the times when each passing facts, the degrees of madness and the actions undertaken by the upset: many of them killed, others make things a little absurd, but something more innocuous, such as carrying out an investigation into alleged bears without the minimum rigor or steam load a hundred tons on the crest of a mountain. In many cases, the protagonists of the stories of Herzog face directly against nature, such as trying to impose its will on the mountains, animals and rivers. Even Kinski documentary is about a deranged megalomaniac who, at once fascinates and thrills Herzog. The director and I was going to be the protagonist of his films met as teenagers. Herzog Kinski unconscionable advantage of his power animal, spectacular violence and the ability to generate tension around them. For Indeed, I recommend the video below comparéis with this other "Grizzly Man." Between them there are disturbing similarities. Well, what's all this? Why write about Herzog and Kinski on this blog about the script? Hmmm, that it is becoming a little long, I'm afraid ... 'll have to wait until next week to find out.
