Fitzcarraldo. Bizarre. The dialogue is all out of sync, the characters are annoying and insane - Kinski is a freakin' nutcase, the story Maybe it was the hype around the film and the madness involved in the making of it, but it just didn't do anything for me. not particularly engaging - if the indians murdered the whole lot of them I wouldnt have given a damn.
Even the marvellously insane task of dragging the boat over a huge mass of land was entirely boring.. and when 2 indians died, they just wriggled about a bit - no fricken drama - while Fitz did a dance. it just seems like the real interesting element to this film is what you don't see - the making of it and the insane shit that Herzog/Kinski were up to.. including the local chief offering to murder Kinski and Herzog telling him no because they werent finished filming!
anyway..still, there were good moments and I laughed at a lot of it...which made it enjoyable.
overall though, a disappointment.
