Talk:Fitzcarraldo

message: On his audio commentary for the Region 1 DVD, Herzog states that the dialogue re-write was a matter of necessity, and that he considers the dubbed German soundtrack (also available on the DVD) to be the true screenplay of the film.

thread_title: Dialogue re-write

message: What I missed (and couldn't find while adding some date about the hill) was some hard data about the hill, such as:
* Vertical height of the hill
* Hillside distance they had to pull the ship on, from river to top
* (Theoretically, finding one of the above, plus the fact it's supposed to be about 40-degree incline, would yield the other with simple trigo math, but having both would be more sure...)
Also, I have replaced all instances of "mountain" with "hill": for one thing "moutain" is for something much higher than that; for another, the Herzog commentary always clearly say "hill", including in the source quote, "The central metaphor of my film is that they haul a ship over what's essentially an impossibly steep hill."

thread_title:  More hillside data? 

message: I don't know where this would go in the article, exactly, but there's a reference to this movie in the Metalocalypse animated series.  In an episode called Deathcarraldo the band travels to the Amazon and, when faced with a mountain that is in their way, commands the Clockateers to pull their boat over the mountain by hand.

replies: text: The film and the chaotic, troubled shoot is a spectacular instance of the death wish impulses of Herzog, which he later reflected on (through the guise of another person] in Grizzly Man'
In The "Representations in other media" would it be worth inserting the Reference to it in The Simpsons ?
The children are pulling their school bus up a hill by chain. Üter Zörker (the german exchange student) says "I feel like I'm in 'Fitzcarraldo' !". Nelson (the school bully) smacks him over the head and shouts "That movie is flawed !". Anyone? Robin J Thomson (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  In popular culture? 

message: A small motorship for about 30 passengers named Fitzcarraldo based at the left shore of Danube in Linz (Austria) offered individual tours. She has been built by Bernhard Luger in Obermühl in 1990 and nearly sunk in February 2009 under an other owner.
