'''''Fitzcarraldo''''' is a 1982 film written and directed by [[Werner Herzog]]. It’s based on the life of real rubber baron Carlos Fitzcarrald.
Line 30 ⟶ 34:
* [[Sliding Scale of Cynicism Versus Idealism]]: Fitcarraldo is the embodiment of idealism.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: [[Exploited Trope|Exploited]] by Fitzcarraldo when he plays Puccini from the prow of the ''Molly Aïda'', defying the brooding jungle on the banks of the river they are traversing (and too the drumbeats that emerge from it).
* [[Subbing Versus Dubbing]]? The answer: Shoot every scene twice, once with the actors speaking German, and again with them speaking English (with varying thickness of accent).
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Klaus Kinki doesn't hold a candle to Claudia Cardinale.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]
