Filmtipp: The Great Silence

[Googolplex]

Never heard of this film before. I'm not a fan of westerns (exception made to "Dead Man", as it isn't a conventional western), but I might give this one a try.

What do you think about "Once upon a time in the west"?
Westerns could be very fantastic. To be a fan doesn't automatically mean to like everything in the genre. I'm a horror fan, but dislike most of horror movies. Every genre has its good and bad movies. The good ones are very rare, but as more brillant.

I think that the only film I've watched with Klaus Kinski was Werner Herzog's "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht"; his rendition of Count Dracula was quite impressive.

Oh, I never watched this movie, but the trailer looks interesting.
Need to buy more movies with Klaus Kinski

He was allegedly diagnosed with schizophrenia, doesn't mean he was a psychopath.

Klaus Kinski was a very unique human. He was some kind of psychopath. This is the reason why he did an excellent job as an actor. His ego makes him to a genius - but he doesn't "play" his role, it's his true character!
He never red the scripts, he never did what the regisseur wants etc. He always was a "problem" for the team, but they couldn't make movies without him in his superb role.

Behind the scenes:





It was always hard to make movies with Kinski. And even when someone had to do an interview with him, you automatically was the loser! Kinski would shout and hit at you.
