电影梦1982

这部纪录片真实再现了德国电影大师沃纳·赫尔佐格（Werner Herzog）用近五年的时间在秘鲁亚马逊热带丛林中艰难拍摄完成震撼世界的名片《陆上行舟》（Fitzcarraldo）的过程。本片记录了这段电影人寻找梦想的过程，但这绝不是一部现今发行电影DVD时几乎必附的幕后花絮纪录片，他没有对影片吹嘘拍马只是忠实纪录影片拍摄时面对的众多不可思议的困难日子以及一个为了电影近乎疯狂的导演。　　《陆上行舟》根据真实事件改编，爱尔兰人Fitzcarraldo酷爱歌剧，他想在热带雨林之中建造一个歌剧院然后请意大利男高音卡鲁索（Caruso）来演唱，为了凑到足够的金钱他买下来一块橡胶田做起橡胶生意，为了往来运输他必须弄一条船到雨林之中，在当地印第安土著帮忙之下，他终于把船从一条运河跨山而过运到了另一条河上。就在他兴奋无比之时，却不知土著有自己的打算，他们把船抛弃在河流之中让他顺流而下以献给河神，Fitzcarraldo的梦想最终破灭。他请了一个三流歌剧团来雨林表演以此完事。Fitzcarraldo的梦想没有实现赫尔措格却被之打动，他认为这种坚持梦想的行为本事就是伟大的成功，将之搬上屏幕成了赫尔佐格的梦想，却不知这是一个折磨了他五年带给他痛苦与快乐的梦想。　　在赫尔佐格的坚持下，影片在秘鲁内陆的雨林实地拍摄，拍摄之初便卷入了当地土著部落的权利之争，而在丛林中还有军营、石油公司各种势力，拍摄所需物资全部空运至搭建的营地。影片缓慢的拍摄。五周后，就在影片完成40%的时候，影片主演Jason Robards因病退出剧组，饰演Fitzcarraldo伙伴Wilbur的滚石乐队（Rolling Stone）主唱Mick Jagger则投身新专辑发行和巡演。影片陷入遥遥无期的停机状态。　　半年之后，赫尔佐格找来Klaus Kinski饰演Fitzcarraldo，摄制组再次进入雨林。影片拍摄过程中最大的矛盾出现了。在现实中，Fitzcarraldo将船拆散运过山坡后在另一头进行组装。赫尔措格却执意要将比现实中大得多船整个越过山坡，他认为这能将电影的主题形像化，给人视觉冲击。剧组请来的巴西工程师设计了一套复杂的装置供印第安临时演员们进行搬运，但即使是工程师也不相信这个装置可以搬运那个大家伙。赫尔措格已经听不进任何劝阻，执意实景拍摄。工程师因此退出摄制组留下“只有30%成功机会，如果失败还会有人会死

大蒜胜十妈

A documentary on the history of garlic. Blank interviews chefs, garlic lovers, and historians about the their love of the 'stinking rose.'　　Often referred to as a stinking rose, garlic, in its culinary uses, generally evokes a love it or hate it response. Quite often, these responses are on cultural lines, where old world cultures have generally revered it in their cooking, while new world cultures have not. A renaissance of sorts is taking place in the use of garlic in the United States, with more and more immigrants bringing their use of the spice to the country, with more people desiring more spice in their food, with a desire to get back to the land and with the production of plant a large part of the Central California landscape. Many chefs are presented preparing dishes prominently featuring the spice. On the bad side, the association of garlic to bad breath is discussed. On the other side, its purported health benefits are also discussed. Other topics presented include its assoc
