:56:05
I didn't know how to calm him
down, and then I had an inspiration.
:56:09
I went to my hut, where, for months
I had hidden a piece of chocolate.
:56:15
We would almost have killed one
another for something like that.
:56:18
I went back to him, going right into
his face and ate the chocolate.
:56:23
All of a sudden he was quiet.
This was utterly beyond him.
:56:27
Towards the end of shooting, the
indians offered to kill Kinski for me.
:56:34
They said:
"Shall we kill him for you?"
:56:36
And I said: "No, for God's sake!
I still need him for shooting.
:56:41
Leave him to me!"
:56:43
I declined, at the time, but
they were dead serious.
:56:46
They would have killed him,
undoubtedly, if I had wanted it.
:56:50
I at once regretted that I held the
indians back from their purpose.
:56:57
The proposal to do away with
Kinski came from this Chief.
:57:09
The rage the indians felt toward
Kinski was exploited for this scene.
:57:30
Kinski maintained that he felt close
to the indians, but this wasn't true.
:57:36
He wanted to pretend that he
was close to 'Nature's Children'...
:57:41
...and thus to 'Mother Nature'.
:57:50
Between Kinski and me there
was an unbridgeable gap.
:57:55
This had to do with his
feeling for nature.
:57:57
He stylized himself as
the 'Natural Man'.
