:12:00
He had appeared in huge arenas,
in the Deutschland Halle in Berlin...

:12:05
...and the audience merely
wanted to watch him rave.

:12:09
He was laughed at, had terrible
fits and raved and screamed...

:12:17
...and arrived here at our location as
a derided, misunderstood Jesus.

:12:22
He had wholly identified with his
role and continued to live on in it.

:12:26
Often, it was difficult to talk to him,
because he answered like Jesus.

:12:32
in his earlier phase you could
watch him in similar self-stylizations.

:12:36
As François Villon,
the poor, vagrant poet.

:12:41
Then as Dostoyevsky's idiot,
and later in his life, as Paganini.

:12:49
What is more, he had been
fascinated by the screenplay...

:12:56
...which had a different beginning
from the finished film.

:13:01
in the script, there was a scene on
a glacier at an altitude of 17,000 ft.

:13:07
A huge procession of altitude sick
pigs advances towards you.

:13:12
Only later would you realize that
this was part of a Spanish army...

:13:18
...of adventurers, accompanied
by 800 or a 1000 indian auxiliaries.

:13:28
All this was cut from the script.
:13:30
Nevertheless, Kinski arrived
with half a ton of alpine equipment.

:13:37
He brought tents, sleeping bags,
crampons and ice axes.

:13:46
He badly wanted to expose
himself to wild nature...

:13:50
...but had some rather insipid
ideas about it.

:13:53
Mosquitos were not allowed in
his jungle, neither was rain.

:13:57
After establishing him in his tent,
it started to rain and he got wet.
