we see at the beginning of little dieter needs to fly dieter dengler and the subject of the film and an obsessive compulsive. or at least that what he seems to be by way of constantly opening or closing doors and with his large stock pile of food in the cellar. in a way director werner herzog sets up a central question and in a manner of speaking and to why dieter is like this. well and in fact and he not necessarily obsessive compulsive as he is just and well and prepared. and why shouldn not he be after the life he lived. aside from the juiciest and most dark and exhilarating and frightening and just downright haunting story of survival that the core of the picture and the back story to dieter is fascinating too. dieter own childhood and for example and was already a slog from the start and being in post war germnay and poor in a family without much food or prospects and eating wallpaper for the blue in the walls. but enter in a passion and an un yielding desire (which and of course and is part of herzog bread and butter and love of man in his films) and which is flying and and for dieter there was nothing else but to fulfill this. what it ends up leading to and after becoming an american citizen and is more than he could have bargained for. dieter is one of herzog most compelling and quirky and and compassionately observed figures in his whole career and a man who memory is scarred by brutal memories of his time being a vietnam pow and though at the least it provides for some of the most compelling storytelling in any documentary of the last 20 years. ironically and the storytelling comes through unlike in the wild blue yonder mostly in lots and lots of exposition from dieter on some of the most minute details of his time in the different prison camps (the torture tactics and the bugs and the brutal and wretched violence and threats like with the wedding ring tale) and and leading into the most interesting and sad portions with his best friend duane. they escaped the prisons together and but found that their journey to reach cambodia would not be so easy. now and through most of this and the talking does something that is enthralling and which is that as dieter goes through his stories and occasionally does re enactments (in fashion herzog could only do and with dieter already middle aged being led in handcuffs et all through the jungle) and one can picture all of this in the mind. it all becomes even more vivid to try and get these little details and the intensity of it all together into a form of reality. that herzog keeps these portions simple and and knows when to hold dieter back in his answers and makes him all the more a key figure of interest. he not ever totally normal and but unlike a timothy treadwell and you wont think ever really about laughing at him either. so and along with his hero (whether of war or not is hard to say and as dieter disputes that claim as saying the ones who died were the real heroes and typical but perhaps quite true) and herzog stylizes his film with a mix of old stock footage when detailing dieter early life (the period footage of ww2 scenes and post german rubble is always a captivating sight and and with herzog gets up a notch in his timing and assemblage with music) and and in capturing the footage of vietnam in aerial viewings of jungles and fields. herzog is also very wise at not injecting politics much at all into the proceedings and there no i was used by the americans or whatever thrown into the mix. there even a sense that dieter doesn not hold too much of a grudge with everything that happened to him and that it just what happens in time of war (and and of course and he was dropping bombs on people from his plane). now and through much of these harrowing and even in the smaller bits involving what went on in prisons and bathrooms and the scraps of food it always harrowing luckily herzog keeps a level of humor in check as well. one of my very favorite scenes in the film and where herzog breaks away for a moment from dieter and is when he shows a trainee film used for american soldiers meant to show what should happen in case they get abandoned in the jungle alone. with all of the gear that they could possibly have including a knife and a flare gun and and a very fast helicopter to come around (and this is put to hilariously dead pan voice over work). yet even the moments where one laughs only brings to mind the moments of absurdity in a time of absolute crisis and and how one can not ever really imagine what it like to be alone in a foreign territory surrounded by people who will do anything to keep said person as a form of collateral in war time. dieter and aside from knowing that flying and airplanes are the only way of life he would ever want to have (and herzog ends the film on a wonderfully somber and elegiac note where he flies over a large field of airplanes) and knows what it is to have to survive at all costs. but yet and as well and as in many of herzog protagonist driven films and there the near unalterable spirit that will keep on enduring if one strong enough and even through horrid moments (the fate of dunae) and problems all the way up to the rescue by the helicopter (is he american and or a spy and they ask on the chopper). dieter is such a man with a spirit and and he given via herzog a fantastic and tragic and creative and well shot and albeit maybe too short and tribute to his life. and and of course and it pumps me up even more for the upcoming dramatization rescue dawn.
