Editing Aguirre, the Wrath of God (section)

===Influence===
[[Francis Ford Coppola]]'s 1979 film ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'', a film based on [[Joseph Conrad]]'s 1902 [[novella]] ''[[Heart of Darkness]]'', was also influenced by ''Aguirre'', containing seemingly deliberate visual "quotations" of Herzog's film.<ref name="Rubin">{{cite web|url=http://www.artic.edu/webspaces/siskelfilmcenter/2007/february/2.html |last=Rubin |first=Martin |title=Werner Herzog: Visionary at Large |publisher=[[Gene Siskel]] Film Center |access-date=2007-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224165959/http://www.artic.edu/webspaces/siskelfilmcenter/2007/february/2.html |archive-date=24 February 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=100264 |title=Aguirre, the Wrath of God|publisher=[[Channel 4]] Film|access-date=2007-03-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.davidsterritt.com/coppola.html|last=Sterritt|first=David|title=Coppola, 'Apocalypse Now,' and the Ambivalent 70's|publisher=DavidSterritt.com|access-date=2007-03-14}}</ref> Coppola himself has noted that "''Aguirre'', with its incredible imagery, was a very strong influence.

Several critics have noted that ''Aguirre'' appears to have had a direct influence on several other films. Martin Rubin has written that "[a]mong the films strongly influenced by ''Aguirre'' are Coppola's ''Apocalypse Now'' and [[Terrence Malick]]'s ''[[The New World (2005 film)|The New World]]'' (2005)".<ref name="Rubin" /> J. Hoberman agreed, noting that Herzog's "[[sui generis]] Amazon fever dream" was "the influence Malick's over-inflated ''New World'' can't shake."<ref name="Hoberman" /> [[Channel 4]] opined "This is an astonishing, deceptively simple, pocket-sized epic whose influence, in terms of both style and narrative, is seen in films as diverse as ''Apocalypse Now'', ''[[The Mission (1986 film)|The Mission]]'', ''[[Predator (film)|Predator]]'', and ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'' (1999)."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=100142|title=Aguirre The Wrath of God |access-date=13 August 2007|publisher=www.channel4.com| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070806132003/http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=100142| archive-date= 6 August 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref>
