Movie Reviews of Little Dieter Needs to Fly
Movie Review: Dieter & Herzog Will Capture & Keep Your Attention
Summary: 4 Stars
Very compelling story and moving re-enactment of a grueling, death-defying prisoner of war escape by an amazing human being, Dieter Dengler. While I had not heard of Dengler before watching this film, I've read several first-hand prisoner-of-war accounts from the Vietnam War and found Herzog's documentary not only intriguing but revealing of the man who went through those horrible experiences. That was a unique dimension that heightened my interest in the film and my appreciation of Herzog as a director.
This is the first of Herzog's films/documentaries that I had seen, and it whetted my appetite for more of his work. I think it's much better than Rescue Dawn, starring Christian Bale although I enjoyed that one too.
LITTLE DIETER is fascinating from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone who's a Herzog fan but hasn't seen this film yet AND to those who are interested in military affairs, especially those during the Vietnam War.
Summary of Little Dieter Needs to Fly
Educational Media Network-Winner, Golden Apple 1999 Biarritz International Festival of Audiovisual Programming-Winner, Silver FIPA 1999 San Francisco International Film Festival-Winner, Golden Spire 1998 International Documentary Association- Winner IDA Award 1997 Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival-Winner, Special Jury Award As a young boy, Dieter Dengler watched as Allied planes destroyed his village. From that instant, he knew that he wanted to fly. So at 18, he moved to America, enlisted in the Navy, and was promptly shipped off to Vietnam. During one of his first missions, however, Dengler was shot down over Laos and taken prisoner. Despite torture and starvation-at one point he weighed 85 pounds-he escaped, and after a harrowing journey through the jungle on foot, returned home. Today, even comfort and success cannot dispel the demons of his past. In this remarkable, award- winning documentary, director Werner Herzog returns to the jungle with Dengler, to tell an incredible tale of courage and survival against impossible odds.
