Act 1, Scene 1

Gradually, as Gurnemanz and Parsifal continue to move, has the scene changed more and more noticeably; the woods have disappeared and in the rocky wall a doorway has opened, through which they pass and which closes behind them. On a rising path they move between the rocks until the scene has completely changed. Gurnemanz and Parsifal now enter the great hall of the Grail Castle.

Does anything else think that Gurnemanz looks like Kyle MacLachlan from Dune? I know it's after Parsifal but very similar face and costume.

@sirmercutio99. You have not addressed the points I made, and you have insulted the German National Socialists (Nazis). This exchange is over.

[sirmercutio99]

@NIETZSCHEAN14 Aryans =/= Blue eyed blond haired Germans. That's something the Nazi's created and has been long disproved. At most they'd look like light skinned Indians or Parsi's. Blond hair/ blue eyes are a recessive trait for people who live in colder climates. As a Buddhist, and a Indian/European I hate the Nazi's use of the Swastika.

@sirmercutio99. Except one thing - the Aryans (Whites) were the founders of Hinduism (caste system started by Whites) and Buddhism. If you do some research, you will find that the Buddha had blue eyes! Read 'March of the Titans' (free on the Internet). The Aryans (Whites) created civilizations all over the world, only to then be destroyed through race-mixing, as in the case of India and Egypt. Do some politically incorrect research and you will find truths you will not find on television.

@NIETZSCHEAN14 Except one thing- The swastika comes from Indian culture and is associated with Hinduism and Buddhism.

[NIETZSCHEAN14]

It is good to see the swastika flag in this film. White people should never be ashamed of the swastika, it is one of our ancient symbols, and unless you have believed the wartime propaganda lies about the Germans, you should not have a problem with it. If you do have a problem with it, I suggest you go to CODOHDOTCOM, and do some reading.

@Capt777harris Don't know, but agian I think it's cause of Syberberg's direction. It's odd, I thought it would intresting to Parsifal as a modern gnostic play.

[Capt777harris]

Another question here; why not just shoot the opera as Wagner intended it? Why throw in all these artistic curve-balls? I mean, isn't the idea to attract people to the old art form, and not turn them off with some wacked out artistic free hand?

[Capt777harris]

@sirmercutio99 Yeah, is seemed more like a historic overview than anything really to do with Nazism or fascism in general.

[sirmercutio99]

@Capt777harris I would assume that the banners are from the pre second empire when Germany was a group of individual states. (Prussia, Bavaria, etc,) I agree probaly has to do with German milllitarism and nationalism. I think Syberberg was a bit on the nationalist side.
