	Lessons of Darkness (1992)
		Lessons of Darkness conveys the beauty and horror of fire in a way that Backdraft can't even touch.
		Lessons of Darkness has — and needs — very little narration because the lessons are right there in the images.
		Lessons is presented in widescreen (1.77:1 aspect ratio), enhanced for widescreen TVs, while Fata is in full-frame.

	Fata Morgana & Lessons of Darkness (Werner Herzog, 1971 & 1992)
		They are filmed the same as the mirages and sand - an equal part of this strange land which he has brought to us in a film so strange and audacious that only one man could have filmed it.
		He is not crying out against the Gulf War, or war in general, but the madness of human nature and unpretentious as always, places himself in the mix of mankind, not out of blame's reach.
		Lessons of Darkness, unlike it's title may suggest, is anything but didactic or inflammatory, yet hits the core of what drives humanity to such disturbing extremes and how quickly we turn a blind eye to our ignorant, short-sighted actions.

		So as I watched what I though was a condemnation of Iraqi aggression and callous disregard for the environment, I was actually watching a condemnation of war, and the abuses of man on his fellow man and on the Earth's fragile ecosystem.

	Film as Art: Danél Griffin's Guide to Cinema
		In Werner Herzog’s Lessons of Darkness, the famed German New Wave director finally reaches the inevitable conclusion that human nature is going to destroy itself, and that it might be too late to save.
		Lessons of Darkness is simultaneously one of the best documentaries, science fictions, and anti-war films ever made.
		I think that Lessons eventually provides a much clearer moral than Morgana, but they are particularly similar in the way that they reveal that the images of cinema are enough to evoke us, with spoken word and linear stories sometimes rendered obsolete.

	Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana Movie: Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		A collection of two documentaries by Werner Herzog, FATA MORGANA (1971) and LESSONS OF DARKNESS (1992), this program illustrates Herzog's sustained vision, one where nature and man are continually at war with one another.
		Poetic, beautiful, and often humorous, Herzog's images twist and turn in the mind, forcing the viewer to step outside themselves and look at the world as a combination and clash between the natural and the man made.
		LESSONS OF DARKNESS is ostensibly a documentation of Kuwait in the aftermath of the Gulf War, when oil fires were burning up the land and transforming the formerly beautiful countryside into a surreal new landscape.

	Lessons of Darkness (1992) -- RUTHLESS REVIEWS: Movies
		The rightful heir to the mesmerizing Fata Morgana, Lessons of Darkness is that film turned on its head.
		Quite comparatively Lessons of Darkness (and by association Fata Morgana) simply are not of our world.
		For we are not able to simply watch Lessons of Darkness and say, "yep, the Gulf War sucked," no. Rather we are forced, quite masterfully, into acknowledging that we suck.

		"Lessons of Darkness" (1992, 54 min., 1.78:1) - In the aftermath of the Gulf War, retreating Iraqi soldiers left the oil fields of Kuwait a raging inferno.
		True to form as perhaps the world's most death-defying filmmaker, Werner Herzog and a small camera crew arrived on the scene to film the carnage.
		What resulted was "Lessons of Darkness"--less a simple documentary about an environmental catastrophe than it is an apocalyptic vision of hell, Herzog has created a science fiction film, in which our planet vanishes beneath pillars of flame, oceans of oil, and impenetrable clouds of smoke.

	Lessons of Darkness / Fata Morgana DVD Review
		And, like "Lessons of Darkness", it manages to portray Earth as a particularly weird planet.
		An especially interesting point is Herzog's commentary about the mirages that he filmed; we can see that there is a bus (for example) in the distance, but Herzog tells us that when they went to the place where the bus should have been, they could see that there was nothing for miles around...

		Whatever the reason for its production, Lessons of Darkness (it's English title) is a stunning piece of work.
		Huge oil fires, the cratered burnt desert, dark oil spills, crumpled and abandoned machinery and war vehicles, appear in surreal and awesome parade which both take the viewer's breath away in their beauty and shock through the utter devastation.
		A central section, in which quiet footsteps walk alongside a ghastly display of torture implements, provides a shocking contrast to the images that open the film.

		As with the earlier film, Lessons either captures viewers or leaves them confused and bored within the first few minutes.
		It is obviously a contemporary urban area because we see highways, traffic, stoplights, and large buildings, but it is also obvious that it is not an American city.
		Lessons of Darkness triumphs as a mock Science Fiction story of an apocalypse that threatens all of civilization.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity
		Self-conquest as a preliminary to conquering the world of God — that was the lesson taught by Christ's life, and still more by His passion and death.
		In regard to the Gentiles, the same striking fact of the Resurrection was in the forefront of the Apostolic teaching, but more stress was laid upon the divinity of Christ.
		Paul, whose peculiar mission it was to approve the new revelation to those that sat in darkness and had no common ground of belief with the Jews, did not consider that his Gospel was anything different from that of the others.

		González Palma's prints are generally glazed with a dark sepia medium that tones all but selected portions of his prints.
		It is clear that González Palma endorses their cause and makes the brunt of his oeuvre bear a political message for their liberation.
		Pedagogically, it is a forced act of self-knowledge whose main lesson is: "You are the protagonists of your own history." Unfortunately, what is scream for some is heard as song by others who see only the exoticism of the imagery.

		Analysis is concentrated on the personal failings of the President or congressional leadership and not to the structures of the Constitution that magnify the consequences of personal failings on the part of the President or limit the ability of Congress to rein in the President if, for example, if requires the passage of new legislation.
		The one thing we're apparently not supposed to do is take too seriously the possible lessons of actually experiencing the Bush presidency and realizing that it might be worthwhile to try to figure out what can be done to prevent the re-occurence of such a disastrous event.
