Aguirre's office

From the Joe Aguirre thread:


--- Quote from: atz75 on January 11, 2008, 02:09:25 am ---I think his trailer office is particularly important.  If other folks have better images of his trailer interior... I'd be really grateful. :) There are so many details in this office and some crucial bits of information that get revealed at different times... especially the binoculars that he hangs on the wall behind him.  Of course, when Jack and Ennis are in his trailer together the binoculars are concealed in their case and when Jack comes back alone the next summer to ask for a job the binoculars are hanging in the same spot, but outside their case.  So, Jack is the only one who ever really understands the extent of Aguirre's ability to watch them... Ennis never even sees those binoculars at the beginning.  If Ennis had more of an idea about Aguirre's interest in watching them... I wonder how different things would have been between Jack and Ennis during their summer.

Here we go with the pics. I have increased the brightness very much so we're able to see the details. The first four pics are from 1963.

Penthesilea:
The next three are one year later, when Jack returns and asks for work and Ennis.

Penthesilea:
One more pic from the second year:




Look at the blue container on the counter behind Jack's right arm (left side, seen from us). Is this another thermos? And maybe a lunch-box?
In the first year, we see Aguirre's thermos (another one, bigger and silver) prominently.
Calling FRiend Lee: tell us sumpthn about containers, will ya?  :-*



I find it interesting that Aguirre has not only one fan in his office, but two. The big one in the wall, which so deliberately begins to turn when Jack comes in the second year, directly with the  "Look what the wind blew in"  comment from Aguirre. And another one on the cabinet to the right, next to the orange lamp.


And what is this cable at the left wall for? It looks as if it came out of the clock. But I've never seen a wall clock with a cable.


I didn't find a pic where the Jackalope can be seen on which Aguirre puts his hat the first summer. Has anyone a pic from it?

Brown Eyes:
Thanks for these great images Chrissi!  These are just what I was hoping to see.  :)

It's definitely interesting to note that Aguirre has not one, but TWO fans behind him.  I hadn't realized that before seeing these pics.

:)

I also love the different shots that show how the binoculars look (both in and out of their case) hanging on the wall.  The binoculars combined with the sunglasses really emphasize the idea of Aguirre as the agent of the "look" or of "observation."

Brown Eyes:


Heya,

I'm bumping this because Aguirre's office all of a sudden has become a hot topic again in the Confetti Quz thread.

:)
