The Greatest Moment In The History Of Cinema

[griniiohgf]

i believe animal ethic codes WERE followed in this scene, as the monkey you see crucified is actually just a grapefruit with some tinsel wrapped around it. you had to adapt to the quality of film back then... ahem

[zizarz]

Learn to play Ape Escape..

I love Herzog's films: aguirre, fitzcarraldo, and many of his various documentaries, but that monkey better have not been hurt.

[johngreen120]

This scene really is great, it just brings together all of the other strangeness from the rest of the film and throws it at you all at once. It's almost as if the little people has become kings of their own little world, just full of chaos and beauty...love it.

[benhereford]

Hey can someone please tell me what I'm smoking? Is that a monkey?

[genepoolshallow]

And the monkey never threw poo again...

[BigTMan1]

I must be on some weird drug again - what the fuck did I just witness?

[arobey2291]

i'm not a crazy animal activist but theres something about this that i just don't like

[DerrickthePinecone]

If anything, I hope the monkey lived.

Must see this weirdness soon.

[Asymmeter]

Congratulations, it sounds like you're nearing the end of your freshman year of college, mattlee...

They think they know everything after a 100 level philosophy class... I remember that phase :D

Be sure to link your comment to your study group, they'll love it!

[mattleemattlee123]

Self hatred is a terrible thing. That is what modern art (painting, music, cinema) boils down to in the final analysis. Ugliness. Mockery. Satire solely for the sake of tearing down. No hope. No beauty. No grace.

To say this is great only illustrates the depths to which contemporary man (fueled by the hate-filled education system) has sunk. I'm sorry for all of you.

[lezvarthok]

it just makes fun, dood. because a monster for example can offer way more easy access to free creativity then a symetrical valuefilled human face, which we expect to be in a certain way (bonestructure). its not always that deep :)

[sclogse1]

Check out what Sarte said about Giacometti....

[JackMoranRain]

If thats what you think modern art (painting, music, cinema) boils down to, than i fell sorry for you. to me all i see is greatness , wonder and emotionally moving and life altering beauty, the same as in all forms of art (Cinema, music, tv, video games...).

Art is humanities grassiest achievement (as well as science IMO) and i am in love with all forms of it. i am sorry if to you that is how things look, but maybe you just need to take a some advice from Allen Ball and

"Look Closer"

[NextStep21]

the greatest moment in the history of film- agreed

[sclogse1]

that spinning car....wonderful. Too bad it's introduced in a sophmore voice...(Greatest whatever) How about, Ladies and gentlemen, this.

[StingWolfpack]

Viva Herzog!

[Rolanddaniels77]

this is fucked up in so many ways i cant even begin to list them all

[radzeadze]

OK it takes a little bit for me to say something is weird but I think I can safely say that is weird...good bless the Germans and their fun loving dwarves

[miguel061]

WTF hahahaha poor monkey.

[denkbeeld]

Hi, brilliant upload :) Anyone knows what the african music in the background is? I love it.

[paul11214]

I have no clue what all of this means, but it looks very fascinating.

[typeanoise]

Trent Reznor got his idea of the monkey in his video closer from this.

[sillyfullaobay]

haha

did the same shit n mushys once

[sugarpuddin88]

Brilliant!

Bravo!

[BooRadleysGhost]

trippy

[paracite187]

oh man pls god kill all midgets

[taker23456]

this is retarded

[anonymouswhore]

WTF is up with the African choral music, lol

[Asymmeter]

True - Herzog promised his cast that if they made it through the rest of the filming with no further injuries, he would dive into a cactus patch, naked iirc. And so he did. Also, the midget only sustained minor injuries in those incidents.

[Mick342]

Yeah And His Eating of A SHOUE When Erol Morris Made His First Film

[RoadsideNerve]

I'm sure the monkey regretted to hear that.

[Gmarcus8]

I red that a midget was burnd and run over by that van. but the director made it up to him/her

[ZomBEEandJesus]

ah yes.  i remember this
