  • You don't need CGI if you have crazy German people.

  • "Filmmaking is the ability to articulate dreams..." That is the most beautiful description of a difficult and often misunderstood art.

  • Being an artist and writer much of my work and the stirrings of it all occur in solitude. But it is this same angst the I uncover, that I expose and that I escape from when I create a beauty that overcomes the ugliness in this life that I have never understood. My ignorance is some times overwhelming. I suppose this is what causes me to stop and look and try to understand the world around me and the human heart. It is ironic that at this very core is where I have managed to find peace.

  • Okay wow, so the jungle's not in harmony according to him, and his solution is showing up there, having natives haul a giant boat over dirt, talk trash about the place, kill the animals, and make money from that. Yes, truly a work of art.

  • What bird is singing in the background? Sounds awesome?

  • This guy is as ignorant as a Nazi.

  • The only thing he said that made any sense: "I should go to a lunatic asylum right away". The rest: bat shit insane.

  • What a distressingly colonial mindset.

  • The loud bird throughout the video is the screaming piha. It's not screaming in pain. That's the male's mating call. Herzog cracks me up.

  • What a happy guy. "Everything is in misery". He's not the guy hauling the boat. I take it he doesn't have too many close friends.

  • Bulls*it. WTF did he expected to find in the jungle? Bremem? Frankfurt?

  • It takes a person of higher awareness to see what he is seeing.
