  • 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.

  • 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.

  • @utube321go Don't be racist. It's his film, and what he's saying is immensely profound. The jungle is chaotic, that's why we don't live there. There is no unity within nature, it's kill or be killed. And that's where most people get there love for it. It's in that natural chaos, untapped by man, formed from the bowels of this planet we assigned unity to, it contradicts us at every turn. It makes fools in love out of us all.
