  • This is anything but cynicism. I can not believe that the comment above has 40 likes. Maybe the internet has finally become stupid, despite our best attempts to keep stupid people disinterested. Name one cynical thing about anything Herzog has said here! There is nothing! And to suggest that Herzog has "intellectualized" himself out of the ability to experience beauty just because you don't approve of the way he talks is incredibly daft. @solconnection2 is the only deadpan cynic I see here...

  • This is the best video on youtube.

  • @flyinghamster9 i do love a good herzog speech. He is somewhat of a cynic though. Even in this video he mentions 'singing birds screeching in pain.' This is a very negative outlook simply because its obvious birds do not make their calls repeatedly out of pain. Where he mentions rotting and death he neglects the cycle that also creates life. He is not a realist, he is one-sided.

  • ze horror...ze horror...

  • hahaha, everything he says is so wrong. interesting, but so deeply wrong :)

  • solconnection2 and I really agree 99% about Herzog; we were just splitting hairs =D (glass half full/glass half empty)

  • @flyinghamster9 you're absolutely right, and the proof is that Herzog's films dig into reality and show a deeper and greater beauty than the common concept of it; so it's obvious that not only he can experience beauty, but he esperiences it much more than average people.

  • @Alessandro1985 Germanic philosophy is all like this.

  • @flyinghamster9 Do you even know what cynicism is? Everything he says reeks of it, and everything you're saying reeks of the same sort of phony-intellectualist aura surrounding all the kids from my college.

  • @thekkl I agree, nature is the perfect mirror for oneself.
