  • Wolfgangle: Because that's the definition of genius—it is defined by its rarity. Otherwise the term would be invalidated. Herzog would lack significance. I would rather have the few, rare Herzogs than an abundance of them castrating significance, rendering all artistic genius into nothing more than obfuscated banality. At least that's how I feel. For whatever value it's worth?

  • He's simply brilliant, and also perhaps one of the greatest showman around. If you pay close enough to him you'll see that he doesn't take himself seriously at all, while everyone else takes his word as gospel -he consumes attention! I would follow him right into Hell!

  • I find his view interesting, but I don't think I can fully agree. Nature may be filled with obscenity and murder but it above all (in my mind) it is lush with life. Everything is alive. The animals, insects and plants that die are always replaced by more life. Even in the harshest climates life fights the odds. Any kind of fixed paradise that removed competition from survival would have no differentiation between joy and suffering and could be said to hellish in its indifference instead.

  • @xTimmaex Oh, and the eastern mindset understand that? I make my meditations, know about Hindu, Tao, etc.

    But Herzog has a very interesting point of view. And c´mon, the Buddhists are more "negative" , they said ""life is suffering". Herzog says: fight motherfucker!!!

  • @neurojammer shut up dude

  • werner herzog is a hard man.

  • My favorite is the intonation at 0:36 to 0:40. His deadpan is repressing the most hysterical emotion there. I fucking love him.

    Mueeerdah.

  • No, he understands it all very clearly. He sees it as a harmony. Just a discordant one.

  • Burden of Dreams. Amazing!

    Give it up to Les Blank

  • I think you hit the nail on the head there bud!

  • his movies are good but his views here are only typical for someone with a western mindset who doesn't understand why things in the jungle are happening and how everything is connected. of course it's easier to say everything is cruel and senseless than looking closer at it and seeing the links.

  • Bla, bla, blahhhh...
