@@pirate.mp3 super interesting channel and I look forward to what you bring next. I think you did an incredible job on this and I can tell you worked very hard on it. Thank you. (Side note) a Gene Wider doc would be cool 😎

Only part missing is the time he got shot during a TV interview. It´s only with an air rifle, but it´s still so werner of him how nonchalantly he reacts.
The old-school directors are a completely different breed, huh? "I regret speaking french when i was forced to do it at gunpoint by drunken soldiers." tells some fundamental things about his personality. Also, thank the algoritm for introducing your work to me. You deserve more views and subscriptions!
I love that his film masterclass consisted of things like teaching how to pick locks and how to film on locations without having a permission to shoot.
Werner Herzog is a man committed to conveying the immensity and depth of an entire life in a two hour film. His thesis has always been marvelling at how a human being will crawl desperately and quixotically towards the thing they hold dearest, even at the cost if everything else.
Currently reading "Conquest of the Useless" by Wernor Herzog. It's less like a production diary, but more of a dive into his state of mind, his mania, his depression and his downfall into the depths of psychedelic jungle madness - all to create Fitzcarraldo. Must read!
@pirate.mp3 Well take it as serious criticism then cause it is. Sounds a.i. generated. Still good content. From your weird reaction you make it seem more true
Thanks! I had a foggy idea of Werner Herzog and his films and then by accident watched "the grizzly man" and man it was captivating! Half docu half Werner doing his thing. It still haunts me in a way when I think of it.
Blessed be the algorithm that brought me here. 25 minutes ago i had no idea who the man that is the focus of this essay was, now i am intrigued to learn more, to watch his movies, to become his fan. Amazing work.
@@canobenitez French often refuse to speak English (for example). Some people say it's because of pride but I know for a fact that it's just because they are terrible at speaking English.
One of the first things I learned about Herzog outside of him being a director was his opinion on requesting the destruction of the Timothy Treadwell footage. As upsetting and profound it is to experience in its full, with the visualization of a talented director, the lessons to be learned from his mistakes are paramount to defining our path as an ignorant species.
The unremarkable life I've led might explain why my filmmaking is also unremarkable. Herzog is definitely right about the impact that real life experiences have on cinema.
Pls don’t say that. Your life and your particular perspective of the world is unique, and just as beautiful as anyone else’s. Herzog feels unique because he is fearlessly authentic, being himself. Be like Herzog.
All life is remarkable! Maybe you find yourself creating work you deem unremarkable because you are disconnected from what is remarkable in your own life, creating remarkable art is not about going out and being crazy, it’s about noticing the remarkable and presenting it as best you can. Some of the best artists I know live the quietest lives and are interested only in the smallest things!
Very well done. I'm German and knew large parts of the story already, but editing and narration kept me watching. Really well done. Don't take the people too seriously talking about your pronunciation. It's fine. "Rainer Werner Fassbinder" Was quite a mouthful it seems. Great video, looking forward to seeing more videos of you
The life this man lived and the stories that he has to tell are beyond fascinating and i really envy him for that. Compared to his, my life feels very mundane.
This is excellent. I think you have a flair for covering madness. The rhythm and deliberate voice over style is perfect for it. Could be a good lane for you to go down. Mad artists, of which there are seemingly endless amounts. Sort of like 'Tales from the Tour Bus', but avant garde subjects, not rock and roll.
Now imagine Werner Herzog arguing with Klaus Kinsky... now that's scary... My dream discussion/interview would be Herzog, Klaus Kinsky, Francis Ford Coppola, and Dennis Hopper discussing how to make a movie about a boat going up a river in the jungle...
Oh damn bro, you’re gonna blow up quick. Never would have even realized how new of a creator you are had i not checked the comments after finishing the vid. Idk what your channels main focus is on but i like this format. And there are a hell of alot more artists from both the past and present who would really deserve exceptional videos made about them. Just subscribed and im excited to see more. GG
I have a particular deep fascination with artists suffering from severe mental deterioration(schiz, altzh, dementia, and so on) the gradual effect’s shown in their art.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m actually a film person by profession, and was thinking of transitioning to just film related topics. But crazy artists in general would also be interesting, let me know if you have any favorite artists!
@@pirate.mp3 well when i say artists i dont just mean like painters and stuff. I use it as a blanket term for authors, filmmakers, musicians, painters, and anything else thats similar. In my opinion you seem far too talented to focus solely on film related videos but if thats your passion then thats what you focus on. Plus i dont know shit about the subject so there very well could be endless amounts of interesting things to learn. Either way keep it up bro.
@@pirate.mp3 oh and franciso goya for painting, stephen king for film, not necessarily the movies he has directed but a lot of my favorite movies were based on his books
What and amazing video, truly ! The editing and choice of music is incredible ! Could you give me a list of the music used as I'd very much like to listen to the pieces in full ?
God…what I wouldn’t give for a Werner Herzog commentary on a classic wrestlemania from the 80s-90s. “Here we see an archetypal, Jungian spectre of death and eternal woe represented by the Undertaker and rather curiously, a Samoan American fellow depicting a Japanese sumo rikishi gone insane…”
Don't forget his early films. "Heart of Glass" and "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" are worth looking out for - HoG is surreal (though based on a true story).
Unlike other Germans, I'm confident he REALLY does have understanding of the concept of humor. I would say it's almost adequate. But without any associated stereotyical nihilism. If you appreciate film and especially documentary, you prob seen his already. KInda a 101 in terms of film directors you should study. if you're a movie head.
14:23 That’s a neat lil detail A normal well designed boat of the time of the replica would have something to prevent the anchor impaling itself, but the replica impalied itself
Herzog was not a student at the Munich film school, his friends were. This seems pedantic but this is a big part of Herzog as a person, he’s never been to film school and that’s on purpose.
Werner Herzog watching Wrestlemania makes so much sense.
Or Honey Bobo.
No it dosn't and that makes sense
The Madness of Werner Herzog 2043pm 7.12.24 Herzog speaking German, doesn't.
Hearing him low key praise Honey Booboo with that dry, German accent is something I didn't think I needed in my life

Werner is fine.
It's the world that is fucked

He deserves a medal just for managing to film so many movies starring Kinski without ending up killing him.
Or being killed by Kinski. He literally went to the Jungle with Kinski. Far away from any civilisation and help. And he came back in one piece.
Most sane german man
As a German man... I agree
Kinski or Herzog?
@@matthewglenguir7204hahahaha Kinsky definitely 😂
Wonderful artist.
@@matthewglenguir7204 Kinski is more like the average German man from that time.

Yes! I love to hear him narrating

Honestly, I would not be surprised if one day we found out he paid a guy to do it.

The recent novel about the Imperial Japanese soldier hold out from WW2 was just as poetic, give it a go.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Herzog's body of work is so impressive. He's definitely one of the interesting filmmakers ever.
There are few people on this planet that Ill miss when theyve left this world. Werner is among my top ten
I could listen for hours to Herzog telling stories. Fantastic deadpan humour - he must know how funny it is.
Certainly does.
Something @liampcarps portrays quite well in his shorts is how Germans are perfectly content making jokes only for themselves.

Jack reacher.
Lucky you!! I wish I could go back and see all his films for the very first time. Welcome to the party!
An incredible role model: an adventurer and artist who fearlessly says "yes" to everything life might throw at him.

Roses are just the cacti of everything that isn't a spaghetti western
As someone who has worked as a gardener: Roses are the devil. They seduce you then they hurt you bad.
Good stuff. Hertzog is one of the most interesting film makers ever.
Loved seeing older footage of Werner, helps give context to the evolution of his voice

Werner is brilliant. He’s so real. I love this man.
Herzog is a legend… This is PASSION!!!!!
Really enjoyed this ..... never knew how close to the edge he has lived .... dangerous, rebellious and always honest ... a true human spirit.

Thank you sir 🫡
Werner Herzog has been to Ebertfest on more than one occasion. A Q & A session with Herzog is a detour through the mind.
The life this man lived and the stories that he has to tell are beyond fascinating and i really envy him for that. Compared to his, my life feels very mundane.
My fav Werner movie is Aguirre. Great job on this video
When you realize he isn't crazy, he was just an honest man who sought out insane people, everything changes.
One of the best Herzog related video that i've seen out there, thanks a lot
