He never fails to put warmth in my heart, a smile on my face, and existential despair in my soul. ❤️
So nicely put :-)
Beautifully put:).
Just cried so much by hearing the way Herzog told the story beautifully. It is very sad for humanity that people like Onoda ( the summary is MISSPELLING his last name !!) had to go through and PSTD rest of his life. Also it is well concluded by Colbert that all these reality of the serious and sad war story with the sponsor joke.
Yes, this, exactly. The warmth in the heart at the same time as existential despair. A beautiful paradox. He is pure and beautiful.
I know he’s like a beautiful dagger to the heart ♥️
I can only hope the audience can grab the importance of this man and his art for mankind.
Fan Fiction Werner Herzog's Answers To Our Deepest Questions (to be read in Werner Herzog voice)
What is an angel?
A pure spirit
What is an arcangel?
A pure spirit with knowledge of itself.
What is God?
Love, the force of creation.
What is Satan?
Hate, the force of destruction.
What is Hell?
The chaotic manifestation, the fire, the heat, the burning, the inferno.
What is Heaven?
The orderly manifestation, the bliss, the peace, the light, the tranquility.
What are humans?
A physical vessel that translates the spiritual energies into material things. Our minds govern our bodies in a feedback loop. When we tell truths we get closer to the heavens. When we tell lies we descend into the madness of hell itself.
What is the purpose of life?
Besides the immediate pleasure of existence, we are hear to learn the physical lessons that inform our spiritual manifestations. We basically 'come down' from Heaven and are born into these physical bodies to be educated by experience. Everything we do in this life has deep spiritual ramifications for our future lives. The way we treat people, the way we act, the things we say and do, they all tell a story, a quintessential story about our soul, a story about the soul of mankind itself. Our individual story informs the collective story of humanity, and ultimately life itself. This collective story is essentially what we call 'the bible' in our culture, but it's important to remember that every culture has a story that it tells, and even though these stories are told in different ways it's important to remember that they are all talking about the same things, and that the ultimate theme of these stories is about the redemption of humanity, the transcendence of our physical limitations and how that transcendence becomes the essence of our spirituality.

Surely you jest!
@@yogadr6 Watch Fizcarraldo, Aguirre and all that came afterwards. He is pure genius.
If Werner Herzog ever wins an Oscar, it will add legitimacy to the Oscars, instead of the other way around.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
@@julianmark Well, one of them, anyway.
The Oscars don’t mean shit anymore.
@@TheWelchProductions Literally his/her point…
I couldn't agree more!!!! ♥️👍🏻
A master storyteller. His films are so emotional because he intuitively gets to the heart of what is most interesting.
Me: Why should I watch a documentary about volcanos? Oh, Herzog made it. Okay, I take a look.
2 hours later Me: All of humanity has to watch this...
The man, the myth, the legend. Werner Herzog is definitely the most interesting guy in the room.
He's the most interesting guy in any room, period.
I could listen to Herzog speak forever and never tire of it. He's simply amazing.

Such a great storyteller.
My favorite story he’s told is when he realized his friend, John Waters, might be a homosexual. It’s on UA-cam somewhere.
Colbert sniffs Joe Bidens ass .
@@DontcallmeaCuck nice try, troll. I’m not biting.
Huge fan of Herzog! Excellent seeing him still in good health! He truly is a masterful storyteller and incredible filmmaker!
I love Werner Herzog. He is as amazing and interesting as his films are.
Mr. Herzog has made movies that are "must see" !! I love his work he is a true master.
'And I decided to move out now and sell this because I'm moving to Orlando, Florida, to be close to Disney World.' God, I love Werner Herzog so much.
Aguirre: The Wrath Of God is an unforgettable movie by Herzog that turned me on to his films. He is really impossible to pigeonhole as a director.
Amazing movie, consisting (in a sense) wholly of a surreal atmosphere.
His accent is so amazing and distinct. It’s like hearing a song I used to listen to.
I remember the story of Onoda as I was living in Japan at the time and the huge story that it was. Such an amazing story.
*PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT OF AMAZING MOVIES THIS MAN HAS MADE*
*HE IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC MOVIE MAKERS IN HUMAN HISTORY*
Herzog proves again that he's an incredible story teller!
I absolutely love Werner Herzog! His view and existentialism are universal and very important. Herr Herzog is a legend and a culturally significant and important individual.
This man as been a gem since i was a child. Gonna hurt when hes gone but you also gotta love his work
It will definitely suck when he's gone
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him on three different occasions including at a cemetery and on a same flight. There’s no “character”or facade… he’s as real as it gets.
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser Was an amazing and moving film, based on an actual person's sad life.
Absolutely!
Such a treat. Always wonderful to hear him talk. He has written a great account of a winter walk he took from Germany to Paris, “of walking on ice”.
During Pandemic, my mom, and I were watching a marathon from Herzog's movies, starring Klaus Kinski "the person who determined his career as a filmmaker" despite they both intended to murder each other on the set. On the other hand, I'm glad he's back with "The twilight world" which is his first novel. I'm dying to read it.
One of my most favorite filmmakers. Fitzcarraldo is a masterpiece
Werner what a legend ❤️
I'm fond of watching Herzog's Nosferatu every Halloween. I'm a big fan of his films.
👻
I am so happy to see Werner Hertzog, passionate man. love his body of work. love seeing him in his own movies.
I'm sure Herzog knows, but Onoda was not the last hold-out. A few months later another was found, known as Teruo Nakamura. He was a Taiwanese aborigine who had volunteered for the Japanese army in 1943. As he was not Japanese, and a private unlike Onoda, there was uncertainty about how to treat him and he didn't excite the imagination of Japan like Onoda did.
He chose to be repatriated stright to Taiwan and never set foot in Japan, but as an aboriginal born during the Japanese occupation he was legally stateless. The Taiwanese government gave him a Chinese name he never used and he lived only another four years dying of lung cancer at 59. His real name was Attun Palalin.
In a world where many feel disempowered toward creating positive change, I'm so thankful we still have storytellers like him.
Aside from Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Aguirre everyone needs to watch Lessons of Darkness and The White Diamond - both are absolutely fascinating and hypnotic.
His voice is great in narrations. And with his words, can bring existential questions and insights into anything.
he is like Bergman in a cheery mood!
I expect to see Mr. Herzog on Late Night with Seth Meyers soon. There’s a whole ongoing saga with Seth and his super fans about Werner Herzog.
Hi 👋 I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just want to go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourage me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment.
Stay safe 🌹❤️
He was! I was waiting for that Herzog impression but it didn't come ahaha
Love watching and listening to Werner, so youthful at heart and mind. Great interview Stephen! His voice is so distinctive and iconic, in so many ways. So multitalented in acting, directing, writing and in his storytelling way of speaking. Beautiful German charismatic down to earth gentleman. ❤ 🇩🇪 😍😘🥰 🎞️ 🎭 🎥🎬 🖊️ 📚 😌👑💎⚜️🏆
What an incredible incredible story teller. With just his voice, I felt so captured. Just incredible
Wow! The great Werner Herzog on national TV. Love it and love him. What an amazing film maker he is. I saw Aguirre, The Wrath Of God in a movie theater in the 1970s and my film viewing life was changed from that night on.
This is a treat, Fitzcarraldo is on my list of all time favorite movies. I also love Herzog’s accent, it doesn’t seem like a typical German accent, it has a certain roundness to it.
That's right, it sounds a bit Austrian, probably because he's from a Bavarian town near the Austrian border. It's the same with his German, he sounds more Austrian than German to me.
@@Bitfire31337within a language there are many many dialects, imagine that
@@caroskaffee3052 Ach, was du nicht sagst 😉.
Just wanted to locate his accent a bit for our American friends, which probably make up most of the viewers and readers here.
What a legend! 👏
I love this man, his works and how he can show up in the most unexpected things. His role as narrator in the mockumentary on Obama's first election win in the animated series 'The Boondocks' is the stuff of legends.

Another great story fr Herr Herzog. If you haven't seen "Aguirre, the Wrath of God", do so, 1 of the best films ever
He sees the beauty and reality of the world. Love him.
I spent the entire video staring off into a dark corner, contemplating the ephemeral existence of man...
Don’t be afraid to take deep talk seriously.
I have to confess. I got introduced to this incredible actor, a man with a captivating voice, in "The Mandalorian". Better late than never.
You are absolutely right. And on the flipside - believe me or not: Werner Herzog told in an interview, he was never aware of the Star Wars narrative universe until he got casted for "The Mandalorian" and put his mind on it. Better late than never.
Oh my god. To be that pure!! You have a wonderful journey ahead of you. Start with The early films !!
@@weirdloverwilde I'm on top of it already 🥰
Have to admit, I always see him as the villain from Tom Cruise's 'Jack Reacher' movie. Supremely driven and focused, and truly chilling. Almost surprised there wasn't a Twilight joke but I guess he's a little too respectable for that, as is the subject matter for the book. That level of dedication just makes you want to stand to attention and salute.
What a storyteller. I know that story about the Japanese soldier, but havent heard all those details before 💕
Werner Herzog is one of my favorite PFT characters. Probably took me a couple years to realize he was a real person.
Just finished ‘Into the Abyss’ Werner Herzog is absolutely captivating! A real treasure!
He made Texas 7 also right?
Having Werner Herzog on your talk show is an honor. He deserves a standing ovation when he gets up to go to bathroom.
Hi 👋 I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just want to go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourage me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment.

Verner's an incredible gift to film fans.
Werner, actually.
Actually Onoda wasn't the last: Teruo Nakamura surrendered a little later that year.
Very Awesome interview,
Thank You, Again!
The show 'Archer' did an episode based on Hiroo Onada a few years back.
Can't wait for the book.
just a smooth enter view with a classy closing
Can not get enough of Werner Herzog!
This is the most incredible story I’ve ever heard. Wild. 🤯
Werner Herzog can be Original and be on Seth’s show!
I immediately thought of Seth Myers too 😂
🐾
🐾🐾
This sparks joy
What a wonderful storyteller Werner is. I cannot wait to read this book!
What a storyteller. Love him. The only thing I love more is Paul F. Tompkins impression of him.
I could listen to him for hours. What a fascinating guy.
Love this interview. Would love to see Fallon talk if you can even call it that with Herzog. Colbert couldn't have done better. Simply letting the man speak. Fantastic.
Why would you want to see that
@@alxsend8045 I was being facetious. Lol. That would be most likely terrible. Imagine Herzog doing one of those inane games.
An amazing mind and a supremely gifted storyteller...
This book is your next movie, Werner 💖🎬🎥🏆 and narrated by you with your very soothing voice.
I hope Seth Myers can use this wonderful interview to help him differentiate his herzog from his waltz
Seth seriously needs to research the difference between a Munich accent and a Vienna accent.
Plot twist - it’s Seth in the interview and he’ll reveal it in this week’s Corrections.
1:36-2:00 What he is saying is essentially similar to Goffman's presentation of the self in everyday life. Fascinating stuff.
Yes! Werner Herzog is making the rounds. Just seen his interview with Seth. Can't get enough.
I loved this story ever since I saw it referenced on Archer
Pure delight.
"I am Werner Herzog, and you are listening to KRBX, radio Boise and BEYOND!" Stream public radio Boise! Keeping Idaho weird, even though, you know.
The Twilight World sounds like a great story for a movie.
Stephen Spielberg, are you listening?
there is a movie called onoda from 2021, quite good.
His documentaries are top notch. I first was fascinated by his work with Grizzly man. Then "Cave of forgotten dreams" is absolutely fantastic
Werner Herzog is a treasure!
One of my tattoos is a couple of prehistoric cats from Chauvet in Cave of Forgotten Dreams. That movie inspired me to get the ink done so thanks Mr Herzog!
I replay scenes from his films in my head frequently
Love this gentleman 💕
One of his most powerful documentaries is called "From one second to the next" about distracted driving.
Herzog brings up the question of reality in perspective. Onada lived a reality that was reinforced by a personal code and a narrow and profoundly prejudiced perception of events outside his jungle.
Loved him in the Boondocks Episode 👏
what a story!
It’s 2022 and the YT algorithm still never suggests the rest of the interview videos, which I’d watch instantly.
Herzog. The voice of existential despair.
Incredible Story!!!
Werner Herzog exudes both a villainous energy, as well as cute grandpa vibes.
for Americans maybe.,For the rest of the worlds his is one of the most talented artists of our time and a friendly, nice person on top
He's not remotely villainous, imho.
@@Orbitalbomb I'm German myself and I stand by my comment ;P
@@LucasBenderChannel I would have said that the only villainous thing about him was his German accent, for ignorant non Germans that is
Uhhh, Herzog bei Colbert. Top! Greatings from Hamburg.
I love Werner Herzog as much as I love Wrestlemania.
Now THIS is a true guest of honor
my boy herzog. love that voice.
Usually i can't stand Colbert, but these were fantastic leading questions. He was quiet and let this legend speak his mind.
Brilliant and a treasure.
Love!
Werner looks and sounds great. We need to protect this man at all costs
All i heard was "Bounty hunting is a complicated profession."
It’s the sponsors, I think. 😂 immediate response from a true comedian.
Werner Herzog really knows how to articulate a well thought out view of things.
Fantastic.
the fall's song-big new prinz!! for his entry!!!
I love this man
Not to cross-jackal any show but seth Meyers should get a trophy from impressions camp with his portrayal of this great man! Amazing!
Great storyteller.
Wow I had no idea what a brilliant and fascinating and interesting person he is!
Let me say this the way I'd expect him to say it:
Zis has been a wonderful and deeply welcome suspension of the pain and suffering that is brought about by existence and the constant confrontation with entropy and death so i am grateful for the tiny break this has given to my heart and soul.
zank you, Werner !
I'm really sorry, his th-pronounciation is much improved !!!
A true talent.
Damn, 29 years surviving alone in the wilderness and he still had bullets to almost shoot the guy who found him? That’s some serious bullet rationing
I thought of that too. How did he possibly still have ammo?
@@margo3367 That's valid. Maybe he took ammo from his ambushers?
The key word here is "alone". Not much to shoot at, when there's no enemy around. Though: they did some shooting. And he still had around 500 bullets left.
They? Yes. The real story is a little less heroic. First of all: that Onoda guy wasn't alone.
They were four - initially. One "surrendered" 1950. Another one got shot in the leg during a shoot out with local fishermen in 1953. The wounded guy survived, only to get shot by a search party in 1954.
The other two (Onoda and another guy) spent their time with burning the rice of the local farmers.
As a result of that, the third guy got shot in 1972 (!).
The rest is basically the story that Herzog told here (the student searching for and finding Onada).
Only: the "ambushes", that that Onada guy survived where local people hunting thieves and arsonists - Onada and his crew.
What he forgot to mention, was that Onada had killed 30 people (civilians) on the island and wounded 100 more during his stay on the island.
But because of the circumstances, he got pardoned by Philippine president Marcos.
@@o.b.7217 Thanks for providing that additional context!
