    Herzog did this for a reason. I’ve never not heard of him not being deliberate. So cool. Such a great filmmaker, storyteller, and artist. He’s on that Kubrick, lynch, Scorsese level of cinematic artist.

    God. What a contrast. I was born in California in 1943. My brother and I would whine for soda or candy to my German great-aunt who was fostering us. She memorably said "What do you want me to do? Cut it out of my leg?"
    While it did shut us up, the aura of possibility still lingered. Could she?
    How fortunate we were.

      Please take this advice for I never heeded it myself never spend a day doing something. You do not love . when the time comes and you were old and fragile. Nothing will be more important than the decision to spend as much time in your life doing something you love.

    Given how in demand W.H. must be for interviews, I'm assuming he is extremely guarded as to whom he grants access. A coup for Steve, and a great treat for MeatEater devotees. Well done Steve!

    What a catch. Love me some Herzog. Fascinating guy. I saw him in person once just wandering around the Oktoberfest with his wife I believe. Was half tempted to bother him.

  • @FlyingVFan
    @FlyingVFan 5 місяців тому +4

    Enlightening interview. Steve and Werner have starkly different world views.
    Every assumption Steve made towards Werner's intentions and perceptions were based on cold logic and harsh reality. Werner shot him down every time. Steve, you were talking to an artist long in tooth, not the mirror. This was a good opportunity to be inquisitive and receptive.
    An invigorating episode, chock full of misunderstandings on part of the interviewer. An excellent look into the meateating media-minded mogul that we all adore, revealing his hubris towards his own notoriety and boundless intellect.
    Werner was a wonderful guest.

    • @benredacted8468

      It's pretty incoherent. There is a schizophrenia in most modern Germans after the war. Not anything that he said is backed up by evidence but the propaganda is so pervasive before school, through school, throughout society. It's like someone being beaten and constantly told it's because they're bad
      It fk's Germans up. Has for several generations
