Werner Herzog is a man i deeply admire. I am a German from munich myself and it is so astounding to me that this man, and I have seen old interviews with him from the 70`s, that this man walked out to the world and created this astonishing body of art. He really is an important figure in world history. His documentaries especially are one of the most unique and fitting-hard hitting observations of man and intrinsic behaviour of the human animal. I kid you not, I think Herzog and Shakespeare could look each other in the eye and recognize their own kind.
But anyway it is not worth admiring another man who has done great things as it is only worth trying to do any things yourself.
Yes, but we all have our limitations, and by extension, our choices are not often our own.
Rather, there is far less choice and free will than most people acknowledge.
To admire an individual as a form of recognition and inspiration certainly makes a great deal of sense.
Herzog is not the norm, and that is absolutely ok.
Yet Herzog is most certainly an inspiration to those who listen and understand.
In the end, it serves the individual far more to recognize one's practical limitations and admire someone such as Herzog than it does to live under the mindset that I, too, must achieve the same, similar, or greater is in fact a horrible thing for anyone.
Too many people fall for the garbage of greatness rather than to accept limitations, and this most certainly is the path of a fool.
Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying.
In the end, I suppose to do is better than not.
Trotzdem ist er ein Impftrottel und verbreitet die falsche Propaganda von der Überbevölkerung als eigentliches Problem. Er ist geistig vergreist und offenbar irgendwo in den 70er Jahren stehengeblieben.
Herzog likes to claim his Bavarian roots.
Guess he's kinda like our Texans!
he lived his life
(consciously)
thank you!
My favourite film director saying the unsayable: 'We are too many on this planet'. This causes so many problems and exacerbates any problems we have. Five stars to this interview, and another 10 stars to Werner, to add to the 20 I have so far given him. (Btw, I don't think we can colonise Mars - its gravity is too low and we would all get osteoporosis and become unable to move.)

Can we please crowdfund Herzog's moon orbit film please?
The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.
Yes if they don’t get killed by drivers on substances and texting and driving... and yes the police and racists, sure many could add more... be safe and well...
@@howardkleger Thank you Howard & Alan, this is beyond great stuff...
The world reveals itself to those who stay home all the time.
@The Mutt with no Butt That's what I'll do too man! Esketit
The world "reveals" itself by internal insight. How much is perception, and how much projection, and how many distorting filters interposed between those?
Honestly..... There is something in this man quite unlike any other. His movies and documentaries are unique doors through which the world assume a different, wider meaning. Even the most irrelevant landscape he manages to combine at art with natural light and music, so the whole scene appears almost trascendental. Many of these scenes are sculptured in my mind and they'll stay forever.
I would highly recommend The Perigrine, which is mentioned in this interview. It is one of the most amazing books I have ever read.
Honestly Herzog could read the phone book and it would still be enthralling. He has the best voice known to man.
What's a phone book? :)
@@stephendouglas4545 haha nice joke there
It would be an 48 hour audio of him reading the telephone book of Manhattan and when he's done with the last name, he'll calmly close it and say:"You just listened to a two-day-long recitation of millions of facts...DOoUH YOUUH FEEL ILLLHOUUUMINATEDT??? "
him and/ or peter o’toole... either one.
Carl Sagan as well.
Not to be that guy, but I forgot how much I don’t like Lawrence Krauss.
Lawrence just doesn't get it. His continuous interruptions, to show he's cool and knowledgeable, are so off-putting that he ruins the interview.
You're mistaken, he's entirely engaged.
I disagree
Agreed. He constantly wants to center himself and reference the fact that he knows Werner. Krause is also an Epstein supporter and generally a crappy person in his personal life.
They're just having a conversation.
You know why
Thank you Herzog, for your wisdom. My heart has been aching for a long time from writing in youtube comments, or discussions with people in academia or elsewhere, but now I know that there is still wisdom in humanity and that there is reason to continue.
Thank you, Werner. Or thank you Mr. Herzog!
Hear Hear !
@@supersonic4901 No no, thank YOU for your gratitude, fellow listener
The difference is, he's a poet and his delivery is beautiful.
He simply says the things that many of us commenting already know to true.
He just says so beautifully.
There's no reason to disregard academia. Unless for you, a reasom can be that it leans left, but that'd be a you problem, no a problem with academia.
Thank you very much for doing this interview.
On point about the absurdity of colonizing Mars. Good Lord, let's make Earth a better place.
Herzog is exemplar of being a human who fully extends his physical being into creativity and action. The power of the corpus. Matter mattering.
Well, earth is not going to be here in another 50 billion years most likely and if it is, it will be inhabitable for most life, so we need to start thinking about interstellar collinization at some point.
More absurd is the statement made by Don Petitt about the loss of technology that enabled space travel to the moon. Don Petitt says, “I’d go to the moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don’t have the technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it’s a painful process to build it back again.” [WTF]. Take some time and think about how absurd that sounds coming from a person alleged to be a chemical engineer and one of NASA's oldest astronauts. Anyone capable of logical thought will come to an obvious conclusion of the truth of NASA and the space program. Either Mr. Petitt is suffering from Dementia and saying things he should not say, or this is an example of "Revelation of Method".
We're aiming to destroy the moon and Mars so of course after Earth is no longer uninhabitable. Only rich people will be able to evacuate and I'll be glad to see them all go. I'll be amazed how long it will take until the entire galaxy is polluted. When I die I'm NEVER coming back...I'm off to somewhere far far far away in the universe.
@@mpcc2022 Earth hasn’t even been around for 5 billion years, what’s going to happen in 50 billion is not something we need to concern ourselves with for a while
"Aguirre Wrath of God" hands down top 5 movies ever made. Filmed on site in Amazonia with the most beautiful opening sequence of Spanish Conquistadors descending Machu Picchu into the Green Inferno accompanied by a magical soundtrack from some bloke named Popol Vuh. I wish Herzog would've done more with the subject of high altitude mountain climbing in his 1985 Reinhold Messner documentary "The Dark Glow of the Mountains." It's the mystical quality of his films and documentaries I find appealing.
Popol Vuh were a group based around composer Florian Fricke and they did the soundtracks for several other Herzog films including Heart of Glass and Nosferatu, all fantastic. Agreed, the music at the opening of Aguirre is incredibly mysterious and beautiful.
And one of the great ending scenes as well.
Mr. Herzog is an intelligent human being, and when he is addressing colonizing other planets my heart raced a bit. I believe as he, we should be concentrating on Earth an how live in harmony and peace right here. And not on Mars or some such other terrestrial sphere.
He's a fan of Elon Musk; interviewing him he interrupts to say he'd like to go to Mars.
@Paul Mina Storm While I admire his thoughtful way of expression, I only know bits of his work; it seems he put people at risk in the Amazon &/or had a casual attitude when injuries did occur or he basked in the legend of whatever hardships. Sadly now billionaires are celebrated for their vanity space shots ~ to promote rides commercially ~ while their employees must piss in bottles.
@Paul Mina Storm Are you absolutely certain scenes of cruelty are not simulated? This is the first I have heard of this--I have only seen a few Herzog movies--and it is hard to believe. He has been so compassionate in the past, even to people on death row. If this is true, it is extremely depressing. I have liked him a lot ever since I first became aware of him, but cruelty to animals is something I find unforgiveable.
@@billscannell93 Herzog is an intense person. A pretty single minded when it comes to his film, it seems. I'd suggest Klaus Kinski: My Best Fiend, where he talks about his stormy relationship with the actor Klaus Kinski, who died. It's obviously told from Herzog's perspective, but even he admits he has done some messed up stuff and he definitely put people at risk (and was at risk himself) and kept on going. The filming of Fitzcarraldo was particularly grueling, but he doesn't really brag about it. As far as animal cruelty, the only thing I was able to find was a scene in Aguirre where Kinski casually tosses a monkey to the side, but I'd hardly call that animal cruelty and was probably improvised by Kinski on the spot.
Remember when a couple of velociraptors were having this very discussion? No? There you go.
Fascinating man to talk to. Really good conversation. I imagine he would be a superb walking companion. Perhaps I now have to reconsider my travels in America one day and walk more.
Watched this twice and heard the audio version once. There is so much to learn from Herr Herzog and this interview is like a very good lecture.
Any man who could semi-domesticate Klaus Kinski has to be a genius.
Vaccinations and masks? GO AWAY. I stopped watching you video.
Thanks Lawrence for the interview with Werner. He is a living legend!
Oh god. You got it. He is indeed a living legend.
@Paul Mina Storm You mean Kinski kicking a snake or throwing a monkey?
Absolutely
Each of your takes on "cancel culture" feel really out dated and out of touch. Are you aware of the goals of the folks that are seeking accountability in the world? Are you even aware of who the people are that are demanding higher levels of accountability, and why?
Cancel culture is never justifiable. It's a resort of the weak.
@@williamtaylor5193 people should be accountable to each other.
Yeah, that part was entirely cringe. They really don't get it, actually thinking that they are "erasing history". 🙄
Herzog Is Incredible!Such a Poet!
If Herzogs car broke down in Germany 1938 he also would got help. If he was not a jew or a gypsy.
If he was a young black man with a broken car in USA Truck-areas... maybe he would not get helped.
Amazing blindness from this interesting movie-maker.
1:02:50
Good choice.
When you first meet the devil, it will hunt you, but if you face it too many times, you will get used to it ... and that's more scary.
That's what scares me about modern societies that structurally create predators and prey. People participate and look away with indifference to the suffering materialized by this violently distorted societal arrangement.
One of the most intellectual, yet delightful, directors, along with people like Kubrick and Lynch, and one of my favorites. His personal anecdotes sound like Edgar Rice Burroughs stories rejected for being too far-fetched.
Couldn't stand the constant egoic interruptions!
This conversation relaxes me. I got electrocuted 12 years ago and ever since I have hypersensitivity to untruth. I didn't just receive an electric shock had 347 volts surge through me for upwards of 2 minutes. I still struggle with the physical effects especially in my lower legs and feet and brain but when I can engage in the natural healing modalities simple things stretches muscle toning acupuncture I resolve into a relatively able person but in no way the same person I was. but I digress. They diagnosed me with PTSD as a result of the voltage incident but I think I actually have PTSB ... Post-traumatic stress benefit. Why does everything have to be so negative do you think there's enough time in a lifetime to wallow? I remember the doctors in psychiatric people would Tell what I was feeling then give me a diagnosis such as "adjustment disorder" , "pain disorder," "post-traumatic stress disorder," and "mild anxiety and depression disorder well I didn't have any depression I don't have time to be depressed but I certainly was anxious at the end truth of being told that there was something wrong with not wanting to adjust to a new physical problem and calling that resistance to adjust or accept a disorder compound not with referring to the pain I suffered especially in my legs and my feet as a disorder when it was just simply pain why does it they have to call it a pain disorder I think that's a bit disordered. Well anyway life is much more nuanced and when I listen to two smart people like you and her side dialogue the truth of it relaxes me and what I think is post-traumatic stress benefit is the fact that I relax at the thought of Truth
"Yeah, he sawed off his foot, but those are the things that may happen."
Godly vibrations.
Though it seems a central tenet of Hebrew theology that human individuals are "nerve-endings" by means of which "God" experiences the world, it can't be proven there's a "God".
@@DiaJasin actually, that could have been a rather interesting ride
but the guy has just proven to be a douch)
duh
Absolutely brilliant discussion. I didn't agree with all of it but that makes it all the better for me. The depth, intelligence and knowledge on display here simply lifts the heart.
Reading Reading Reading. So important. Speaking as someone who, as a child read every book in the local library. Today still has too many books, can't fit any more bookcases in the hallway or study, now contemplating doing both a 'cull' and turning a bedroom into a 'Library Proper, I worry about this next Gen who 'don't bother' to read. Why should we!? they ask, when we can scan across and get snapshot summaries of all the great works on-line? When they'd rather watch a televised / movie version than 'long-read' the original book? But what then happens to the development of imagination, vocabulary, depth and nuance, when everything, the characters the settings, all is presented to them on a platter - with they the passive recipients, instead of active participants? What kinds of deficit - impoverishment of creative imagination ensues?
Or am a I wrong? Are these new gens developing the same skills just via different pathways? I'm not sure. Would be fascinating to hear Werner's views on this.
At first when i read your comment i hoped you were wrong about these new gens developing the same skills just different pathways. After further thought maybe these are not the same skills. An old friend of mine were discussing religion once. i asked her if she still believed in god. She said: "i believe a higher power instead of god exists."
1:29:12 "The world reveals it's self to those who travel on foot," Werner Herzog.
okay...wtf is that picture behind him. not the blow up of the scream. on the left of the screen. the creepy white face in the picture frame. WHY DOES HE HAVE THAT PICTURE...
(get a better look at it on his other podcasts, what the actual fuck)
I don't think it's actually polite to smile at everything, when Werner mentioned his horrific encounter with the image of the dead toddler, Lawrence honestly should not smile.
I think the point that they're missing about the recent re-examining of history through a modern lens is that history is a force that acts on the present. The present is not a vacuum. For example, yes, slavery is a thing of the past, as is Jim Crow and redlining, but these are forces which impact the lives of black people today. I don't think it is radical to think that we should incorporate history into policymaking.
I've just shown Little Dieter Needs To Fly to my Vietnamese wife, now this is going to be the perfect dessert.

Totally captivated by this conversation. Feels good to be transported to an intellectual space light years away from the contemporary non-sensical idiocy of techie, politics and pop culture chatter.

Beautifully said.

I see Werner Herzog as an extremely rare gem that made it possible to express the unpronounceable with a hint to the eternal, especially in his Documentary „Encounters at the end of the world“. - Unsurpassed and unique.
Awesome interview! Thank you
I've watched Stroczek not so long ago and it's one of my favorite movies of all time
Most depressing movie ever made.

Worst interview skills…. 😕 this dude interviewing Werner needs to stop talking about himself!! Ugh! Nobody needs him to chime in on everything like “ reading was also important in shaping me” omg then there is the interrupting great stories with bad questions … Werner in a height of a story …”we to operate immediately” interview dude… “didn’t a guy get bit by a snake in that one”
And the book about werner he keeps quoting! Omg dude seems unable to hear Werner’s answer if he knows that he is going to read another quote, three times he is pulling quotes about Werner trying to do things because They are difficult and the first quote Werner corrects him but yet two more!! duh! You had those picked out in advance did ya?
Werner is obviously a great person to interview, it is definitely worth watching for him
Also as a lesson what not to do as an interviewer
Who would win in a physical brawl, Werner Herzog or Ken Burns?
I'm kidding, but the thought amuses me.
imagine interviewing Werner Herzog and rushing to get to the next question - all the while continually interrupting him
I thought I was the only one cringing at this. So annoying.... let the man speak.
thank you for this conversation Lawrence.
the interviewer talks too fast and too poorly. i cant stand the constant stuttering.
The are absolutely correct in that Mars will never have a million people, the immortality thing is also not going to happen, but if anything close to it happens, it will only be the wealthiest who will afford it.
When C. Elegans was finally cracked, the pandemic followed very closely behind...
@@darkmadder9897 Correlation is not causation. Disciplined thought doesn't carelessly imagine up "conspiracies," then then fall for that ignorance.
@@jnagarya519 It was just an observation. Try not to trip over that hubris. As for "conspiracies" -
The Trump admin had discussed hitting Iran w/COVID well PRIOR to the Wuhan outbreak but instead chose to assassinate General Soulemani while he was on a peace mission. This was reported by Ana Parampil for the Grayzone.
Early on in the first wave, Intel briefed Trump that his WN "fine people" were INTENTIONALLY distributing the vector through minority communities, two weeks before huge "racial disparities" (blamed on 'genetics' and Lifestyle") began to appear in US mortality rates. This was reported by even mainstream outlets like ABC, but got drowned by the TRUMPNOISE™️
Leading up to this, Trump had been railing about "diseased caravans" crossing the Southern border. Problem solved - international borders pulled so tight not even a MICROBE may pass...
The admin admitted that there were several cases of COVID in California 6 Months prior to Wuhan day zero. Italy had many cases 8 MONTHS prior.
After the CDC ordered Fort Dietrick shut down (it WAS), the Trump admin had claimed the perpetrator (a WN) was a spy who wanted to smuggle virals to the enemy lab. The lab Fauci and co FINANCED to study "Gain of Function" which is illegal in the US.
Fauci was known as "The face of AIDS" when THAT experiment finally made landfall in the US, hailed by Far-Right evangelicals as "The Wrath of God" on the LGBTQ and the addicted.
The US You Gen X program has a long history. Canada even collaborated on some of these until the mid - '70s, doing for the Innu in the vicinities of the Alaskan border what they just did for those girlies in the South Border Concentr...uh - Detention Centers. Nothing to get Hysterectomy-ical about though, huh?

The fact that humans possess the identical genome strand; though inactive, is the reason for the interest.
Didn't really need the mask caveat, but Werner is amazing and I'm a longtime fan as an independent filmmaker myself.
I love his voice. The man is a legend.
"Defying norms" is no more difficult, and no more easy. than it has ever been.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview or conversation more like it! Mr. Herzog is a giant iconoclast whose penchant is to dissect those who would imprison us in mediocrity; rather than set our minds on higher pursuits! His comment on how the cult of celebrity has captured our culture and subjects us to worthless blandness without critical thinking bound in art, literature, and the performing arts. Cultural nihilism has captured our world and directing us into mindlessness and ignorance like the second visit into the dark ages!
"When it comes to poetry, writing, filmmaking, just go wild."
Excellent podcast. Thank you.
Great guest, Werner Herzog is such an interessting being. 1:16:05 - This is just plainly false. Homestead farming needs less land than modern farming, but it is way more labour intensive. We lack the ability/willingness to work more for food, but we don't need more land. This is actually very basic knowledge about intensive vs. extensive agriculture.
But thats just minor nagging. It was a great interview.
have watched it till minutes 43 and up now it is not a dialogue at all. what herzog says is interesting, entertaining and stimulating but his endless monologing and his disabilltiy to pick up the attempts of the interviewer to say something is really bad.... in his case it's obvously the bitter fate most old people face (loosing the courisity and becoming a prisoner of the own 'story / past'). but if he would be younger you would plainly call it hardcore mansplaining.
and the interviewer could have be more controvserional, he is mostly stucked in a fan-position and approving, which is pleasing for the conversation-partners but fails to create a exciting document to look at fur as the viewers.
The last samari. 💚 learning the old ways and living in a peaceful way. Sharing our human gifts for money not selling earth out for money 💚🧡🌍🌏🌎
Always intelligent and provocative, but also essentially a unique person.
Thank you so much Mr Krauss for this awesome interview ! You are awesome.I so agree with Werner, we are way too many people on this planet !
Wrong! There is plenty space on the Planet for everyone. Every living creature. Just fk globalists want to keep the World for themselves, we have to boot them

Brilliant interview, but hard to watch, despite Herzog. The interviewer is unbearable. He doesn't listen. He continuously interrupts without having anything meaningful to add. His constant and eager affirmations and superficialities are a nuisance. How Herzog can bear him is a miracle to me.
Ego gets in the way
Isn't it the truth.
This is a great comment if you read it in Werner Herzog’s voice .
"Interviewer"? LOL.
You know who this is, right?
Comment sounds like something Kinski would write
Great talk, great personalities. Thank you!
This podcast was an all-around pleasure to hear
“There was an economy of soul.” A limit.
Wow. This is the first time I've watched a podcast where I can say I've met and had conversations with both men!!
Werner, I learned to visually tell stories from reading Charles Dickens and watching your films. You are the voyeur of humans' interaction with their surrounding perils and challenges. Lawrence, this is a brilliant discussion between two brilliant humans. Thank you.
I'M IN AGREEMENT TO FIX EARTH RATHER THAN DEPEND ON SPACE TRAVEL TO ESCAPE EARTH.
"It sounds like a film question, and I don't mean to ask it like that" -- and yet he did.
Krauss is a "scholar" who studies experiments as "objects" outside himself. Herzog is a kind of empiricist who is changed by actually engaging with the experiment. Krauss reminds of the professor who worships poets, and their poetry, but doesn't understand poetry; s/he imparts veneration of edifice -- not poetry. Beware of professors and scholars who miss the point.
You’re not fond of Krauss by the sounds of it 😀
I had the privilege of attending Maestro Herzog’s Rogue Film School in London (2011). Those fascinating days still resonate in my mind as vividly now as 10 years ago. A truly magical being. THANK YOU Werner, for everything you’ve directed, spoken and taught!
Ah! I'm so jealous
Carl Sagan said that the secret isn’t reading everything, but reading the right things. Hail Sagan!
I tuned in to hear Werner Herzog, but who's the stuttering jabbering loon interviewing him?
"(...) actually I did Nosferatu with them. It's this vampire movie I made, you probably haven't heard of it and it is nothing of importance. Really, let's stop talking about it."
Some celebrities might talk like this, to garner even more interest in their person and make them seem more important. With Werner, you know it's honest. He's just 100% humble about his own work and finds everyone around him much more interesting.
Those who fear evil create it.🌎🌏🌍🧡understanding it ends it.🧡💚🌎🌏🌍
Doesn't mean one has to inject it and make it part of ones DNA.
Great Podcast, great vibe! Thank you!
What a great conversation. I’m a new fan of Mr. Herzog, most recently because of his volcano documentary. I thought his take on American culture and the current silliness refreshing. I’m surprised he wasn’t ‘cancelled’ by stating his view on coastal attitudes towards everyone else. I was disappointed that the host visibility albeit subtly jerked a bit when Herzog reminds us the ‘heartland’ is not deserving of the disdain given it by certain groups in our country.
Ironically, chickens are surprisingly smart.
Opening statement we are fully vaccinated so we don't need masks, that when I switched off Lawrence
You care more about your idiotic conspiracies than actual substance at hand.
@@flytrapYTP You are truly lost. It's because of compliant people like you that the world is in the state it is.
1:44 I can't believe that even Werner is such an unbelievable dork to do this to himself in favor of this ultimate faschism ! I just lost _tons_ of respect.
It's very unfortunate, isn't it? I've always looked at Herzog as counter culture, but here he is, conforming to the will of evil in the world.
@@SimonHergott Not only that. Later in the interview he goes right along with this malthusian myth in favor of the same forces, that overpopulation be the main problem. He claims he is interested in science, but apparently he has no idea of real science, logistic growth functions and that proper management of the planet could easily support the current population growths until and including its self-deceleration, and the latter not because of scarcity, but because of affluence. All of this is possible but not wanted by the forces who spread the myths he assents to.
@@TheSoteriologist Supposed overpopulation & justifications for corona measures aren't even put into question - as Mr. Herzog assertively points out: they are "facts". In another interview, Herzog granted Martin Scorsese the authority to criticize comic book adaptations, for Scorsese had earned himself the authority after an illustrious career. One might be inclined to ponder how Herzog acquired similar authority in the field of virology etc... For someone who is constantly declaring himself to be a deep & unconventional observer, we can observe Herzog engage in all sorts of incongruities - "Disneyfication" is being mocked, but taking on a role in a Disney series is fine - pressures to engage in "normed & streamlined" behaviors are condemned, but Corona lockdowns are indisputable. While he often plays down his importance in interviews in a seemingly disarming manner, he'll happily gather an audience to watch him eat his shoe. Oh, and he's not in Hollywood, but in "Los Angeles", for Los Angeles may be the city with the most "substance" in the world! I've seen him around the city a few times btw - he has an air of aloofness around him. And piercing eyes.
This particular podcast enriched my daily life experience so much. Made me think. Re-evalute. Consider.
Thank you.
Are you still doing blow at the local bars all weekend?
This podcast was wonderful. Not only because it had Mr. Herzog but because of the depth of relationship these two had. Most podcasts you see it seems as though the two people had never met before that interview or maybe an hour or two of conversation. These guys know each other for years and they relied on and exploited their previous engagements often throughout their talk, not nearly in the sense of reminiscing but to deepen and enrich the topic at hand. Well done. You have my subscription wholeheartedly, this is really worthwhile material.
Okay, so there you are strolling.
Fully vaccinated! Congratulations then. Your life depends on being part of the collective obsessional behaviour, cause you believe that your fellow human being is a potential killer? This is what you can accomplish, devoted to lunacy, without a blink? I salute you!
I was looking forward to watch this interview, with one of my favourite film creators, Werner Herzog. But I must say, this jab-introduction gives me a different expectation.
You refer to, in the beginning, that Herzog did not watch any television during his childhood. It is hereby established, that this Werner, including you, watches quite a bit of television today.
Take the jab! That’s your mantra, this timeless moment? That’s your awareness? That’s your presence?
Best regards, Ola
There were no injuries with the actors, not one! But the crew...well...one had his hand split in half by the camera lens due to a gigantic collison of the boat because of the wild waters in the jungle and another had a poisonous arrow shot all the way through his throat by the native people...but other than that, all good.
Ach, man muss Werner Herzog einfach lieben :D
Aguirre Fitzcarraldo e Woizeck NOSFERATU FANTASTICI ... Kinsky straordinario magnetico intenso inquietante... Uno come Kinsky non era previsto nel genere umano
Such interesting intellectual man. He talks so eloquently and with so much passion for his art.
Looks like Hegel
haha you're right! :D
Herzog rarely has a sentence restart.
I disagree with Herzog about “The Heartland” being ignored and this ignorance being suddenly “exposed” by Trump. The “Hardworking American” has been a political concept since the birth of the US, and I’d argue for as long as Western politics has been around. Candidates are always pandering to “The Heartland” and trying to draw pity on us. I grew up in The Heartland, got an education at a world class PUBLIC university there, and have made a life for myself despite being “ignored”. You don’t need to be an Ivy League elite to compete and succeed in the modern US economy and The Heartland has never been ignored or deprived of opportunity. I would say that Trump moreso tapped into an anger that isn’t necessarily restricted to a certain geography, but relates to socioeconomic status. There is a nationwide underclass who IS left behind because for those stuck in true poverty and horrible social circumstances, there are endless roadblocks to making your way out. He also endlessly stoked fear, one of the most basic emotions that we all experience. Fear of losing your job? He blamed it on immigrants. Fear for your safety? Blame it on antifa (and also immigrants). Fear for your country’s political future? Blame it on “the deep state”. Trump in this way did absolutely nothing new - what was new was how brash he was about delivering it in a way that was flat-out invigorating for many, many people.
Have to admit that when Lawrence's face first appeared, I though he was using a face changing app to give himself glasses and a beard. No insult intended, just a comment on my own foolishness. He does a great job of the daunting task of interviewing Herzog.
His wife should be concerned ~ that he'd stoop to be in a cheesy Jack Reacher film.

Thank you Lawrence for meeting with Werner and revealing deep knowledge and wisdom.
Werner is a titan in a world of cinematic pulp.
Are we asking to erase history (cancel history’s main characters), or are we asking that we take a closer look at the characters of history; idolizing one for a good deed while ignoring all of the bad deeds done by the same character? In this way, history has already been cancelled and our understanding of history has been tainted with fairy tale characters whom, we’ve been told, deserve great honor and respect. But, can we still respect someone whom we know was flawed? Can we at least be given the chance to give that respect so that we might learn to respect ourselves despite our flaws? This is my take away from what I have learned from history thus far; we are all flawed. We can only try to be better.
