Amazing & awe inspiring

It's more than coincidental that the most interesting, ambitious, & inspiring people have had hardships in their childhood.

He is great! He is a giant of humanity

Werner Herzog voice and accent are absolutely iconic !

You should see his films!

Such an inspiring man, will never forget seeing Lessons of Darkness for the first time, such an experience, his 'documentaries / mockumentaries' are truly of great inspiration. He not only invented or at least reinvented cinema but also was the initiator of much of content being found here on youtube, without many of the makers knowing, therefor alone everyone should know his works and understand his artistic perspective.

OMG I love Werner ❤️

@@jimreily7538 nope, look it up, he’s said it many times and he also thinks psychology and self reflection are the biggest mistakes of the 20th century, because he made a documentary on monks (which I know) doesn’t mean he thinks mediation and self reflection aren’t stupid and the monks have dedicated their lives to that life, so it’s something they can master, westerners don’t have the faculty to do that.

Skip to 8.50 for Herzog

This changed my life.

1.30.00 -1.35.00 , blagging his way into working for NASA, hunted by immigration authorities, escaping across the border to Mexico, to working riding bucking broncos at the rodeo, to ski jumping, to being banged up in an African prison... Just a few of the things he got up to! This is the definition of a life lived

41:12 Talking about Grizzly Man (2005). a film I LOVE. 51:10 About Werner directing subjects in documentary films (a big no no for some doc filmmakers). 52:52 The phone directory is full of "facts".

In 5000 years when archaeologists are examining the ruins of cities from our time, will they think sex toy shops are full of fertility idols? I ask this because everytime we dig up a dildo from Ancient times, we say it is a fertility statue. There are actual fertility statues from ancient times, but when they find a marble life size penis, polished completely smooth, it's a dildo.

@howsdo Why do I care so much? Because it is funny. You should retire from your job as a keyboard psychologist if you think I care "so much". Ancient Greeks, Romans, and others made dildos, fucked themselves and each others. The funny part is when the snobbish specialists who have spent their entire lives in libraries look at them and say "It must be a fertility statue". Anything they find they don't understand they will say "It's a religious object". In 200 years archaeologists will think schematic diagrams contain religious symbols. -IiIiIi+

When is Werner Herzog going to read the New York phone directory? It would be quite pleasant.

I am not concerned with my own culture as I do not have one to speak of. But having lived in different parts of the world, I see how much everyone of them have to offer. Nobody forces anyone else to do anything but the powerful have always manipulated the gullible and trusting since time immemorial. Christianity is the greatest example of it. I only try with my puny effort to make people aware of the dangers of following blindly. Tinsel is always attractive to the immature.

Paradoxically a humanizing character who incarnates a lifetime company. Werner Herzog soothing voice illuminates the path of a deep cave, not to cast a shadow but rather forge one out like the entanglements of a dead spirit. His anthropological existence about the memory of choice or something so human as the act of will is extraordinarily perpetrated through various marks and lead ways he insinuates through the mundane.

a great intro for a great man, incredible !

Ah... The most important issue we face today. Afraid it may be impossible to do it. Too late. All we can do is built mental defenses and hope for the best.

paradox: would i be wasting the world, watching an 1 1/2 hour interview of werner Herzog, as he says?

I do recommend reading CONQUEST OF THE USELESS. I dont know whether to agree with Herzog saying that he is the only one who can write prose anymore, but it surely knocked me out. In fact, it's better than the movie which it is about (Fitzcarraldo).

Our everyday existence has become so habitual, where language is a component of abstraction. A vehicle which allows removing ourselves from time in the same relation we as humans, understand the construction of a phrase through the pronunciation of a verb. The Divine Verb is at the center of his permanence…

He is legend

Diversity is what I am talking about. You are right that most Europeans keep to their culture, being proud of it. It is not the same all over the world. In fact I believe the world has to have a common language in order to communicate. Tell me how many Brits, Americans, Canadians and Australians speak any other language or know anything that is really happening elsewhere? Ich bin ein Berner aus der Schweiz. I am an Indian who has lived over 20 years in Switzerland.

Guy at the beginning said retarded and no body freaked out. It was nice.

It is the differences that make us interesting to each other not similarity except for the immature!

That is both true and untrue. It is true with public TV broadcasters but the willingness to sell VIVA to MTV when it was started to be independent of MTV. No surprise the channel has been crap for over a decade thanks to MTV.

The only problem I see is the drowning of other languages and cultures and all of us becoming clones of each other. There is no other problem, in fact there are advantages of understanding each other better but only superfullouslly, making us all as shallow as the majority today.

Werner Herzog is the only real human being left. The only real man around.

You wouldn't if you read him.

we have to avoid the multiple meaning of words :D

I do not believe it can be regulated in any way, it is just up to every individual to be aware of both sides of the coin. A culture is developed according to a peoples’ environment and past. Systemising it will only create problems as in the democratic system where the majority dictate how a minority should behave. Globalisation creates other problems especially for the so called developing world that the developed world can never imagine but is too much to relate here.

Anti grav, Werner, has been around since the 1950s.
