I CAN HEAR HIM SAYING IT OMG

Didn't know about Herzog until I saw Jack Reacher. When Herzog explained how he chewed off his thumbs in prison, it immediately gave me a natural ominous sense about his overall presence on screen. I knew just after seeing that movie and the little screen time he had, I needed to do some research about Herzog. I saw Grizzly Man and was in total awe of Herzog's observation of Treadwell's life. Herzog is a living legend in my opinion.

This was great, thank you. I think Herzog's theme of the impossible struggle is about the struggle within ourselves. We do our best do be good people, but it's an impossible struggle against our baser nature. We can never overcome our innate wickedness, but we can fight it with every ounce of will we have. That's my take on it, at least

Not only do I love Herzog, I also have a GIF at hand of his "Happy New Year, you're all losers!" from his Master Class. And how about that scene in "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" where he puts the lens on the albino crocodiles, wondering what they dream about?

I just found this, and am glad to have done so! Herzog has been my favorite director for decades - as R Ebert said; even his failures are spectacular. I think his curiosity is one of the reasons I find him so fascinating, and how far he's willing to go to satisfy that curiosity. This, beside the fact that his movies are unlike anything else, and are always interesting, beautiful, and stay with you long after watching. 'Burden of Dreams' is a terrific look into his film making process, and I found it, too, fascinating.

Give Les Blank the credit for Burden.

I will never forget him, talking about the craft of filmmaking, saying "Storyboarding? Storyboarding is for cowards!" in his masterclass class. It is so expensive but if you can somehow get your hands on it, it's fantastic. I understood that his main goal was filming reality. Whether that reality is manipulated into fitting the narrative of a story, the scene still happened. You can't escape that. What you film happens.

Great essay! Herzog is one of the best filmmakers and is defiantly one of a kind. Words can only do so much to describe this man and how he’s a genius. Great work man!

Herzog is the reason why Grogu was practical effects instead of CGI. He said he was heartachingly beautiful as a puppet and the show would be cowards for switching it for CGI. He's also great in the Simpsons. Been a fan for many years

This man is compelled, I love every Herzog movie I've seen.

I love wim wonders and am very curious about herzog. This documentary makes me glad I spend time on KZread.

Nice documentation. I really would have liked to see a short sequence were Kinski yells at Herzog, the indigenous people just sitting around, not knowing what's going on. I think the part with the grizzly guy could have been a little shorter, but all together really well done.

A really well written little documentary that i thoroughly enjoyed.

This is so similar to the Wikipedia article on Werner Herzog. The quote from Truffhaut then then the quote from Ebert. The story about singing in school. The quote about having a natural right to a camera. It's all there in the same order.

Hi from Germany and thank you for this interesting perspective on Herzog.

I think he set up the air rifle bit just to have something bizarre happen during the Mark Kermode interview! The only person mad enough to shoot at Hertzog in broad daylight while he is on camera with the BBC is Hertzog himself!

Possibly psychotic Kraus Kinski? Well that was delicately put.

One of my favourite Herzog doc's is the Bridge.

Walking living legend.

I love werner herzog love the scale and large scope and vision but sadly most of his films have suffered from lack of budget but his cinematography is unbelievable!

Happy Birthday, Werner Herzog! :)

I dig how in the thumbnail herzog has got a 🦜 on his shoulder, to scream and repeat all his instructions at the crew for him

Herzogs movies and documentaries are quite special, unlike most other movies. Some are brilliant, but all I have seen have been at least memorable and worth a watch!

think it’s wild that treadwell went on his “survivor’s rant,” on the exact spot he would later be ripped apart, and stripped of life.

@18:30 ok up until here 😂. If we all literally were this persistent and singular of mind the human race would be over within a year. Because we have a diverse society and most people are humble we are able to support geniuses like Hertzog. Although in his case 99.9% of genius is bloody mindedness.

He was a really good person I believe maybe a little unstable but really good individual.Mad doesn’t mean bad

I really liked the video and subscribed. I don't know if it's my headphones but it always felt like your voice is behind the music not on top of it. What im trying to say is that the mixing of the different audio levels could be adjusted more towards favoring your voice instead of the music. Anyway I watched till the end without skipping the advertisement. Just my 2 cents;)

Grizzly man is his best work.

1:45 bruhh, he left him hanging smh

Herzog is a peculiar mixture of the German lack of knowing when to stop and the Balkan love of westerns (i.e. tall tales).

The Script of this video bears remarkable similarity to Like Stories of Old's video on Herzog, which came out 2 years before this one. I advise anyone who has seen this to watch that one so they can verify it for themselves.

Herzog and Klaus Kinski 😂😂😂

Herzog actually admitted that he gave a death threat to Kinski, so it probably happened lol But he denies the claim that he held his actor at gunpoint

I enjoy Herzog.

He seemed much happier back in the days....makes sense tho, haha

did i miss the part that you need water to run a steam engine

Undoubtedly a fascinating character-and a great break-down too. Thanks for that. Still, just glossing over the multiple deaths on the set of Fitzcarraldo by leading into a reverent summary of his life's accomplishments seems a bit... off. I understand it's a nicer bow to put on this narrative, but ultimately just perpetuates the "insane genius"-myth that we really need to burry.

Why?, because he should have left it alone? I can relate to that. I am the kind of person who chooses to not look at things that are too painful. On the other hand, I think it would be dishonest of Herzog not to do it. The whole film is about him trying to penetrate into the mind of this strange eccentric man. The grizzly man was obsessed with the bears, but he was just as obsessed with himself, and his relation to them, more than anything, he was obsessed with sculpting his own image, curating his own story. Grizzly man really, really pushed his luck, and it almost seemed as if he he wanted to be consumed by the bears. It was a man whose whole being was screaming "witness me!" I think Herzhog wasn't going to stop at anything. He's that kind of artist. I do not think he listened to the tape as an act of morbid curiosity (as many others would) I think he felt deep empathy for the grizzly man and like he owned it to him. To see it all through. Not look away at the last moment and say "that's enough" for the sake of good taste. I think one of the amazing things with Werner Herzog is that he dares to stare into what is obvious insanity, not to distance himself from it, not to shy away from it, but to align himself with his protagonist and fall into that abyss with them. It is a very rare thing that he does.
