The only guy who had the balls to endure Kinski's madness, and he still managed to create a masterpiece in the end. Herzog is really one in a billion.

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.

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?

@NuGanjaTron Год назад

According to Wikipedia, Herzog was born in Munich (and his German enunciation makes this apparent) -- hardly what you'd consider a village, regardless of where you're from!

@majoromg449 Год назад

Yes, but Wikipedia also says he lived in Sachrang im Chiemgau until 11.

That's my take on it, at least

@curiousworld7912 2 года назад

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.

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.
