The water bottle was not like the other water bottles, he had a thirst for adventure, dreams of exploring the world. Fate had another plan in store for him, and he ended up on the shelves of a supermarket. While his fellow water bottles were resigned to their fate of being picked up, consumed and discarded, this water bottle would not accept it. One day a group of climate activists came into the store, and the bottle strategically jumped off the shelf and rolled to the feet of one of the activists. She picked up the bottle, and re-used and refilled it, posted about the water bottle on social media, and eventually the bottle became a symbol for sustainability, hope, resilience, and collective action. The water bottle's journey was no longer just about himself, but about the entire world, and how a drop of inspiration can become an ocean of change.
How to pick safety locks and how to forge documents… I have a feeling things have moved on quite a lot since Herzog was a rogue filmmaker and that these techniques he teaches are about thirty years out of date. Still, at least the spirit is there.
4:50 I mean it's a good idea to teach people how the film industry works and all but don't you believe for a second that if he wasn't Werner Herzog people wouldn't think of his takes and "stories" as complete bs. And I'm saying this as a fan. With fame comes respect and authority. The difference between a young artist and an old artist is usually just authority through age and amount of work created. Neither young nor old artist stop having similarly radical ideas that go against the norm or status quo.
Amen to that. That authority, automatically, gives the established artist a pass for any BS they do because based on their fame they are generally not taken for granted.
@@YourAverageNiche Yup. Like Herzog saying that he's against storyboarding and that young filmmakers should reject using them. Not only is he bullshitting (there's BTS footage of him drawing out shots) but he's putting unprofessional ideas in their heads, because many producers do want to see some pre-visualization so camera and lighting crews know what to expect.
@@lucascolehames507 Not sure I understand what you mean. Where has he ever proven something to be correct? His films are highly philosophical and mostly musings about all aspects of life. If you ever heard a Werner Herzog voice-over in one of his documentary films, he often uses words like "seems" "like" "as if" etc. He said it himself so many times, he's more interested in the magic of moments captured on film than finding final and definite conclusions.
@@zippymufo9765 Idk if it's all bs, I'd say it's just his current personal style of working on films and his personal experience. Obviously it's different if you're already rich and famous and can produce stuff that makes no money or finds buyers just because the name "Werner Herzog" is attached to it, or if you're a no-name young artist that's just learning his or her skills. If you go back through his history, you'll find that he was always a radical exception in filmmaking. I mean look up how he "planned", funded, and executed Fitzcarraldo. People died during this production.
