"Into the Abyss" director Werner Herzog in Studio Q

[@grimmar80]

I won't comment on Herzog, as I love his work dearly and he is getting his earned credit for it. I want to express my joy of seeing, finaly - since a long time - that there is a journalist there (younger than 50 year old) that knows how to do his work. Very rare nowadays. Good work!

[@wrarmatei]

I have serious doubts that you consumed enough journalism to make such a generalization about the vast majority of journalists under 50 yrs. not researching interview subjects. Praise looks more credible without the presence of ridiculously wide inferences.

[@teodelfuego]

I agree that Gian was an excellent interviewer. He is right up there with Charlie Rose. Unfortunately, both would have their careers ended short by the hysterical times of the MeToo movement and the false accusations that were endemic to that mass moral panic

[@mightisright]

I love how he shut down the idea that movies change the world.

[@HunterMann]

Some documentary films do change the world, at least gifting the viewer with enthusiasm, something to spark their creativity, and provide some nutritious entertainment. Example: Harris Blank’s Automorphosis documentary. It’s about art car, but it goes far beyond just art and cars. By the way, Harrod’s father Les Blank made the documentary “The Burden of Dreams”, about the making of Herzog’s “Fitzcarraldo”. Nice interview with Werner Herzog last night 10-6-2020 on the “Q” radio show. The host Tom Power , like Jian Gomeshi, truly understand the art of the interview.

@mightsright What to love about that?

[@MrShbbz]

@@TheThelenita nothing. its just a fact.

[@TheThelenita]

@@MrShbbz it is not a fact.

[@MrShbbz]

@@TheThelenita it by all means is. Movies, specially nowdays, are trivial and in essence unimportant. "Art" is in the 4th plan, "money" in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Fact.

I feel unicorns hatching in my ears. Herzog's voice is so amazing, doubled with a towering intellect

Arthur Morgan sent me.

i dont get this, is there a herzog reference in rdr2?

[@Postaldude2003]

Same but i think his kids got to his Playlist lol

[@m.joanhay522]

Such a wonderful soothing voice. Such a magnificent director!

[@SergioSacotoOficial]

I absolutely love Herzog, nothing of the typical false modesty bull shit. An honest intelligent talented person.

[@Eliguitar1]

herzog = a true original. awesome.

[@williamrobinson7435]

Wonderful and intelligent debate! Thanks so much for this.

[@angelm6092]

I don't think I have heard such a soothing voice. I want to gently fall asleep...zzz

[@JCarlos.556]

Werner Herzog & David Attenborough are 2 of the best narrators on the planet

[@QKballin23]

What he talks about at the end, the illumination and ecstasy of an almost religious film experience...you allowed me to experience one with Grizzly Man, Werner. Thank you.

[@MarkAntonioYhap]

He's a great director, I'll like to work with him again

[@pauloabelha]

High quality interview. The subjects were discussed with beautiful grace.

[@Benjabola]

i wish werner herzog to read me bedtime stories every night while i try desperately to sleep

[@multiunderfire]

Benjabola did your wish come true finally?

[@jefolson6989]

Herzogs Docs on Volcanos and the ancient cave paintings in France are my favorites. Listen to his review of Trader Joe's ( Paul f Thomkins does a brilliant impression of Herzog.)

[@jevinday]

A great director is always one step ahead of you. The second he started talking about the resoect from inmates i was literally gonna comment something like "hell yeah they want someone to be straight up with them because of all the bullshit" and then Herzog beat me to the punch

[@phspalace1021]

A true original Werner Herzog.

[@brians7901]

The on death row series is one of the best documentary series I've ever seen

[@WolfmanKaiser]

W. Herzog: "I've never left my culture, I've always stayed Bavarian. :-)

[@robertmanfredthurrigl9424]

Cool line . I myself was born in Munich and i emigrated to the rainy Island of Britain for various reasons and unexpected unforeseen circumstances that came to a head and I have lived in London since 1984 in a sort of self imposed Exile but of course i still am a continental .

[@NahyanChowdhury]

What a crazy coincidence, i JUST finished watching Grizzly Man half an hour ago. Great film-maker.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Thank you that was brilliant.

[@shrappnells]

I teached Werner Herzog film making and he only praises himself , and i did everything to get him where he is at.

[@phizap]

you teached him?? lol

[@shrappnells]

Yes everything, who was there when he did his first steps? ME I learned him to ride a bike, to eat with knife and fork. Everything there is to know he knows because i teach his sorry but, and know he pretends he don`t know me.

[@shrappnells]

As longs as me pays me a big fat check every now and again we cool.

[@snigdhajyotidas3057]

Where is Werner Herzog's Eyelashes?

Wait and you’ll see where.

[@dravreh]

Enthralling interview!

[@fangettes]

Jian is one of the best

Movies do change the world because they change the individual

[@marianneotott3071]

I love Herzog, but I think, that in Film , he didn't like Perry, but Jason Burkett. He was not objektiv didn't speak abaut the girl, WHO had a maintence in that case as a witnes.All that background the family Stotler would have introduced, because this was very important to underdtand the case, All abaut this I know from another documentary, the Killer Paare on ZDF.But it's great!

[@TheThelenita]

14:41 I don’t get all that enthusiasm and pathos about calling a true monster “a human being”.. does he feel the same about Hitler?!

[@janeeisnich3739]

Quoting the response of a famous German-Jewish literature critic on the question if hitler was a human being: „what the hell do you think he would have been - an elephant?!“ The point here is, that one must realise, that monstrosity appears to be a part of human behaviour and does not contradict it.

[@MalAnders94]

@@janeeisnich3739 Also, if you demonize people, you're an idiot. Hitler was no demon to me, just a hateful, confused lunatic.

[@AmishChildren]

Accountant of fact vs. Illuminator of truth

[@TheThelenita]

Why does he compare capital punishment/genocide during the Hitler times(which was devastating and totally unnecessary) and a capital punishment against rapers/murderers etc.?

[@LFWK]

Because both are/were justified with applicable law. No government should have the right to kill people.

[@splinterbyrd]

NO WERNER THE GIRL DID NOT GET PREGNANT BY Jason.

[@enricomenconi7015]

What that guy did to Eugene DeBruin story is a CRIME, and he should be banned forever from public life. If I was Eugenes son, brother, anything, I would love to have 5 minutes in a locked room with him. Its disgusting.

[@HuninMunin]

All I heard was a rethorical bracket cast as wide as necesarry. Nothing to scoff at.

[@PrivateAckbar]

It took half a second to think it. He compared Lenin and Obama. I don't know what you're talking about.

[@tiffanyr2703]

PrivateAckbar great orators. Speakers. How they capture our imaginations. Powerful speakers.

[@frickadele]

Movies don't change anything? Oh, really? Remember, people smoked cigarettes because commercials used to show people smoking cigarettes and it being cool to do so. Nowadays, people don't smoke because commercials tell you that it's NOT cool to do so. Companies wouldn't waste their money if commercials didN'T work on your mind. And commercials are just mini movies, right?

[@jdevine42]

[@adolfopena7358]

Bounty hunting is a complicated profession. Don't you agree?

[@MisterBorg9]

@gusyyy23 Even assuming what you say is true----isn't 4.5 million bad enough?

[@frickadele]

Have you seen a good movie more than once? Naturally. Twice? Yeah, sure. Ten times? Of course you have. Tonight...you'll probably be watching a movie that you've seen many times before. What makes you think you won't zoned out when watching it...and not just mindlessly absorb the audio and visual? You will...zone out, tonight.

[@caderoger]

movies don't change the world, because they don't represent reality. a documentary captures the vision of its own filmmaker, it doesn't represent the truth, it will always represent a biased view on any subject. some people just agree with the view represented in the film, and sometimes coincidences occur in real life, so there's the ilusion that a movie sort of predicted or caused a change. some movies represent heaven to some people. the same movie might represent hell to others. will they feed our imaginations and create trends? yes, but real change is random. there were films about pandemics before, but it always seemed too farfetched, and when it came, we were still not prepared. movies might represent a change that we would like to see fullfiled in reality, the other option seems to be too romantic to me.

[@hartfeltopinion6178]

I’m sorry. I don’t get the connection with Heitler and the Texas death penalty. It’s a stupid comparison

[@ColectivoLT]

La objetividad no existe y los hechos no son lo central, entremos...

[@seamusblack5876]

Movies don't change the world- don't agree, hundreds of documentaries/films have made the authorities 're-investigate or force them to make hard decisions

[@GrinGillis]

I really am a big fan of Herzog but they are monsters.

[@danmcdaid]

Herzog is wonderful as always - and now I find myself desperate to see Into the Abyss. But the hubris of this interviewer is beyond belief - chummily calling him "Werner", comparing what he does as an interviewer to what Herzog does as a filmmaker, giving his (ultimately pretty banal) questions a needlessly aggressive slant, as though he were trying to pin down a slippery, recalcitrant subject. I can't imagine what it's like to have such chutzpah.

[@75hilmar]

Don't understand what you're saying. Werner seemed very pleased with the interview. The man did a good job having him talk about his life and his work and didn't steal the show. You are too critical there imo

[@PrivateAckbar]

BY YOU! Are you mental?

[@riwhoooshme3424]

Arthur you black lung

[@seamusblack5876]

No-one on death row is a monster? Are you sure, I would say when a women murders another women and then rips her unborn child from her womb...I'd say that IS a monster

[@gwmerr]

Lenin + Obama reference to great orators......nail screech moment, eh?

[@mohamedmeliani5479]

2020 😂

[@markholmes7839]

This guy is ok. But by listening to him, he thinks he is the best film maker of all time.. he likes talking about himself a lot.

[@WorldView22]

People of Herzog’s quality need serious interviewers, not lost in space group thinkers. It’s painful to watch Herzog’s monologue brutally disrupted by nonsense and out of sync mediocrity. He should had let Herzog speak by himself, it would be an infinitely better “interview”.

[@TheDoodisHere]

Agreed. This video was frustrating to watch.

[@anarchosolar]

Obama is a generic soap powder what's he on about ?

[@scottsimmons7897]

Ugh! Get real Werner Herzog. I loved Grizzly Man and Aguirre but get over the German Guilt of WW2. That's history. Capital punishment is justifiable in certain cases, And it is needed to plea bargain in order to gain confessions and information about the whereabouts of the victim's body. Grow up already.

[@MS-in3sl]

now, you could be sent to prison for....cracking a joke on hitler

[@PrivateAckbar]

"Lenin, Obama; the great orators". The word is demagogue. I lose respect for people who talk politics so quickly now. Libertarianism and freedom ftw.
