@@ToxicTurtleIsMadI dont think there's such thing as a "greatest director", however, there are moments of profound beauty, strangeness and absolute horror (all at once) in his films that no filmmaker has else ever come close to. His films have such a quiet intensity, underscored by such stoic placidity, so calm and confident yet so fierce. These things are uniquely his and really do make him great. I've never seen film with such instantaneously, effortlessly communicated urgency, it's not realism, it's real fantasy. Its a verissimilitude of the unreal. To say "not even closec is of course meaningless because there is no greatest director, but the dismissiveness is just moronic.

@paulchapman3587 Жыл бұрын
@@jibbarich The post to which I was replying, and which provided context, seems to be missing. But the conventional, and least disorienting, way to mix, for example, dialogue between two characters who are on either side of the screen is to place the sound as if both characters were in the centre. Even the voice of a single character on one side of the screen should appear to come from the centre. Many "stereoized" remixes of classic movies originally recorded in mono make the mistake of trying to position the sound to match the position of the speaker. TCM used to do this a lot, although I haven't watched their output for many years. Of course, the poor saps who are given this monotonous task are usually not trained in movie sound conventions, and are probably just doing what they're told, or what seems "natural" to them.

well maybe he's not about achieving things, but rather just the experience of things. His docs are about grand things, but from what I understand, it was never about claiming it (like those racing to the north pole) just witnessing the beauty/horror of those things as they are which is the great thing in itself. He has earlier films about people with delusions of grandeur, and he sees it as sad (Aguirre, fitzcaraldo, stroszek, even Nosferatu).

I hear nervous, self-conscious mostly female laughter from the audience, as though they were not very familiar with his films. Herzog has a sense of humor, but it is dry and sardonic, and he never fishes for cheap laughs. It’s also worth noting that he’s able to describe things so well in a language that is not his native tongue. He has better command of the English language than most of today’s college students in the U.S. He says he’s crazy about Morris’s “Vernon, Florida.” I borrowed it from the library last year but couldn’t get past the first 15 minutes, but maybe I’ll give it another shot.
@ruiresende842 жыл бұрын
Oh, i love Herzog's films, some of them have become a part of me, without me knowing it. But i do think the man Herzog craves the laughs, or at least the attention. He created worlds in his films, but he has also created a character for himself, one of artist who will go to extremes to fullfill his vision (which he is), and the other of the uncompromising person who will always speak his mind no matter what others will think (which he is not always.. many times he will say exactly what he knows will cause a stirr, still calculated). But i do love his films
