Werner Herzog on Philosophy of his Films, Cancel Culture, Consumerism & More | Full Video Episode

[@L.L.2045]

Werner Herzog is a man i deeply admire. I am a German from munich myself and it is so astounding to me that this man, and I have seen old interviews with him from the 70`s, that this man walked out to the world and created this astonishing body of art. He really is an important figure in world history. His documentaries especially are one of the most unique and fitting-hard hitting observations of man and intrinsic behaviour of the human animal. I kid you not, I think Herzog and Shakespeare could look each other in the eye and recognize their own kind. But anyway it is not worth admiring another man who has done great things as it is only worth trying to do any things yourself.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

Yes, but we all have our limitations, and by extension, our choices are not often our own. Rather, there is far less choice and free will than most people acknowledge. To admire an individual as a form of recognition and inspiration certainly makes a great deal of sense. Herzog is not the norm, and that is absolutely ok. Yet Herzog is most certainly an inspiration to those who listen and understand. In the end, it serves the individual far more to recognize one's practical limitations and admire someone such as Herzog than it does to live under the mindset that I, too, must achieve the same, similar, or greater is in fact a horrible thing for anyone. Too many people fall for the garbage of greatness rather than to accept limitations, and this most certainly is the path of a fool. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying. In the end, I suppose to do is better than not.

[@TheSoteriologist]

Trotzdem ist er ein Impftrottel und verbreitet die falsche Propaganda von der Überbevölkerung als eigentliches Problem. Er ist geistig vergreist und offenbar irgendwo in den 70er Jahren stehengeblieben.

[@JamieJobb]

Herzog likes to claim his Bavarian roots. Guess he's kinda like our Texans!

[@marco6703]

Honestly..... There is something in this man quite unlike any other. His movies and documentaries are unique doors through which the world assume a different, wider meaning. Even the most irrelevant landscape he manages to combine at art with natural light and music, so the whole scene appears almost trascendental. Many of these scenes are sculptured in my mind and they'll stay forever.

[@bruceaisher]

Honestly Herzog could read the phone book and it would still be enthralling. He has the best voice known to man.

I would highly recommend The Perigrine, which is mentioned in this interview. It is one of the most amazing books I have ever read.

[@paintboy776]

Mr. Herzog is an intelligent human being, and when he is addressing colonizing other planets my heart raced a bit. I believe as he, we should be concentrating on Earth an how live in harmony and peace right here. And not on Mars or some such other terrestrial sphere.

[@JP51ism]

He's a fan of Elon Musk; interviewing him he interrupts to say he'd like to go to Mars.

[@JP51ism]

@Paul Mina Storm While I admire his thoughtful way of expression, I only know bits of his work; it seems he put people at risk in the Amazon &/or had a casual attitude when injuries did occur or he basked in the legend of whatever hardships. Sadly now billionaires are celebrated for their vanity space shots ~ to promote rides commercially ~ while their employees must piss in bottles.

[@billscannell93]

@Paul Mina Storm Are you absolutely certain scenes of cruelty are not simulated? This is the first I have heard of this--I have only seen a few Herzog movies--and it is hard to believe. He has been so compassionate in the past, even to people on death row. If this is true, it is extremely depressing. I have liked him a lot ever since I first became aware of him, but cruelty to animals is something I find unforgiveable.

[@Edeinawc]

@@billscannell93 Herzog is an intense person. A pretty single minded when it comes to his film, it seems. I'd suggest Klaus Kinski: My Best Fiend, where he talks about his stormy relationship with the actor Klaus Kinski, who died. It's obviously told from Herzog's perspective, but even he admits he has done some messed up stuff and he definitely put people at risk (and was at risk himself) and kept on going. The filming of Fitzcarraldo was particularly grueling, but he doesn't really brag about it. As far as animal cruelty, the only thing I was able to find was a scene in Aguirre where Kinski casually tosses a monkey to the side, but I'd hardly call that animal cruelty and was probably improvised by Kinski on the spot.

[@greg1mcintosh844]

This conversation relaxes me. I got electrocuted 12 years ago and ever since I have hypersensitivity to untruth. I didn't just receive an electric shock had 347 volts surge through me for upwards of 2 minutes. I still struggle with the physical effects especially in my lower legs and feet and brain but when I can engage in the natural healing modalities simple things stretches muscle toning acupuncture I resolve into a relatively able person but in no way the same person I was. but I digress. They diagnosed me with PTSD as a result of the voltage incident but I think I actually have PTSB ... Post-traumatic stress benefit. Why does everything have to be so negative do you think there's enough time in a lifetime to wallow? I remember the doctors in psychiatric people would Tell what I was feeling then give me a diagnosis such as "adjustment disorder" , "pain disorder," "post-traumatic stress disorder," and "mild anxiety and depression disorder well I didn't have any depression I don't have time to be depressed but I certainly was anxious at the end truth of being told that there was something wrong with not wanting to adjust to a new physical problem and calling that resistance to adjust or accept a disorder compound not with referring to the pain I suffered especially in my legs and my feet as a disorder when it was just simply pain why does it they have to call it a pain disorder I think that's a bit disordered. Well anyway life is much more nuanced and when I listen to two smart people like you and her side dialogue the truth of it relaxes me and what I think is post-traumatic stress benefit is the fact that I relax at the thought of Truth

I had the privilege of attending Maestro Herzog’s Rogue Film School in London (2011). Those fascinating days still resonate in my mind as vividly now as 10 years ago. A truly magical being. THANK YOU Werner, for everything you’ve directed, spoken and taught!

[@orianamejer346]

Ah! I'm so jealous

[@_scabs6669]

This podcast was wonderful. Not only because it had Mr. Herzog but because of the depth of relationship these two had. Most podcasts you see it seems as though the two people had never met before that interview or maybe an hour or two of conversation. These guys know each other for years and they relied on and exploited their previous engagements often throughout their talk, not nearly in the sense of reminiscing but to deepen and enrich the topic at hand. Well done. You have my subscription wholeheartedly, this is really worthwhile material.

"Aguirre Wrath of God" hands down top 5 movies ever made. Filmed on site in Amazonia with the most beautiful opening sequence of Spanish Conquistadors descending Machu Picchu into the Green Inferno accompanied by a magical soundtrack from some bloke named Popol Vuh. I wish Herzog would've done more with the subject of high altitude mountain climbing in his 1985 Reinhold Messner documentary "The Dark Glow of the Mountains." It's the mystical quality of his films and documentaries I find appealing.

[@RayZappa]

Popol Vuh were a group based around composer Florian Fricke and they did the soundtracks for several other Herzog films including Heart of Glass and Nosferatu, all fantastic. Agreed, the music at the opening of Aguirre is incredibly mysterious and beautiful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview or conversation more like it! Mr. Herzog is a giant iconoclast whose penchant is to dissect those who would imprison us in mediocrity; rather than set our minds on higher pursuits! His comment on how the cult of celebrity has captured our culture and subjects us to worthless blandness without critical thinking bound in art, literature, and the performing arts. Cultural nihilism has captured our world and directing us into mindlessness and ignorance like the second visit into the dark ages!

The American Heartland indeed. The spirit of the everyday American or any other free thinking citizen whom did not need to attend an Elitist school to learn the difference between right and wrong, is well intact and ever stronger. William Faulkner would be very proud of this extremely positive discussion between Werner Herzog and Laurence Krauss. Mr. Herzog has put great emphasis upon the necessity to read all one can and to walk the endless roads of practical life experience and observation. Very true. It resonates very well with Arthur Schopenhauer's statement on the meaning of life; “The never ending search for knowledge”

[@jnagarya519]

The search is for "knowledge" (can you defined that?) as either substitute for truth, or means toward that goal.

[@birdwalkin]

wasn't schopenhauer a pessimist who denied life had meaning, said "nobody in his heart would want to live his life twice" and approved of suicide by starvation?

[@mpcc2022]

Well, earth is not going to be here in another 50 billion years most likely and if it is, it will be inhabitable for most life, so we need to start thinking about interstellar collinization at some point.

[@profhulk1]

More absurd is the statement made by Don Petitt about the loss of technology that enabled space travel to the moon. Don Petitt says, “I’d go to the moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don’t have the technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it’s a painful process to build it back again.” [WTF]. Take some time and think about how absurd that sounds coming from a person alleged to be a chemical engineer and one of NASA's oldest astronauts. Anyone capable of logical thought will come to an obvious conclusion of the truth of NASA and the space program. Either Mr. Petitt is suffering from Dementia and saying things he should not say, or this is an example of "Revelation of Method".

[@heaven7360]

We're aiming to destroy the moon and Mars so of course after Earth is no longer uninhabitable. Only rich people will be able to evacuate and I'll be glad to see them all go.

As for "conspiracies" - The Trump admin had discussed hitting Iran w/COVID well PRIOR to the Wuhan outbreak but instead chose to assassinate General Soulemani while he was on a peace mission. This was reported by Ana Parampil for the Grayzone. Early on in the first wave, Intel briefed Trump that his WN "fine people" were INTENTIONALLY distributing the vector through minority communities, two weeks before huge "racial disparities" (blamed on 'genetics' and Lifestyle") began to appear in US mortality rates. This was reported by even mainstream outlets like ABC, but got drowned by the TRUMPNOISE™️ Leading up to this, Trump had been railing about "diseased caravans" crossing the Southern border. Problem solved - international borders pulled so tight not even a MICROBE may pass... The admin admitted that there were several cases of COVID in California 6 Months prior to Wuhan day zero. Italy had many cases 8 MONTHS prior. After the CDC ordered Fort Dietrick shut down (it WAS), the Trump admin had claimed the perpetrator (a WN) was a spy who wanted to smuggle virals to the enemy lab.

I think the point that they're missing about the recent re-examining of history through a modern lens is that history is a force that acts on the present. The present is not a vacuum. For example, yes, slavery is a thing of the past, as is Jim Crow and redlining, but these are forces which impact the lives of black people today. I don't think it is radical to think that we should incorporate history into policymaking.
