>I simply do not fit very well into the film industry. I do not fit, let's say, in the world of action movies, where the explosions and car crashes are the center of things. I just don't fit in there. My visions are differently — are different. I have a sense of duty. Almost like a soldier. I want to be the good soldier of cinema, meaning a sense of duty, courage, responsibility.
based and kino
>makes boomerslop-core
and just like that, opinion disregarded
Not a single boomer watches his movies you fricking moron
You're a fricking bastard.
Whoa, yeah, boring homosexual "dramas" are real cinema.
without looking anything up, describe what you think an average herzog movie is like
NTA
>Klaus Kinski going insane
>rest of actors are hypnotized into a trance so everyone seems like they're in a stupor
>plot resolves with no cathartic moment
1/3, and that's a real stretch
I've seen a bunch of Herzog's movies, he always does some shit like that
>Klaus Kinski going insane = a frick ton of his movies but Nosferatu and Aguirre for starters
>hypnotizing actors = Heart of Glass
>plot resolves with no cathartic moment = Aguirre, Nosferatu, Heart of Glass etc
If I really squint, I can see what you mean for certain of his films - but to say those qualities apply to most Herzog films is stretching things to absurdity.
>Kinski in Nosferatu is him going crazy
...what? He spends the whole film creeping quietly around in an impression of a living corpse. It's probably one of his quietest roles.
>plot resolves with no cathartic moment = Aguirre, Nosferatu
How? They both have good endings that serve as an emotional and thematic culmination of their stories
I don't know, I've never heard of him or any movie he's made.
I'm gonna guess the stereotypical French nothing happens art movie
nah
>Herzog movies
>boring homosexual dramas
He's a great filmmaker but also a huge pseud
You’re the last foot soldier in the army!
his Hollywood movies suck ass
He's great, but man what a miserable bastard lol.
Rescue Dawn is an action film
Is he saying that he wants to sell a different type of product? I don't really get it
Woyzeck is his only good film
Herzog literally never made a good movie without Kinski.
And Kinski didn't ever get proper parts that weren't in a Herzog movie.
Herzog is a terrible director, but his craft is simply being able to handle Kinski.
His documentaries are good.
No
What ones have you watched?
the grizzly man
lessons of darkness
into the abyss
little dieter needs to fly
etc
And what’s a better documentary compared to them?
There's no pleasing some people
I always wonder why in Dieter much on the emphasis is on Dieter as a German, his troubled youth, the similarities he and Werner experienced growing up...etc but this is not a plot point in Rescue dawn
lessons of darkness is boring
why do people keep recommending it I don't know
considering herzog had done like 50 documentaries
Yes
did anyone read his new book? he unironically suggested he will be remembered in the future for his writing over his films which was such a funny and "him" thing to say but I can't imagine it being very good unless I listened to his narration of it
I did. Lot of technical terms about the birds and some difficult words if you are esl. But I did enjoy the book. Well written too, A J Baker is good with metaphors.
>le quirky morbid subject matter that's utterly non-transcendent but I'm making it into le artsy documentary as if it were super relevant subjects
>isn't that like super artistic to take something irrelevant and making a documentary about it
You have to be over 18 to post here
Cope pseud
It's not that, it's how you frame it. Framing how you stepped in dogshit like it was an end all experience is gay deal with it
It's time to give Grandma back her iPad, lil' fella
>judging subject matter by "relevance"
BACK
how does that apply to werner herzog
