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

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!

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

Arthur Morgan sent me.

ROGGER CLARK PLAYLIST

herzog = a true original. awesome.

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

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

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

Wonderful and intelligent debate! Thanks so much for this.

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.

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

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

Thank you that was brilliant.

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

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

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

A true original Werner Herzog.

Enthralling interview!

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.)

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

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

I actually find the lockness movie herner was in to be my favorite film he was involved with god he was funny in that movie....hes a amazing director

Jian is one of the best

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

Bounty Hunting is a complicated profession

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!

Abyss-mal

Accountant of fact vs. Illuminator of truth

Where is Werner Herzog's Eyelashes?

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

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

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

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.?

Movies do change the world because they change the individual

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

NO WERNER THE GIRL DID NOT GET PREGNANT BY Jason.

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.

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?!

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?

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

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

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.

2020 😂

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

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

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.

BY YOU! Are you mental?

Arthur you black lung

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

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

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.

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

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

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”.

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.

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