from germany here. not a single big entertainer interviewed him here yet. they will all regret it when he is dead. he said it himself, germans will give recognition when the poets are already dead. such a damn fking shame man. this dude is easily top 10 filmmakers of all time
@ you are right, that interview was actually quite good. but he is pretty good at big entertainment too, he is not afraid of some spotlight. he deserves a little more in his homeland in my opinion you know what i mean
A unique personality, a remarkable thinker, and an extraordinary filmmaker. I'll never forget experiencing his work for the first time: I had just graduated high school and walked into a downtown theater to watch AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD. Amazing, but little did I know that FITZCARRALDO was coming 10 years later. Astounding! I have been a Werner Herzog admirer ever since.
@@johnscott7195 Hey Johnny, I think I can help you rethink Herzog and FITZCARRALDO by exorcising the spirit of Klaus Kinski from your critical faculties. Let's give it a try shall we?
Werner is AMAZING. I LOVE him. When I saw "Meeting Gorbachev," he was there and did a Q&A after. It was terrific! I think Werner has an extraordinary mind and heart.
Wonderful Ben. So many interviews with Werner are the same two or three stories rehashed, but there was so many new stories you pulled out of him this time.
Yes! When my grandfather was 2 yrs old, his father was still two yrs from buying his first car, (a 2 yr old 1927 Chevrolet.) He is now rocking my 3.5 yr old granddaughter while she colors on her tablet.
Everyone should see and hear this entire interview. There are so many examples witnin this interview that I related so closely to as a self-taught artist and scientist myself. I believe I've only seen one of his films, which is Fitzcaraldo. Herzog's description of the actor Klaus Kinski was I'm sure quite shocking for many to hear, as I've witnessed some friends and family members from the past that suffer this condition. When Herzog admits that he really learned nothing from any schools. He was entirely self-taught. This is something that is reflected for many years within the greatest artists and scientists. This is the great experience of learning through heuristics as Buckminster Fuller spoke of in his final book of his lifes memoirs. An hour and a half went by so fast, I had to start again at the beginning to listen to certain essential examples again. Herzog's life is a great example for others, especially in these times we live today. A great thanks to CBS and Ben Mankiewicz for conducting this interview.
Brilliant man. Profound writer. Watching his movies, I always sensed they were really about himself. “Little Dieter Needs to Fly”, just one of a plethora of amazing films of a man in a deadly environment, both natural and human, driven to survive his obsessions. A true genius.
A quite unique an visionary filmmaker and very interesting human being. A species that has produced the likes of Carl Sagan and Werner Herzog gives me a slightest bit of hope that there's a chance to see something amazing tomorrow. Nice job CBS
Thank you, I have watched Werner's films, and I have read Werner's books and watched most of his interviews. A giant iconaclast among men, artistic with incredible beauty with images both dark and light. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 He is simply brilliant and very well read. I adore him. Ben Mankiewicz, amazing! Was your father by chance, Joseph L. Mankiewwicz or a member of your family? TCM, movie clasisics. When one understands, we are all connected, no matter the circumstances with the ebb and tide flowing in and out of consciousness we grow. Ben Hecht: Shakespeare of Hollywood by Lusician films. Andy Warhol was quite interesting as a filmaker and actor, as I saw many interesting people in and out of Studio 54, some you mentioned. 🙏❤️🌏🌍🌎🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵✨️💫✨️
More Werner! Alright! Did so much monumental film work without soulless effects like today ❤❤ His upbringing and rodeo clown stories in the book are great
Original lord of the rings has cgi special effects. Most of the crowds are fake. Dont say x or y is bad. However, they put the cgi far from the camera, and the real stuf near the camera, which makes it look good.
My favourite artist and my favourite TV outfit. I miss running into Charles Osgood every Sunday morning at the CBS Broadcast Center as he left and I came in for the NFL Today. And I want Werner Herzog to be the last voice I hear as I drift off into the nowhere.
MY great, great grandmother was born in Ireland in 1877 and died in Nevada in 1956 she went from corsets to jeans. Also trains, wagons, trollies to cars and airplanes. She came to the U.S.A. on her own as a teen by boat before Ellis island. Those would have been shocking times. In her life time she saw cars come to the masses, radios, tv's, air planes, Insulin, and the cure for polio.
Artur Schnabel, in his lectures at Princeton published in 1961 as My Life & Music delves into similar conversations about technology and military presence. Robert Lewis Stevenson's book titled Travels With A Donkey, Goether's Italian Journey and Edward Lear's accounts of walking tours in Sicily and the Middle East cover similar ground heard here.
This man is such a legend. It occurs to me Klaus Kinsky could have benefited from therapy though Werner may have lost that asset in his films. Nosferatu 1979 is still the best
Hearing him talk about his connection to Kinski makes me wish there was a film about the two of them-not quite My Best Fiend but more of a drama. Barry Keoghan as Herzog and Austin Butler as Kinski
No mention of Cavern of Forgotten Dreams? The guy strapped 2 DV cameras together and filmed a 3D movie of the interior of the Chauvet caves of southern France and captured art from over 30 000 years ago.
The world has always turned its gaze from those who walk in the opposite direction. They think it’s a personal sleight. They have no idea what the calling is within
He says that as a self-taught artist, he is the result of a mountain of defeat. And he points out that he could not have conceived of cinema without noticing the recycled red shirt in Dr. Fumanchu. It shows the importance of humanities involvement in the construction of its own arts, and not the perfect failure of AI art that merely makes a ransom note of previous examples to construct a picture out of a dark catalog.
Obviously FITZCARRALDO was too lifelike for a self-righteous, smug critic like yourself. Herzog made it clear that your kind of hostility is comically par for the course and that time was on his side.
@TheVid54 Lifelike?..bringing opera to the Amazon is about as intelligent and meaningful as showing pictures of luscious foodstuffs to starving people..
@@johnscott7195 The film is what Herzog said it was: a fever dream. It's no different than any film about Christian missionaries introducing their savage concepts of Christ to the uninitiated. The fact that it wasn't done at the botanical gardens makes the picture lifelike, not the obsessional context of the film's plotline. Your flippant, cutesy metaphor misses the point of the why the film has its proponents.
@@johnscott7195 For many, his concept of twisted ambitions and delusional visions is what makes FITZCARRALDO great. Herzog's assessment is his own, whether anyone shares it or not doesn't affect the impact of the movie. The controversial circumstances of the project itself warrant interest for many as well. I'm glad I saw it and it made a significant impression on me, as did Les Blank's documentary about it: BURDEN OF DREAMS. I find it interesting that you were repulsed by it.
He’s a sellout talentless “walk in” in my opinion- he participated in a lot of unethical Hollywood psy ops- specifically- like w that horrible human Kinski or when Ian Curtis passed, what he and Bowie and that other shrew, Iggy Pop did- is UNFORGIVABLE.👁️. Sad that they give us these second rate actor money bros as artists.
Nah, I just watched an hour long interview of John Waters from Larry Charles and the man's questions and transitions were so clumsy. There was no conversation flow, it was rough. This is simple, effective and gives plenty room for Herzog to answer, elaborate and breathe.
from germany here. not a single big entertainer interviewed him here yet. they will all regret it when he is dead. he said it himself, germans will give recognition when the poets are already dead. such a damn fking shame man. this dude is easily top 10 filmmakers of all time
But there was an Interview in the SRF Broadcast "Sternstunden Philosophie"
@ you are right, that interview was actually quite good. but he is pretty good at big entertainment too, he is not afraid of some spotlight. he deserves a little more in his homeland in my opinion you know what i mean
Why do you think that happens?
Da haben Sie leider recht.
@@Westfale08 Luckily...but SRF is Swiss.
I can listen to Werner talk for hours about anything. Thanks for posting the unedited interview.

From Colombia 🇨🇴 thank you Mr Herzog. A treasure of mankind ❤🍻
An absolute master at his authentic best!
A treat to watch this and live in Herzog’s era.
Werner is a once in a lifetime artist/thinker/personality. Thanks for the extended cut!
Werner is AMAZING. I LOVE him. When I saw "Meeting Gorbachev," he was there and did a Q&A after. It was terrific! I think Werner has an extraordinary mind and heart.
Thank you for extended cut with Herzog!! 🙏
Herzog always speaks with so much profoundness about everything he has to say it's amazing!
He is VERY Intelligent & well versed & thoughtful about Life ... mesmerizing..😮
He must be one of the most interesting humans that’s ever existed. What an interview!
Without reservation the most insightful interview with any celebrity from any generation. thank you Ben Mankiewicz and CBS Sunday Morning.
💯 agree 🎉
Beautiful! It is great to know that this kind of exchange is still possible.
The best DVD-watching experiences ever is to watch Rescue Dawn with Werner’s director’s commentary on.
ah fantastic, love the film and 'Little Dieter Needs to Fly'. Shall be searching for the version with Herzog's commentary for sure. thanks!
@@fergal2424 as far as I’m aware the only way to accomplish this is by getting the DVD, which I definitely recommend!

Brilliant man. Profound writer. Watching his movies, I always sensed they were really about himself.
“Little Dieter Needs to Fly”, just one of a plethora of amazing films of a man in a deadly environment, both natural and human, driven to survive his obsessions.
A true genius.
One of my favorite films of his. Read the book first which made the film just explode from Werner's mind to the audience for me. What a storyteller.
A quite unique an visionary filmmaker and very interesting human being. A species that has produced the likes of Carl Sagan and Werner Herzog gives me a slightest bit of hope that there's a chance to see something amazing tomorrow. Nice job CBS
This truly a profound interview
He deserves immortality more than anybody

A true living Legend
[❤]. Werner always stays real. Just 10 seconds in.
He is one of the few Germans who actually understand the USA. A true cosmopolitan.
I watched this on my phone.
Thanks for the update . I can sleep now

Wow amazing Interview.
You are spoiling us, CBS.
Essential!
Note to Ben: Munich is in Bavaria - it’s the capital. Werner was being incredibly chivalrous by not correcting you on camera.
phenomenal

Great director……!!!!!!
Fascinating
have we as a species learned to avoid something, without experiencing it and its negative repercussions first?
Rarely if ever......
We experienced the negative repercussions of war after the first one and yet haven't learned to avoid it even after 100's of thousands of years.
interviews basically herzog's greatest hits, but im not complaining
You sit across from him and hold your own for two hours and then he says 'Very kind of how you spoke with me.'
Magnificent human being
Super!
No mention of Cavern of Forgotten Dreams? The guy strapped 2 DV cameras together and filmed a 3D movie of the interior of the Chauvet caves of southern France and captured art from over 30 000 years ago.
Hey nice lawn mower in the background there at the beginning! Really professional job!
Did you not hear the segment about complaining? Bad look on ya.
I'll try another 24 hour chunk of doing my best
In 1903, Gwen John with her brother Augustus's muse, Dorelia, decided to walk to Rome from England, which she did, much of which alone.
Werner Herzog is the man, but Michael Shannon was the lead in Jeff Nichols’ epically perfect Shotgun Stories before My Son My Son
yeah it's a puff piece, but come on. Herzog freakin' rules, man. Watch his Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) before the new Eggars one comes out.
Y’all hear the chainsaw in the background or am I going insane?
❤
Werner's okay but hoping for a Katie Herzog interview.

Werner, there’s still time to make a film with Mick Jagger.
47:45
sounds like one of those actors in old war movies
1942 year of water horse in the sign of the freat bear. Magnificent being!
Folks, when you are in the jungle and there are snakes around, take the first aid kit with you and don't leave lifesaving equipment behind.
Sardines and anchovies only. Tuna = mercury
Werner Herzog admits it's not climate change, but a shortage of resources that is a problem.
Non-woke hero who loves "the fly overs."
How disgusting he destroyed forests and tainted indigenous people to make that stupid idiotic film Fitzcarraldo..
Obviously FITZCARRALDO was too lifelike for a self-righteous, smug critic like yourself. Herzog made it clear that your kind of hostility is comically par for the course and that time was on his side.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.
Nobody is perfect. Tom Crouise is in scientology, which hunts people that want to exit. Does this make his great movies less great?
Maniac.
But a great manic.
Interviewer is way out of his depth…. Dumbo half arsed questions
Herzog would hate your guts lol
Nah, I just watched an hour long interview of John Waters from Larry Charles and the man's questions and transitions were so clumsy. There was no conversation flow, it was rough. This is simple, effective and gives plenty room for Herzog to answer, elaborate and breathe.
