You may have some dummy fun with his way of talking. That is your thing and about what your brain is capable of. But you will never have the slightest chance to understand the brilliance of this man.
They are making a joke reference to a famous other quote of Herzog's about how he hates chickens and thinks they are very ugly, tunnel visioned and stupid, followed up by 'you can easily hypnotize a chicken' line. It makes some sense in context where he is being interviewed. But it sounds brilliant out of context cos everything he says sounds darkly serious and wise no matter how silly
Idk if the rest of the film depicts this guy less sympathetically, but I can’t help but feel bad for him here. Humans are fragile and complex. Excellent work from Herzog as always.
Herzog speaks like a phony professor who never got a degree. His psychoanalysis with no education or basis was the starting point for the legion of man baby redditors with below average IQs but that have somehow convinced themselves they are the smartest people in the room at all times while lacking any formal or even informal education. Why is it always lazy people that want to appear profound
Beyond film school, this should teach this to people in journalism school, police academies, university psychology programs, and anywhere else where people learn the delicate art of interviewing. Speaking with someone specifically to acquire information from them-information they may want to conceal-is _so_ vital to _so_ much of the modern world that it astounds me it isn't taught formally in most schools. It would create a lot fewer incompetent police, journalists, psychologists, politicians, scientific researchers, social workers...the list goes on.
Have you seen Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Look of Silence”? It’s astonishing. The man in that film accomplishes something similar through optometry. To your point, he proves to be a far superior interviewer to the vast majority of professional journalists who try to do what he does.
The chaplain said he likes to spend time on the golf course just noticing and appreciating the beauty and of life, like deer or squirrels. So Herzog asked “Describe an encounter with a squirrel?” To make the man think more about it, and explain his feelings on the value of life and death
Why do they never go for the theologian with 5 different degrees in philosophy that also had missionary experience in war zones ? Aaaah I can guess why... I know those people, when you try to crack them you crack your bones and Herzog sadly takes the easy road when there's no shocking value involved, great documentarist but holy shit they can never get the right people for theological questions.
If you've seen Grizzly Man, or any of his other documentary work, he "cracks" people emotionally all the time, and successfully gets them to reveal their deepest feelings openly. It's one of his best skills as an interviewer.
From what I gather, he’s saying he wishes he could stop the process of death for the Inmate on the gurney. But he has no control over it. However, the reference to the squirrel is that he has the power to run over and kill a squirrel or to choose not to. He doesn’t have the same power with people. Thats in “gods hands”. I think the question is to get him to grapple with his belief in god. He says he “wishes he could stop it” implying his is in control. Yet by wishing he could stop it, he’s questioning god. Which Christian’s are not allowed to do. It’s a cardinal sin. He’s forcing the man into a paradoxical conundrum, which makes him question his faith. And basically he cries and squirms about it. Werner wanted to elicit a real reaction, and he did.
@@haveaday1812 I'm not sure if it's a cardinal sin. Everyone has times when they wish god's plan would involve less suffering. (Personally I'm not sure if God even exists, or if he does whether he has a plan at all. Things seem like a mess on this planet.) To me it looks like Herzog's point is less theological and more like he's trying to just get the man to emotionally open up. But I haven't seen the whole movie so I might be missing a lot of context.
How is a death row inmate the same as running over a squirrel carelessly? It’s not a cardinal sin to question God’s thinking 😅. People think they have caught Christians out with some sort of paradox with stuff like this but they’re actually just viewing the idea of God too autistically.
why does god allow...?" go look in the mirror and ask him, say, while looking into your own eyes, "why do you sit idly by while all these things happen? then you'll know.
Wisdom of the snake is misinterpretation. A snake has no control over its reflexes let alone having wisdom. With all respect to Herzog. I believe Jesus had also said similar things. Not sure why
@@ABO-Destiny well it's pretty self explanatory what he says, no? Strike like a snake, in the sense that you have to have the right timing... Lay in wait and strike when your subject is vulnerable to your question?
Lack of being able to do this, is a big reason relationships and marriage is on the decline. We have lost the ability to communicate with eachother with how we truly feel 😬 and if we do, we think of it as someone's opinion to dismiss. As most of these situations are fruitless, we gain nothing from them, and invest nothing in them. But if you delve deeper and enquire more you understand that what people truly mean, isn't what they say and their once selfish or twisted thoughts end up coming from a place of sadness or fear just poorly translated.
This wouldn't be much of an accomplishment with me. I'm an open book anyway. He could claim skill but it would just be right girl at the right time, really.
@@BlueFusion2910 honestly, my problem with believing in any supernatural stuff including God is not “bad things exists” although I understand why some people consider that relevant. It’s like good programmer creates a software and it’s full of bugs and you ask yourself “if the programmer is so good why he did this software so badly? Is it recklessness? Was that on purpose, but why?”
@@BlueFusion2910(if we’re pretending God is the creator) free will comes from people whom God created in his image so why there have bad inclinations? Does God have bad inclinations?

By the way, it's very easy to hypnotize a squirrel...
How?
The enormity of their stupidity is overwhelming

It makes some sense in context where he is being interviewed. But it sounds brilliant out of context cos everything he says sounds darkly serious and wise no matter how silly
The funniest part for me is when he says he has shown how easy it is to hypnotize a chicken in "one or two" of his films
Werner Herzog is a pure genius on many levels but most of all philosophically. His movies are some of my favorite documentary films.
He speaks like a phony professor who never got a degree. Wonder what that makes you
@Fung43 not getting trolled into some lame argument. Got better shit to do.

I mean he DID do 5 films with Kinski😂 ! Herzog dealt with heavy-duty characters
This was a clip from the movie(into the abyss)
* just in case anybody wanted to watch it
'Cave of Forgotten Dreams', by Mr Herzog - one of my all-time favourite documentaries.
same!
Thank you for the referral. I really appreciate it. ❤
we ve all had throughout this life an encounter with a squirrel
Herzog is a genius - just ask him.
"Omg Morty...youve pissed off the squirrels. What have you done"
I tried that line with my emotionally distant father and got a smack up the side of the head
Werner to himself after the tears come out: "That's a bingo!!!! 🙂🙂🙂"
I feel like he always find a way to say “squirrel” with that accent 😂
Where can I watch the entire conference?
Werner is a fantastically talented artist and as crazy as a shithouse rat
Fabulous, isn’t it?
squirrel, not rat.
You only think he is crazy because he colors outside the paper, and ignores the lines. :-)
What talk is this from? I'd like to see the whole thing
How did Herzog know abaut the the story with the scqueralll,if he had spoken to him for the 1 time??
The chaplain said he likes to spend time on the golf course just noticing and appreciating the beauty and of life, like deer or squirrels. So Herzog asked “Describe an encounter with a squirrel?” To make the man think more about it, and explain his feelings on the value of life and death
@@katyalupochev9589admiring 'nature' on a golf course of all places is even more ironic than the fake squirrel story imo.
I don’t really understand what Herzog did
Werner Herzog is IMHO one of the finest directors in cinema.
IMHO, YHO is correct.
He's that but he's more at the same time
Well palpatine did recruit him personally
Wow
Its all about subterfuge of the subconscious
WTF Werner Herzog bout to teach me?
vital life-lessons!
Yeah, but tell us about Whole Foods 😂😂😂
Where is this video from?
The clips are from Into The Abyss
@@_E_S_PThank you! 🎉

Was it a one or two hit wonder ?

Anyone else think he was going to be literally discussing the best process for autopsy?
I love Herzog’s work, but this a dumb question. God allows lots of stuff because he gave us free will. Capital punishment is a man made thing
What's the relevance?

Because I'm not an omniscient being with the power to literally do anything?
because like a reflection in the mirror there's really nothing there?
C'mon, you've got to do then that.
Yeah god sucks
It makes him a much better man than you Werner.

Like your fox , instead of your foto , right?
They really didn't
We can't be sure, that is the truth, despite Herzog being a gifted and experience man.
