Only part missing is the time he got shot during a TV interview. It´s only with an air rifle, but it´s still so werner of him how nonchalantly he reacts.

Currently reading "Conquest of the Useless" by Wernor Herzog. It's less like a production diary, but more of a dive into his state of mind, his mania, his depression and his downfall into the depths of psychedelic jungle madness - all to create Fitzcarraldo. Must read!
Blessed be the algorithm that brought me here. 25 minutes ago i had no idea who the man that is the focus of this essay was, now i am intrigued to learn more, to watch his movies, to become his fan. Amazing work.
Thanks! I had a foggy idea of Werner Herzog and his films and then by accident watched "the grizzly man" and man it was captivating! Half docu half Werner doing his thing. It still haunts me in a way when I think of it.
Werner Herzog is a man committed to conveying the immensity and depth of an entire life in a two hour film. His thesis has always been marvelling at how a human being will crawl desperately and quixotically towards the thing they hold dearest, even at the cost if everything else.
I love that his film masterclass consisted of things like teaching how to pick locks and how to film on locations without having a permission to shoot.
Now imagine Werner Herzog arguing with Klaus Kinsky... now that's scary... My dream discussion/interview would be Herzog, Klaus Kinsky, Francis Ford Coppola, and Dennis Hopper discussing how to make a movie about a boat going up a river in the jungle...
I became obsessed with Werner through his documentaries. I always flip out when I see him in movies or tv as an actor, and everyone around me is always just like “who tf is Werner Herzog?” You have no idea, sweet summer child…
This is excellent. I think you have a flair for covering madness. The rhythm and deliberate voice over style is perfect for it. Could be a good lane for you to go down. Mad artists, of which there are seemingly endless amounts. Sort of like 'Tales from the Tour Bus', but avant garde subjects, not rock and roll.
One of the first things I learned about Herzog outside of him being a director was his opinion on requesting the destruction of the Timothy Treadwell footage. As upsetting and profound it is to experience in its full, with the visualization of a talented director, the lessons to be learned from his mistakes are paramount to defining our path as an ignorant species.
Very well done. I'm German and knew large parts of the story already, but editing and narration kept me watching. Really well done. Don't take the people too seriously talking about your pronunciation. It's fine. "Rainer Werner Fassbinder" Was quite a mouthful it seems. Great video, looking forward to seeing more videos of you
As a man of German descent, I grew up with the nickname Jungle Jim. Everyone, including my family thought I was crazy. I fought anyone, did what I wanted and was ostracized. Now 70, nothing’s changed. Werner: I understand
14:23 That’s a neat lil detail A normal well designed boat of the time of the replica would have something to prevent the anchor impaling itself, but the replica impalied itself
The unremarkable life I've led might explain why my filmmaking is also unremarkable. Herzog is definitely right about the impact that real life experiences have on cinema.
Pls don’t say that. Your life and your particular perspective of the world is unique, and just as beautiful as anyone else’s. Herzog feels unique because he is fearlessly authentic, being himself. Be like Herzog.
Don't forget his early films. "Heart of Glass" and "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" are worth looking out for - HoG is surreal (though based on a true story).
Oh damn bro, you’re gonna blow up quick. Never would have even realized how new of a creator you are had i not checked the comments after finishing the vid. Idk what your channels main focus is on but i like this format. And there are a hell of alot more artists from both the past and present who would really deserve exceptional videos made about them. Just subscribed and im excited to see more. GG
I have a particular deep fascination with artists suffering from severe mental deterioration(schiz, altzh, dementia, and so on) the gradual effect’s shown in their art.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m actually a film person by profession, and was thinking of transitioning to just film related topics. But crazy artists in general would also be interesting, let me know if you have any favorite artists!
@@pirate.mp3 well when i say artists i dont just mean like painters and stuff. I use it as a blanket term for authors, filmmakers, musicians, painters, and anything else thats similar. In my opinion you seem far too talented to focus solely on film related videos but if thats your passion then thats what you focus on. Plus i dont know shit about the subject so there very well could be endless amounts of interesting things to learn. Either way keep it up bro.
@@pirate.mp3 oh and franciso goya for painting, stephen king for film, not necessarily the movies he has directed but a lot of my favorite movies were based on his books
Hearing him low key praise Honey Booboo with that dry, German accent is something I didn't think I needed in my life
It was worth the click just to gear him say the title.
It's not the language, it's the tone. You don't want Hitler talking about Honey Booboo.

Dont jinx it!!!!! Knock on wood salt over left shoulder aaaaaahhh
He purposely surrounded himself with madness. He personally is a sensitive grounded man. We are all mad.
Bingo.
Werner is fine.
It's the world that is fucked
@@andershjsted2989the world is mad, but he crucified a monkey and possibly killed a mother pig
No we're not! Speak for yourself!
A true artist.
Werner Herzog watching Wrestlemania makes so much sense.
Or Honey Bobo.
No it dosn't and that makes sense
9/10 , you can earn the ten if you narrate this masterpiece with his voice
Omg that would be awesome 🤣
AI voice creation should do a good job. He really sounds very robotic in English anyway

Must read!
The recent novel about the Imperial Japanese soldier hold out from WW2 was just as poetic, give it a go.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I've never jumped into a cactus patch, but I did fall into a bed of roses. Indeed it was harder getting out than in
Roses are just the cacti of everything that isn't a spaghetti western
As someone who has worked as a gardener: Roses are the devil. They seduce you then they hurt you bad.
I could listen for hours to Herzog telling stories. Fantastic deadpan humour - he must know how funny it is.
Blessed be the algorithm that brought me here. 25 minutes ago i had no idea who the man that is the focus of this essay was, now i am intrigued to learn more, to watch his movies, to become his fan. Amazing work.
First time I heard of him was a Tom Cruise movie.
Jack reacher.
Lucky you!! I wish I could go back and see all his films for the very first time. Welcome to the party!

Playing Vivaldi's Winter every time Kinski is mentioned is a good touch!
He is a blizzard of a man.
Really enjoyed this ..... never knew how close to the edge he has lived .... dangerous, rebellious and always honest ... a true human spirit.
Congrats on being one of the few TH-cam essayists to use the word “prolific” correctly in a sentence
But minus points for his pronunciation of dysentery
@@floydhopkins7901and for his pronunciation of Guadeloupe.
Wow this is my favorite thread 😂

I love his movies.
His voice is soulfull and very sincere.
The world needs artists like him who look at things from a unusual angle.
I love that his film masterclass consisted of things like teaching how to pick locks and how to film on locations without having a permission to shoot.
Herzog is a legend… This is PASSION!!!!!
This video is probably going to catapult your channel's growth. Very well made, please continue with your awesome work

One of the best Herzog related video that i've seen out there, thanks a lot
My fav Werner movie is Aguirre. Great job on this video
An incredible role model: an adventurer and artist who fearlessly says "yes" to everything life might throw at him.
Werner Herzog has been to Ebertfest on more than one occasion. A Q & A session with Herzog is a detour through the mind.
Channel has only existed since April 2024 and it's already posted 4 banger videos!
Holy fucking shit, that penguin video is an all timer for me, knowing it’s werner translating it makes it so much better
When you realize he isn't crazy, he was just an honest man who sought out insane people, everything changes.
Instant sub, instantly became one of my fav video essays. Can’t wait 2 see what else you put out!

Shout out to my little penguin buddy getting the recognition.
Keep them coming this essay was very fun to watch and had no idea who he was.
So glad to you got introduced to Herzog 😊
Thank you so much for making real content. And great content. Subbed

Congrats on a brilliant essay.
Thanks! 🙏
Amazing work, first time I’ve been shocked by the quality of such a small channel. Well done, clearly edited - awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
Loved seeing older footage of Werner, helps give context to the evolution of his voice
Cool/ lovely slice of history great angles / ThAnkYoU 🎉
When your director wants to kill you... you are a genius and legend to remember. I think some angels intervened somewhere. The bullets not fatal.
Great video!...Werner is quite the Stud!
Young Werner Herzog bears a striking resemblance to Eddie Vedder. (9.23)
The Madness of Werner Herzog. 10.9.24. squire, wrath of god..... One of my fav films.
As a man of German descent, I grew up with the nickname Jungle Jim. Everyone, including my family thought I was crazy. I fought anyone, did what I wanted and was ostracized. Now 70, nothing’s changed. Werner: I understand
The Happy People was the first film of his I have seen.
Kinski as the anarcist in Zhivago was the other. Loved both
Him and Klaus Kinski was a match made in heaven. Or hell. Great video!
You did a fantastic job on this documentary.
Thanks so much for watching 🙏
This was great, thank you!
14:23
That’s a neat lil detail
A normal well designed boat of the time of the replica would have something to prevent the anchor impaling itself, but the replica impalied itself
Great video. Very well made
Werner Herzon deserves his own action figure without even Mandalorian. Klaus Kinski too, maybe, as the main villain.
One of my all time favourites!
A living Muse
Sad penguine is still one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
The unremarkable life I've led might explain why my filmmaking is also unremarkable. Herzog is definitely right about the impact that real life experiences have on cinema.
Pls don’t say that. Your life and your particular perspective of the world is unique, and just as beautiful as anyone else’s. Herzog feels unique because he is fearlessly authentic, being himself. Be like Herzog.
Werner herzog is simply just a unique version of a human being. Its important that people like him exist. anyone know the music?
What a fascinating man
I enjoyed his work and his voice it puts me in a trance..
That's not madness. That's called being a badass.
😂
this is beautiful, thank you for making this and sharing it
Thank you for stopping by 🙏
Great work. You really did your research 😊
Great video. Glad this got recommended to me
His role in Julien donkey boy really left an impression on me
I love Werner Herzog so much, that is all.
Herzog is a mad genius with an eccentric streak..
without that accent he'd just be a regular madman
Woow, very very well made. Great editing and narration
great. thank you!
Fine work. Werner would be proud I think...
Incredible piece of work
The madness of that painting..
Don't forget his early films. "Heart of Glass" and "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" are worth looking out for - HoG is surreal (though based on a true story).
Yes Werner hypnotized all the actors in Heart of Glass!
@@mkhnly thanks! I didn't know that.
