Mr. Not Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 oh, and len(songs) - he was a smart kid He's on a spaceship from another star. btw, i've been addicted to herzog's movies lately, particularly the documentaries saw fitz and stroszek, wasn't huge on fitz honestly but i did enjoy stroszek - to this day it's an interesting idea to write out a fictional story based on a real person playing himself (bruno was actually in fact, a bastard child, idiot drunk, failed street musician, etc) the docs i've seen are: Grizzly Manthis is my fav documentary by him so far. it's all found footage of another one of those "ted kazyncski", "walden", or "chris mccandless" types - only this guy is even more crazy, eccentric, and incompetent - even compared to the guys aforementioned. despite this some of what he accomplished is still impressive, the footage is beautiful, his life story is very interesting and Herzog finds a way to reveal his history with natural 'plot twists'.. basically it's a story of Timothy Treadwell, a guy who becomes an animal rights activist by befriending Grizzly bears in Alaska and advocates for people to stop hunting the bears. he gets insanely close to these bears and almost treats them they way most people treat household pets. i'll definitely watch this one again sometime Happy People watched this one last night and it has some of the most beautiful footage i've ever seen, i loved this. the only thing about it is it kind of depressed me as well because i'm envious of the Serbian trappers the documentary follows. Into The Abyss this one's on youtube, i'm not usually into crime or criminology but Herzog being Herzog he is incredibly candid in his interviews and you have to admire his unique take on such a common genre. 'true crime' is trash, this is good. it's commentary is heavily focused on capital punishment, and the funniest part of the doc is the 'death row groupie' he interviews. Lo And Beholdwatched this one last night too. again like with into the abyss, this is herzog tackling a pretty worn out subject (futurism / sci fi / tech) but offering expansive yet condensed coverage on the subject. at this point i'm getting used to, but no tired of, his approach to things - so when i saw that he'd be interviewing elon musk that alone was reason enough for me to check it out. i love how fearless he is with his interviews. Cave of Forgotten Dreams this was the least interesting to me because i don't really care all that much about cave drawings, history, anthropology, etc. a few parts were interesting and some of the archeologists he interviewed were real whacky too, but overall this was wasn't an enjoyable one for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 yeah, not a dull moment in it. aside from all the footage out in the wild my favorite part was when campaigning politician comes by for a boat visit and none of the adult townspeople care, while the kids happily dance to the music he plays.
