About this deal

This amnesty was granted by the Philippine dictator, Ferdinand Marcos, largely because there was good publicity in it. Many pictures were taken and the surrender of Onoda’s sword was re-enacted with Marcos for the benefit of TV cameras. Marcos said that Onoda should be judged by standards of actions during wartime, so I guess everything he and his men did was okay, even though they at times shot and killed innocent villagers. I did not go into this slim volume expecting to get new info. What I wanted was Werner Herzog's HOT TAKE on the topic. Because let's face it. Herzog is a genius, but his views on crazy men (Kinski being just the tip of the iceberg of crazy men he worked with or portrayed) and jungles really do come out of left field. egy olvasói véleményt, miszerint ez a könyv túl rövid. Szerintem nagyjából pont olyan hosszú, amilyen hosszúnak lennie kell. Nyilván Herzog elidőzhetett volna a katonák közti interakciók átalakulásán, vagy dolgozhatott volna többet azon, hogy ábrázolja az esőerdei élet nehézségeit, mondjuk Bear Grylls modorában. De őt alighanem nem ez érdekelte. Hanem az időből való kiszakítottság, a hazaszeretet oltárára hanyag mozdulattal odadobott három évtized. És a végső pillanat, amikor a hazugságok kipukkadnak. Amikor ott áll az ember, és hiába nem akarja, kénytelen feltenni magának a kérdést: ennek meg mi a toszom értelme volt? Beggs, Scott (12 September 2012). "6 FILMMAKING TIPS FROM WERNER HERZOG".

In 1997, Werner Herzog was in Tokyo to direct an opera. His hosts asked him, Whom would you like to meet? He replied instantly: Hiroo Onoda. Onoda was a former soldier famous for having quixotically defended an island in the Philippines for decades after World War II, unaware the fighting was over. Herzog and Onoda developed an instant rapport and met many times, talking and unraveling the story of Onoda’s long war. The Dream Driven Filmmaking of Werner Herzog: Watch the Video Essay, “The Inner Chronicle of What We Are: Understanding Werner Herzog”In the winter of 1974, upon learning of the impending death of his friend Lotte H. Eisner, Herzog began a three week pilgrimage, traversing the route from Munich to Paris on foot. He believed this act of devotion would prolong Eisner's life. During these travels Herzog kept a diary which would eventually be published as Of Walking in Ice. Kohn, Eric (11 September 2018).

Werner Herzog ( German: [ˈvɛʁnɐ ˈhɛʁtsoːk]; né Stipetić; [1] born 5 September 1942) is a German film director, screenwriter, author, actor, and opera director, regarded as a pioneer of New German Cinema. His films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, [2] people with unusual talents in obscure fields, or individuals in conflict with nature. [3] His filmmaking process includes disregarding storyboards, emphasizing improvisation, and placing the cast and crew into similar situations to characters in his films. In 2011, Herzog competed with Ridley Scott to make a film based around the life of explorer Gertrude Bell. [43] In 2012, it was confirmed that Herzog would start production on his long-in-development project in March 2013 in Morocco with Naomi Watts to play Gertrude Bell along with Robert Pattinson to play T. E. Lawrence and Jude Law to play Henry Cadogan. [44] The film was completed in 2014 with a different cast: Nicole Kidman as Gertrude Bell, James Franco as Henry Cadogan, Damian Lewis as Charles Doughty-Wylie, and Robert Pattinson as a 22-year-old archaeologist T. E. Lawrence. Queen of the Desert had its world premiere at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival. [45] Herzog in 2015

Ebert, Roger (30 April 1999). "Herzog's Minnesota declaration: defining 'ecstatic truth' ". RogerEbert.com . Retrieved 8 August 2017. Herzog completed a documentary called Cave of Forgotten Dreams in 2010, which shows his journey into the Chauvet Cave in France. Although generally skeptical of 3D film as a format, [38] Herzog premiered the film at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival in 3-D and had its European premiere at the 2011 Berlinale. Also in 2010, Herzog co-directed with Dimitry Vasuykov Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, which portrays the life of fur trappers from the Siberian part of the Taiga, and had its premiere at the 2010 Telluride Film Festival. [39] Boulevard der Stars [ de] in Berlin Like his films ( Fitzcarraldo, say, or Aguirre, the Wrath of God), Herzog’s memoir is a decidedly nontraditional piece of storytelling . . . The book is written in a literary voice that is outspoken and conversational . . . (The translation by Hofmann, who has also translated books by Wim Wenders and Franz Kafka, is delightful.) A fascinating portrait of an inventive and idiosyncratic filmmaker.” — Booklist

Sin dall'inizio, Herzong precisa che non tutto è basato interamente sui fatti: lui ha a cuore l'essenza della storia. Come scrivevo prima, Herzog procede per sottrazione, andando al cuore delle cose: “Ciò che stava a cuore all’autore, infatti, come dovette riconoscere durante il suo incontro con il protagonista, era altro: l’essenza della storia.” Cronin, Paul; Werner Herzog (2002).
