HERZOG: So that's the problem. And only during the pandemic, my wife said to me, why don't you write it down now?

Language, it occurs, is a running theme in Herzog’s work. It was first apparent in Last Words, his 1968 study of a Greek hermit who refuses to speak, and it extends right through to Family Romance, LLC with its army of intelligent translators. Heart of Glass and Kaspar Hauser suggest that language is at once an artificial social construct and the mould that shapes us, defines us. In which case it must follow that we become slightly different people depending on the language that we speak. Herzog, for his part, has led a life in translation. Does he have a different sense of himself when he is speaking in English or German? 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.”

This way, all I have is my own imagination of Herzog's comments on Onoda's life and that's not what I came for. In questo libro, Herzog fa una carrellata su gran parte della vita di Onoda, un uomo che per un trentennio è stato all'oscuro della fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, ha vissuto nella giungla, sull'isola filippina di Lubang, continuando a combattere, in difesa, per il Giappone.

They survived on stolen food from outlying villagers. Often they would fire shots to scare everyone away, and they would go in and steal rice and other staples. They also killed farm animals and smoked the meat to preserve it, but they could only have fires during the rainy season or in dense fog because otherwise the smoke would give away their location. SHAPIRO: You told The New Yorker that you had this story in you for 20 years, not quite as long as Onoda spent fighting his imaginary war but a long time. Why do you think you held off writing it until now?

Herzog was honored at the 49th San Francisco International Film Festival, receiving the 2006 Film Society Directing Award.

Hogy nem bolondul meg az ember harminc év alatt, ez a kérdés. Jó, hát Onodának van egy-két bajtársa, még ha azok lassacskán le is morzsolódnak mellőle. Ezen felül alapos kiképzést kapott gerillahadviselésből, ami szintúgy elengedhetetlen, ha az ember esőerdei életre van kárhoztatva. De mindez aligha lenne elegendő, ha Onoda nem sajátítaná el az önbecsapás nemes művészetét. Mert a fizikai kihívásokat még csak túl lehet élni megfelelő katonai felkészítéssel - de a mentális leépülés kezelése más módszert kíván. Például azt, hogy Onoda tudatát eltöltse a sziklaszilárd hit, hogy a háború még tart, és ennek a háborúnak ő egy fontos csavarja - a csavar pedig ne gondolkodjon, hanem teljesítse be a neki rendelt szerepet. Ne ember legyen, hanem eszköz, mert az eszköz nem kérdőjelezi meg saját funkcióját. Ezzel a technikával Onoda távol tartja magától a kétely árnyékát is. Hiába szűrődnek be buborékjába a külvilág hírei, minden, ami ellentmond hitének, lepattan róla. De a valóság kitartó fajzat. Ott van, még akkor is, ha nem akarod észrevenni. És hiába kerülgeted éveken át, egyszer úgyis eljön a pillanat, amikor orra buksz benne.

The long-awaited memoir by the legendary filmmaker and celebrated author. Told in Werner Herzog's inimitable voice, this is the story of his epic artistic career, as inventive and daring as anything he has done before.French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive". [4] American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." [5] He was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time in 2009. [6] Life [ edit ] Early life [ edit ] Pero esto es poco. O, si se quiere, es tan sólo la premisa con la que el libro se le vende al lector desprevenido. Los que admiramos la obra del cineasta alemán sabemos que la vida, en su obra, se despliega con mayor fuerza en los silencios y paisajes, en los gestos y las acciones que no se explican, que deslumbran y modifican el entorno moral no más desplegadas. Acá la selva deja ver eso: la vulnerabilidad de nuestros sueños y la falta de certeza de cada uno de nuestros anhelos. Con todo, nos arriesgamos. Somos capaces de vivir con ahínco y sin titubeos, de desplegar una risa en medio de la adversidad más tremenda. Somos vulnerables; y nuestro carácter se nutre de nuestra capacidad para proyectar sentido más allá de las nefastas circunstancias en las que podamos llegar a encontrarnos. En últimas, viajamos entre pisadas, y el presente no es más que la proyección desde el pasado —el paso que acabamos de dar— hacia el futuro. Vivimos alzados sobre la tierra, a la espera de que nuestros cálculos e ideales se consoliden lo mejor posible. En medio de ello, erramos, nos equivocamos así no busquemos maltratar ni menoscabar a nadie.
