YouTube - Land of Silence and Darkness, clip 2: Apr 26, 6:04am 2 reviews movies, video, werner-herzog
http://video.stumbleupon.com/?p=xw8r36b270; Having watched Herzog's Land of Silence and Darkness recently (just a couple of months ago), I guess I could describe what I like about Herzog's technique and stuff, but what I'm really obsessed with is the feeling of being able to read his thoughts when I watch his films, or the feeling that I am inhabiting his mind, looking through his odd monocular vision. Land of Silence and Darkness is a documentary about people who are blind and deaf, and it describes a kind of spectrum based on the characters' amount of contact with the world. Fini Straubinger, for instance, clasps people to her, laughs heartily, and animatedly signs onto people's palms. When she meets another blind-deaf woman, she writes "I am your sister in darkness" onto her hand. She hosts a party that culminates in her friends tentatively feeling their way through a cactus garden. On the other hand, this clip from the film shows a man who's been neglected his whole life and is living in a kind of feral, inchoate isolation. When someone gives him a radio for the first time, his face acquires a kind of focus. In the scene where he clasps the radio to his heart, I felt my own chest vibrating, too. It's so powerful, this scene. He's an eerie film subject to watch, since he has no idea that he's participating in a film. You know, speech is fine. I have a love-hate relationship with speech, the spoken word. But I've often wondered why all of us don't use hand signs and sign language on a regular basis, too.
It seems like it would be so lovely to trace alphabets onto another person's palm. Or tell a story on someone's thigh. Or write a sonnet on the sole of someone's foot.

My Best Fiend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Aug 27, 2007 2:45am 1 review acting, werner-herzog
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend; KLAUS KINKSIHerzog is a miserable, hateful malevolent, avaricious, money-hungry, nasty, sadistic, treacherous, blackmailing, cowardly, thoroughly dishonest creep. He should be thrown alive to the crocodiles! An anaconda should strangle him slowly! A poisonous spider should sting him and paralyze his lungs! The most venomous serpent should bite him and make his brain explode! No! panther claws should rip open his throat-- that would be much too good for him! No! The huge red ants should piss into his lying eyes and gobble up his balls and his guts! He should catch the plague! Syphilis! Malaria! Yellow fever! Leprosy! It's no use; the more I wish him the most gruesome deaths, the more he haunts me. His speech is clumsy, with a toadlike indolence, long winded, pedantic, choppy. The words tumble from his mouth in sentence fragments, which he holds back as much as possible, as if they were earning interest. It takes forever and a day for him to push out a clump of hardened brain snot. Then he writhes in painful ecstasy, as if he had sugar on his rotten teeth. A very slow blab machine. An obsolete model with a non-working switch-- it can't be turned off unless you cut off the electric power altogether. So I'd have to smash him in the kisser. No, I'd have to knock him unconscious. But even if he were unconscious he'd keep talking. Even if his vocal cords were sliced through, he'd keep talking like a ventriloquist. Even if his throat were cut and his head were chopped off, speech balloons would still dangle from his mouth like gases emitted by internal decay.

YouTube - Herzog on the obscenity of the jungle: Aug 6, 2007 11:46pm 7 reviews filmmaking, video, werner-herzog
http://video.stumbleupon.com/?p=st4xsm6zmf; "[The jungle is] not so much erotic, but full of obscenity. Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotic here. I see fornication and asphyxiation and choking, fighting for survival and growing and just rotting away. Of course there's a lot of misery, but it's the same misery that's all around us. The trees are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing; they just screech in pain. Taking a close look at what's around us, there is some sort of harmony. It's the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It's not that I hate it. I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment."
These are Werner Herzog's words. I would like to sear them onto my eyes so that it will be all that I see. Anyone got a blowtorch?
