Character Evaluation
Werner Herzog used the methods of forgery, imagination and stylization in his documentary creation, trying to achieve the surface truth pursued by unreal movies. He advocates not just trying to capture the reality of the subject or event, but to create it. In the concept of real film and direct film, Herzog's documentary uses "fictional" means, which can no longer be called a "documentary" . No matter what his movie concept is independent and open, no matter what the history, present and future of his lens is, or a certain color, country and country, what he really cares about is the common destiny of mankind, and his exploration is great for all people. Philosophical significance and aesthetic value .
