Into the Abyss--"A Story of Death and Life

Death is never the end of life. For the dead, it is a quiet return, even in a hurry, even if it is helpless; for the living, it is a great and precious lesson, and we will all grow up in grief. The outstanding German director Werner Herzog's documentary "Gaze into the Abyss" is not a questioning of the verdict of a lawsuit, not a denunciation of a crime, not even a protest against the death...

Art always comes from life, but it can never be higher than life

Those questions we ask because we are human

Sometimes it's easy to be certain of your opinion and its validity when you only hear one side of the story. This documentary sets out to shatter your sense of certainty by presenting to you as many aspects of the same story as possible.

It's clear that the director himself is against death penalty. It would have been easy for him to cut out the part where the women who lost her mother and brother said that the death of Micheal gave her relief. Without that statement, this film would...
