You need to be a weirdo once or twice in your life

Every time I see this kind of weird movie, I am very envious. I envy how their lives can be so wonderful, and how can they be so bizarre.

The banker became a truck driver here, and the linguist regretted the disappearance of the language, so he came to the Antarctic where there is no language, to grow vegetables in greenhouses for everyone, and a professional travel woman who experienced a near-death experience, performed a super nonsensical "traveler" for everyone. Backpacks”, and fugitives with packed luggage ready for the next adventure… Antarctica has screening rules, and the world’s most freedom-loving, smartest, and most nonsensical weirdos are screened out of the funnel and brought to Antarctica.

In their eyes, the most important things are not money, power, comfort, and stability. But nature, freedom, truth, heart. Love these weirdos.

The most impressive thing is the weird penguin in the film who left his companions and food and ran to the Antarctic mountains. What was he thinking? Does he know that what awaits him ahead is a long period of loneliness and death? It's a pity that the director can't interfere with him, and he can't follow him all the time, otherwise it must be another wonderful documentary.

Being a geek takes a price, even your life.

I'm still the most mundane one, and it's enough to be a weird guy once or twice. Wait for me, the place closest to the sky, Tibet; wait for me, the most quiet and pure place, Antarctica.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Werner Herzog: For this and many other reasons, our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technical civilization makes us particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them agree, the end of human life on this earth is assured. Human life is part of an endless chain of catastrophies, the demise of the dinosaurs being just one of these events. We seem to be next.

  • Werner Herzog: As if we had wanted to leave one remnant of our presence on this planet, they would find a frozen sturgeon mysteriously hidden away beneath the mathematically precise true south pole. They stash it back away into its frozen shrine for another eternity.
