Herzog Retrospective, Centre Pompidou. In a perfect capital system, how can we insist on ourselves, not to mention, the film itself is a product of industrial capital. This documentary was invited and funded by the Discovery Channel, a film about the people of the continent that currently hosts the fewest humans. Herzog uses prose to complete this assignment (monologues, narrations, comments, and direct communication with the subject, so that the film is full of subjective antecedent colors), which is generally quite satisfactory, but this film After it was completed, the Discovery Channel refused to broadcast it on the pretext of being too artistic, so the film had to be converted to a big screen and screened in a small area, but it also won a lot of audiences and word of mouth. Notify Lao He can be broadcast on Discovery Channels around the world. Herzog reluctantly recounted this episode in the exchange meeting at the end of the screening. Today, the auditorium of the Pompidou No. 1 is full, and everyone seems to be looking forward to Herzog's re-creation of the "shoe-eating" legend. A French grandmother asked, "When we mention German directors, three names immediately come to our mind, Fassbender, you and Wenders. What do you think of the other two?" Speaking of German directors, Murnau, Lang, and then Murnau immediately appeared in his mind. In fact, I don't particularly like this documentary, and I'm looking forward to Saturday's "Damn".

[last lines]
Stefan Pashov: There is a beautiful saying by an American philosopher, Alan Watts. He used to say that through our eyes the universe is perceiving itself, and through our ears the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies. And we are the witness to which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.
