Something... Something

Something interesting that I found in this movie:
- A scientist describes the sound of the seals under the Antarctica sea as "it's something like Pink Floyd..."
- A Penguin is going to the inner land of the south pole, in another words , to his death, for unknown reason... Penguins are crazy animals.
- Divers are like "astronauts floating in the space"
- There's trillions of neutrinos in passing through our noses right now
- We can travel by putting ourselves in a suitcase
- Human is going to an end finally, like dinosaurs
- We are so small and weak, but we humans are the strongest of all other creatures.
- People would like and dare to climb into a volcano


something on my mind when I was watching this movie :
- Every one is so crazy in this movie, human beings are crazy, but the world is crazier than everyone.
- I want to be a happy penguin in one of my next life.
- There are so many individual creatures on this planet and they live their own lives, to survive and have fun
- Werner Herzog is an articulate German who speaks really good English with a light German accent and he asks good questions.
- Is it possible that one day, South and North Pole become the warmest places and the tropic become as cold as the Poles now?
- And What if the magnate goes around the world along the tropic?
- Thought I like this movie and I respect the scientists there, I don't quite agree to put too much technology and explode the iceberg to make a hole to dive.
- The real world is more exciting than any fiction


This is the second(only in order of time) best (as best as the first one) movie I watched this year. So far, I can only remember these what I thought when watching. All in all, it's a great movie, shocking, realistic, creative, inspiring, evocative...

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Werner Herzog: It occurred to me that in the time that we spent with him in the greenhouse possibly three or four languages have died. In our efforts to preserve endangered species we seem to overlook something equally important. To me, it's a sign of a deeply disturbed civilization, where tree-huggers and whale-huggers in their weirdness are acceptable, while no one embraces the last speakers of a language.

  • Werner Herzog: For me, the best description of hunger is the description of bread. A poet said that once I think. For me, the best description of freedom is what you have in front of you. You're travelling a lot.
