Herzog said: "I want a different Antarctica"
and there is "Meet at the End of the World",

which may be the best documentary I've ever seen, and probably the cutest documentary.

Some shoddy stuff has been It is accustomed to explain nature from the perspective of human beings.
Lion mothers and baby lions
and elephants and the coronation ceremony of elephants.
Humans and wolves live in harmony.

They speak out to the public in place of nature, irresponsible elaboration, just record the details, and then find a voice If you hand over his worldview to the audience, the audience will naturally accept

that humans can really understand animals, obviously they can't even understand themselves. What we see are appearances. Even if we observe with our heart, what we get is experience. You can't understand a lion or a penguin just like you can't understand a lonely tree.
In fact, human beings are the loneliest. In the economic society, they give up their understanding of others and their own understanding, and eventually fall into loneliness and cannot save
them . This kind of loneliness comes from life on the one hand, and self-righteousness on the other hand. He thinks he understands others and understands his own situation.

In the film, Herzog's only interview about animal behavior, he chose a researcher who has studied penguins for more than 20 years. People, but he can't say anything, penguins need to mate, and some penguins will break away from their kin. These are things of experience, seen through the eyes, so it is not appropriate to elaborate. Adhering to the humility of not understanding phenomena is one of the things that I find lovely about the film.

In fact, human beings have long been accustomed to controlling nature
and asking for anything. The ratio of animals has dropped, or they called on humans not to eat any animals, creating an atmosphere of intoxication. At this moment, animals are facing large-scale hunting, and may even be extinct. Just watching science movies, or spiritual baptism or something like

"Wow, those little animals are so cute"
"It's so pathetic that they're about to be eaten"
"Mother lion don't die"
Then a certain page in the newspaper the next day said that so-and-so animal is on the verge of extinction, and there are only seven left on the earth. People who read the newspaper are indifferent. The
world is inevitably going to decline, and human beings are also heading for destruction while exploring the universe. Unavoidable. Modern humans are labor animals, and the only motivation is driven by money to promote consumption growth. Movies are just one of the popular consumer goods.

Herzog thought the city was boring, so he went to the Antarctic
. I just watched "Antarctic Chef" by Masato Sakai not long ago. I thought that the Antarctic where there is only ice and snow, polar night and boring Ogisang
polar day would be different?

There is an old man who dived for the last time, soft enough to stuff himself in The female man with the handbag, the physicist who narrates everything in great detail, and the rotten country's little fresh meat volcanologist Yes, another main reason for liking this movie is that I like this little fresh meat, but Listening to him really feels like doing a TOEFL reading...
There are people watching movies, playing instruments, doing experiments, sometimes quiet life and sometimes noisy together, I think it's pretty good too

    through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. I love rock's biologists!

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • William Jirsa: I like to say, if you take everybody who's not tied down they all sort of fall down to the bottom of the planet, so that's how we got here, you know. We're all at loose ends, and here we are together. I remember when I first got down here I sort of enjoyed the sensation of recognizing people with my travel markings. I was like, hey, these are my people. PhDs washing dishes and linguists on a continent with no languages.

  • Werner Herzog: In the stupid trend of academia, it would be better to let the language die than to preserve it.
