An interview with only one microphone where the person of interest can finish what he has to say and the interviewer have to politely ask to borrow the microphone if he wants to ask another question! Brilliant!
I did think to myself; exactly the same thing, wouldn't it have been better if they just paused for a break and sorted out the microphone problem?
I love Warner Herzog. I have seen all his "Death Row Interviews" and I have so much admiration and respect for his technique when it comes to the one on one interview with the people he speaks with. He makes his position clear from the start without any pretense and it allows for an honest and open exchange.
SMAOKA I agree 100% I love his narration, his honesty, and brilliance.
SMAOKA Yes I agree that he does not full them that he likes them. ones he told to one female he interviewed this that you are here does not mean that I like you. He can sense when he is being manipulated and makes clear to them that he will not play any games with them. I like him being there so intuitive and honest.
Great interview. Everything Werner Herzog has to say is interesting. Never a dull moment. A great original mind.
Werner is freakin awesome! He should have won an Oscar for Into the Abyss!
kd47730 Exactly!!!!
kd47730 I just watched "Into the Abyss," and I'd have to agree with you sir. WH is truly gifted. He knows exactly how to stir up feelings that are crucial for understanding just how hard the death penalty can crush all families involved.
This man is Brilliant!
I love his accent. So rich.
The part where he mentions CZcams as being "a uniformity of uninteresting stale images" is a bit ironic. I found this fantastic interview via CZcams. He may be right if you don't know what you're specifically looking for. If you do, however, CZcams has tons and tons of inspiring and informative film clips, interviews, documentaries, obscure music, instructional vids, etc. Either way, I love this guy!
So true.......Apart from music, which initially had me hooked on CZcams around 2008......For the last six years it became a total alternative to regular television watching.....the most amazing HD docus, movies , available with the click of a button.......It's all about what you're searching for.........
And I do like this man. His voice I could listen to him talk all day,and fall asleep. lol his voice is soothing.
I was wonderful to hear him talk about the "squirrel," moment in "Into the Abyss." I told this story to my girlfriend when I was describing why I so love his work. I said almost exactly what he says here. That no other man on earth would ask such a question and how he turns the man's emotions inside out, like magic. It's an incredible moment. There is also a moment in "on death row Linda Carty," where he is speaking to the prosecutor and she says that "we tend to humanise the criminal," and he says, "I do not humanise Linda Carty, she is a human being - period!" The woman is left speechless as she cannot refute this and the camera just stays on her as she slowly nods, without a word. An incredible moment and an incredible filmmaker.
I love his voice ,so clear and his Eng just great ,I love his show ,so many times cried with the flow of the events in the documentary .
His films are great.
I wish he would do more of the interviews on death row because he has the rite out look and a wonderful way of getting the stories out of the people on death row he shows respect for the victims and their family's and even for the offenders and their family's he's a wonderful man all around great guy
Leica Roberts im sûre documenting one guy must take time,but he has done many,and a lot of death row inmates don't want to be interviewed anyway
"I am the only one in all these movies who clearly makes sense...they are the eccentric."
His voice is just awesome!
I❤Werner Herzog!!! I love his heavy accent. I love every doc. and i also enjoy his DR. interviews. He is very to the point but fair hes also very honest. Hes the total opposite of Ray Hill. I dont like Rays interviews bc he seems to blow smoke up their ass to the point of faulse hope! Especially the ones that are absolutely guilty. Ray talks to these child killers and pedophiles like they have the nerve to not let you out to rape babies! Im very surprised Mr. Herzog didnt win accad award for into the abyss. I love that doc. I watched it at least 40× s When that violion music plays my hair stands on edge... He should be a national Treasure!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍10 thumbs up!!! great work...He is to film what Anne Rule is to books! You both rock!!!
The interviewer does a great job. He just lets him talk.
Werner is straight up clear and matter of fact. Listen to his words. I follow hi. easily on all of his topics. Discussions. The film's.
Death Penalty is explained is as each case presented.
No political Agenda.
Just reporting.
One of my ALL TIME favorite people I respect and admire him.
Well it's nice to finally see what you look like!! I love your doco's, I've watched quite a few of the death row stories.. very interesting and informative too.
Ps Hi from Australia 😁
Herr Herzog' need not carry the burden of his country's history on his shoulders. All our histories are imperfect.
Interesting to hear Werner diss CZcams, on CZcams. lol. I agree with his sentiment that homogenisation of content is happening on a mass scale BUT there still exist a great many avant garde and forward thinking media producers on CZcams too. They may not be the most popular, but we are here...
Herzog’s interviews and portrayals of Texas Death Row inmates and Texas are all thought-provoking essays on a grim topic in a grim land inhabited by humans doing their worst.
Rule number one when conducting an interview - have two working microphones.
Robert Durst at least there is no butting in on each other
his voice is smooth like morgan freemans
Whats up with the sharing of the microphone?Wow he must be quiet the host! Dont bust the studios budget lol
Loved his documentaries. But, I'm a Texan and support our death penalty and our use of it.
Next time two microphones please.
i want him to star in a remake of kindegarten cop teaching at a film school
verner herzog rules
I was born in 1970 and I didn't make my first phone call till I was 15
I am agAinst the death penalty. Keep it up your doing the right thing
34:10
I don’t see the correlation between the history of Germany and a court driven sentence. The state is Texas, and they vote for the DP.
Werner Herzog did not do his research on the hank skinner case. at the time when he made the documentary there already was evidence that would question hank Skinner's involvement in the murders. Herzog didn't do anything , he always says he's so against Capitol murder, in this case he didn't care and he only wanted to make good TV.
been a while since i seen it, but, the guy was guilty as f
what exactly did you want werner to do?? he made a documentary for god sake !
herzog is somebody...so all u nobodies out there should just listen to what he says in silence
FACT vs. TRUTH
FACT: Building the pyramids was a waste of resources which instead could have been used to make weapons, chariots, and defensive fortifications to help keep out the Babylonians and Assyrians to the east, and Nubians to the south..
TRUTH: The pyramids were the best allocation of resources, everything else was a waste of resources.
justice for hank skinner. x
WH XXX
R.I.P Michael Perry and the other inmates On death row whom lost their lives in this inhuman way
They are human rebillitat instead
The death penalty is evil and disgusting.....
Interviewer is much too fawning.
I’ve listened to and watched many interviews with Herzog, and he doesn’t need anyone to tell him how great his work is.
Just ask a direct question and let him speak.
Do not pontificate like a big sissy.
Fantastic film maker. Interesting character. Terrible record with regard to animal welfare.
Leaves this vegan film maker confused about how I feel about him.
his documentaries are very interesting. The only thing about him that I find a turn off is that he is so arrogant.
the human can only be angry when someone stands on his own beliefs so strongly. and unfortunately there are more human species like you in this world!
dongydongy most people would see him as calm and rational,but arrogant no
Michael Perry yeah Verner, why didn't you tell Jason Burkett the same thing, that you don't have to like him? Jason was the co-murderer, he would've been on death row just like Michael Perry, but Jason's Father pleaded for his son not to be put to death, but to be sentenced instead to life. (No parole.)
Btw, that's some pretty horrid editing you did on Into the Abyss. You edited it to make it appear as if Jason was the father of a baby! Ummm...NO. JUST NO. Shame on you.
Megan Bordenave What’s with defending Parry (not Perry)? If you’ve watched the series, Mr. Herzog tells EVERY one of the subjects of the documentary that he does not have to like them.
Werner, closet death voyeur.
You mean there shouldn't be made docus about capital punishment ?
It's indeed a very controversial real life topic ,which is assured lots of views, but it's far from being done in the usual American sensationalist voyeuristic way, with lots of references to "god" , which you're probably used to.
This German film maker (who knows about institutionalised execution) does it with integrity ....
