After trying to make heads or tails of Pokémon Go, Herzog concluded, “You’d have to give me a cell phone, which I’m not going to use anyway, and I have no clue what’s going on there, but I don’t need to play the game.”
I am quite certain that no film schools are going to tell you to make a film like Even Dwarfs Started Small, or have you hypnotize your entire cast (Heart of Glass) or drag that boat over that mountain and you know turn the local people against you because you are clearly a madman.
When you hear Spike Lee talk about learning @ NYU film school you know he never once covers when you need to point a loaded revolver at your leading man and stuff like that.
Genius level guy obviously - the only rival to Coppola's 70s big 4 imo - what he made in his great period were not just movies or any of the BS...........the "Spielberg cinema experience" blah blah blah - Herzog made seismic philosophical events that were informed by life and that has evaporated in films - he lived life he didn't need someone to tell him about movies about life or the structure and safety that film school provides - the way coming across a copy and reading Nausea at 17 on your own would be different than being TOLD to read Nausea, the way you can only now get it by only doing something else........anything else .........than going to a mere movie.
