i watch like 8 or 9 herzog movie and none of them have any impact on me . i watch several documentary about him . he be obviously an intelligent man and with great knowledge about film and passion for make them and but do this make him a good director . definitely no . a complete anti talent . he can make a good documentary because of previously mention trait and but a film with actor never . he can not direct nor write . his screenplay be full of badly think out situation and and many situation or dialogue in his movie be so childishly and badly do that they can not be hide behind the word art in any sense . no way . not to mention the unskillful direction and so amateurish like . to say that he want to direct like that and write crap like that be a lie . like the scene when scheitz get arrest and storszek hide in the back of the store . who be he kid . he be a cheater while he know what fake intellectual and critic want . he know what elements he need to put in the script to get your their attention and empty praising . never mind the rest of the script and sloppy direction . just look at julio medem . if herzog can make a movie like medem can and then i might re check his old movie and try to find talent in them .
