German film director Werner Herzog:

Grizzly Man, directed by Herzog, was awarded the Alfred P. Sloan Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. In 2006, Herzog was shot in the abdomen while on Skyline Drive in Los Angeles. He had been giving an interview on Grizzly Man to Mark Kermode of the BBC.[29][30] Herzog continued the interview without seeking medical treatment, stating “it’s not significant”. The shooter later turned out to be a crazed fan with an air-rifle. Regarding the incident, Herzog later said, “I seem to attract the clinically insane.” In a 2021 episode of Diminishing Returns podcast covering Herzog’s film Stroszek, presenter Dallas Campbell called this incident a hoax, claiming to be friends with the director of the piece and that the incident was “set up”.[31] Two days later, Herzog helped actor Joaquin Phoenix exit his car after a car-crash.[32]

Details:

In early April 2005, Phoenix checked himself into rehab to be treated for alcoholism.[179] Twelve years later, he revealed that he did not need an intervention: “I really just thought of myself as a hedonist. I was an actor in L.A. I wanted to have a good time. But I wasn’t engaging with the world or myself in the way I wanted to”. On January 26, 2006, while driving down a winding canyon road in Hollywood, Phoenix veered off the road and flipped his car.[180] The crash was reportedly caused by brake failure. Shaken and confused, he heard someone tapping on his window and telling him to “just relax”. Unable to see the man, Phoenix replied, “I’m fine. I am relaxed.” The man replied, “No, you’re not.” The man then stopped Phoenix from lighting a cigarette while gasoline was leaking into the car cabin. Phoenix realized that the man was German filmmaker Werner Herzog. While Herzog helped Phoenix out of the wreckage by breaking the back window of the car, bystanders called an ambulance. Phoenix approached Herzog to express his gratitude.[181]

After recovering from her injuries, Koepcke assisted search parties in locating the crash site and recovering the bodies of victims. Her mother’s body was discovered on January 12, 1972. Koepcke moved back to Germany and fully recovered from her wounds. Like her parents, Koepcke earned a degree in biology and returned to Peru to do extensive research on bats. Her double survival story has been the subject of books and films, including her own autobiography, When I Fell From the Sky, and a documentary by director Werner Herzog called Wings of Hope. Herzog was interested in telling Koepcke’s story because of a personal connection. He was slated to be on her flight in 1971, but a last-minute change of plans spared him from the plane crash.

Wings of Hope (German: Julianes Sturz in den Dschungel, literally “Juliane’s Freefall into the Jungle”) is a 1998 made-for-TV documentary directed by Werner Herzog. The film explores the story of Juliane Koepcke, a German Peruvian woman who was the sole survivor of Peruvian flight LANSA Flight 508 following its mid-air disintegration after a lightning strike in 1971. Herzog was inspired to make this film since he had narrowly avoided taking the same flight while he was location scouting for Aguirre, Wrath of God; his reservation had been canceled due to a last minute change in itinerary. In the film, Herzog and Koepcke visit the scenes of her flight, crash, and escape from the jungle. They take a flight from Lima to Pucallpa (though with a different airline), and sit in the same row of seats where Koepcke sat during the crash. They unearth many large fragments of the plane in the jungle, and then visit the river routes where she traveled for 10 days on foot, and the small village where she was eventually found by three men, one of whom appears in the film.

In the past, many of you have mentioned to me that you feel strange connections to certain people. Sometimes people in the public eye. Sometimes people you randomly see, but never speak to.

I am not referring to being someone’s “biggest fan”.

It can be someone who grabs your attention whom you may not even like.

If I had to pick a list of 5, Herzog would be on mine.

I don’t know why.

This is weird:

During a Reddit AMA with Errol Morris and Joshua Oppenheimer, legendary film director Werner Herzog revealed that his biggest fear…is chickens. “Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.”
