Film: Encounters at the End of the World
There
nature documentaries and documentaries about people, and some that do not know if going from one thing or another, because, of course, in fact people are part of nature, chemistry evolved the end of the day. There
Anyway, I saw a gem of a poet "film" that has surprised me several times before, and he has done it again: Werner Herzog, the author, among other masterpieces, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Nosferatu, Vampire of the night (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982) or, more recently, Grizzly Man (2005).
recommendation This is today's film, a documentary
Encounters World's End (2007), Werner Herzog
film today Encounters at the End of the World
Original title: Encounters at the End of the World
Director: Werner Herzog
Year: 2007
IMDB: more information
I do not want Gutted, I will simply say that is an unusual documentary over Antarctica. The narrator, Herzog himself, and said right at the beginning that when the National Science Foundation United States invited him to shoot a documentary on the U.S. main base has on the continent, McMurdo, he said something like, "Do not expect me another documentary about penguins."
course of nature that is around McMurdo Herzog is an important part of the documentary, in fact it is just one of the protagonists of the film (as was the case, for example, Grizzly Man ). The remaining players are the people who are there. Marine biologists who dive under the ice, theoretical physicists hunting the neutrino in the stratosphere, specialists icebergs 300 kilometers long, scholars of sexuality of the Penguins or the breast milk of seals ... but drivers of heavy machinery in the base, maintenance technicians, cooks ... and all have interesting things to say. Are all "special" in one form or another. Although no one takes the cake and is the Herzog chooses to start the movie and to finish: the heavy truck driver, Stefan Pashov (philosopher). It is found
Herzog
down from the backhoe and makes her innocent question ...
I leave you with the final minutes of the documentary, which ends with the fascinating new Pashov Stefan (can be whole in Youtube in files with the same name, numbered 1 to 10):

W. Herzog . - Who leading heavy machinery and what brought them to Antarctica?
S. Pashov. - is a long history. I explored many parts of the mind and many worlds of ideas and started before learning to read and write. My grandmother read The Odyssey and The Iliad, so I started to fantasize about my trip before I knew I had the means to carry it out, but my head was ready. And traveling with Ulysses and the Argonauts surprising to those lands and that stuck with me, the fascination with the world, and I fell in love with the world. Herzogsee the reef and insists:
W. Herzog . - And how is that we are at the ends of the earth?
S. Pashov. - I think it's a logical place to be because this site is almost like the natural choice for people who want to leave the margins of the map, and we are here, where the lines converge on the map. There is nothing further south than the South Pole. And I believe there are enough people who travel full time and works part time. They are professional dreamers. Jingle all the way through them and making the greatest cosmic dreams, dreams of the universe through our own, and there are many ways for reality to manifest. Dreaming is one of those ways.I would say there is no better summary of the documentary that Herzog's response engineer-philosopher.
I leave you with the final minutes of the documentary, which ends with the fascinating new Pashov Stefan (can be whole in Youtube in files with the same name, numbered 1 to 10):
S. Pashov. - There is such a beautiful American philosopher [sic] * , Alan Watts, saying that through our eyes the universe perceives itself and through our their ears hear the Universe cosmic harmony and we are the witnesses through whom the universe becomes aware of his glory and magnificence.
_________ * Watts is British, but that's not important.
