Soldiers of Cinema - Exploring the Works and Philosophies of filmmaker Werner Herzog
In this episode we discuss Herzog’s 1997, Little Dieter Needs to Fly., a documentary about German-American pilot Dieter Dengler’s extraordinary experiences and escape as a POW in Vietnam. Herzog would later go on to direct a narrative feature, Rescue Dawn, starring Christian Bale, about the same subject.
What does this pair of films, one a documentary about POW Dieter Dengler, the other a drama based upon his story, tell us about the moral obligations film makers have toward the subjects of their films? How does the treatment of Eugene DeBruin in Rescue Dawn illustrate director Werner Herzog's failure in regard to these obligations? How did Dieter Dengler's early life in Post War Germany prepare him for enduring the horrors of captivity, and the rigors of the escape undertaken by his group? How does the movie illustrate the common tendency in Hollywood to underplay the challenges veterans face as they return from war? Does this indicate a cultural discomfort with these issues? What commentary does this provide on the broader American society's stewardship responsibilities toward those who serve, and experience the rigors of war?
We return to Werner Herzog as all good people should and discuss the disturbingly timely, LITTLE DIETER NEEDS TO FLY. We also talk STAR TREK BEYOND and INFINITY TRAIN.

In this week's episode, we discuss two documentaries which deal with seemingly tortured individuals undertaking extremely impressive physical and mental feats. First, 2018 climbing doc "Free Solo", which tells the story of Alex Honnold and his attempt to scale the El Capitan rock face in Yosemite National Park without any equipment. Secondly, "Little Dieter Needs to Fly", a 1997 Werner Herzog documentary about the brilliantly named US pilot, Dieter Dengler, who was shot down over Laos in the Vietnam War.

Or Why Don't They Make the Whole Plane Out of Dieter? Remember when that asshole John McCain died, back in August? Now you do. In the spirit of kicking men when they're down, and speaking ill of the dead, Back and to the Left looks at another US Navy pilot: Dieter Dengler. Together, John and Greg with the help of Werner Herzog, learn what it takes to survive, what's inescapable and how to barbecue on the move. Please enjoy team, this was a great movie.
In this episode of the Director's Club, we try to keep pace with the second half of the career of Werner Herzog. It's a journey that moves from examinations of social issues we deal with today to artistry from the dawn of man (presented in 3D, no less!), from the Alaskan wilderness to the hearts of volcanoes to the southernmost part of the Earth itself, and leapfrogs several times over the borders of documentary and fiction filmmaking.
