Haunting is such an accurate way to describe it, both that moment and the documentary.
Glad it sent you speculating on the story behind her (I have a few of my own), that act is sometimes more interesting than the real answer (or at least more fun haha).
Excited to hear what you think after you watch it, I'm sure you'll get an even greater desire to explore, travel, a few laughs at the situations and Herzog's humor, and maybe even learn a thing or two to refine your already great ability at asking the right questions.
This is so fascinating, Oscar. These two lines sparked my curiosity to travel to Antarctica:
“There’s an implicit thread of curiosity being their reason to be there. Curiosity to explore every last corner of earth, dive into the unknown and come out with something unexpected.”
So beautiful said. I’ve added the Herzog documentary to my watch-list. It feels like something that will make me ask “why didn’t I watch this sooner?”
Also, I’m curious how you and your wife decided on your honeymoon destinations. So many places to go! Perhaps we save this topic for one of our discussions.
I'm sure you'll love it Rachael! Would like to hear your thoughts after you watch it. It's a very different documentary as we're used to, and you appreciating cinema makes me certaing you'll enjoy it.
Definitely! We can talk about that whenever, sometimes the reasons are banal and sometimes more profound (in this case it was a combination of both), but there's always an underlying desire to get off the beaten path.
Thank you so much for your comments! I'm glad you liked it and moved you both to explore Antarctica and the documentary :)
Your writing always calms me down, Oscar. You have this power of making the reader feel at ease and instantly transporting them wherever you’re writing from (cause it feels like you’re writing from the places and situations you’re describing, every time). I love this issue, and your appreciation of Herzog transpires nicely. Bravo!
Thank you so much Silvio! This makes me understand myself and my writing better, I'm glad that's the feeling you get, both the calming and being transported to the place.
Also thank you for reminding me about the book, it was a memorable moment of synchronicity. Always grateful to have you in my corner!
That moment sounds weirdly haunting.
So curious about the woman that passed by with tears.
I’m immediately coming up with stories in my head to make sense of it.
“There’s no urge in them to conquer, but more to understand an enigmatic place” is a beautiful sentiment.
I’ll be watching this one. I’m excited. Especially with what you mentioned about Herzog getting those candid interviews.
