The two men see pornographic pictures. Strangely coiled naked bodies, performing unchaste acts in groups, in hopeless configurations. - Werner Herzog

Coincidences always happen if you keep your mind open, while storyboards remain the instruments of cowards who do not trust in their own imagination and who are slaves of a matrix... If you get used to planning your shots based solely on aesthetics, you are never that far from kitsch.

I'm completely aware and utterly aware that Russia [the Soviet Union] lost 25 million people for winning the war, and I know that Russian troops were the ones who liberated concentration camps, Auschwitz and others, and I'm aware that there's an incredible sacrifice on the side of Russia, and I do believe that it's ignored because of course of political interests. It's very much the question what are the facts, maybe 600 or so thousand American soldiers lost their lives in the Second World War, 25–26 million Russian. Those are facts that cannot be ignored, and today it's not that really important what really happened, it's more the question who owns the narrative, and occupying the narrative has created some sort of lopsided ideologies in lopsided information, that we see every day.

Camisea 7/2/81

La naturaleza ha recobrado el juicio, solo la selva sigue amenazante, inmóvil. El río, ese monstruo, fluye sin sonido. La noche cae muy rápido y, como siempre a esta hora, los últimos pájaros insultan a la tarde. Canto ronco, sonidos inquietantes y por debajo, uniforme, el chirrido de las primeras cigarras. De tanto trabajar bajo la lluvia tengo los dedos arrugados como las lavanderas. En la espalda tengo al menos cien picaduras de un insecto que se ha mantenido oculto; todo en mí se pudre de humedad. Estaría agradecido si sólo fuese una pesadilla lo que me atormenta. Sobre la mesa apareció un insecto curioso, alargado como una lanza, antediluviano, con antenas a ambos lados de la extremada y fina prolongación delantera. No he podido descubrir si tenía ojos. Cargaba un insecto muerto igual a él y ha desaparecido entre las juntas del suelo de cortezas.
