I would counter recommend this - I couldn’t make it through it on Netflix.
It seemed like the director had no idea what he was talking about and a lot of the interviewees were non technical people that said things that made no sense (actually no sense - indistinguishable from words strung together to sound profound that were actually meaningless).
On first viewing, I too felt it was incomprehensible wordsoup in some sense - but upon learning more about Nelson and the history and context around which his ideas were developed, I've grown to find this interview almost magical.
I would counter that counter recommendation. One has to keep in mind that this is still a Werner Herzog creation - and he's quite an eccentric guy. Think "40% David Lynch".
This movie was done by non-technical people for non-technical people. When I started to look at this from this point of view - it became really enjoyable.
To me that makes it even worse
- rather than teach how something that seems magical to a non-technical person came to be, it just reinforces the idea that it’s not understandable.
