Wonderful stuff, fbaezer! (And deep! Smile )

Loved it.

Speaking of Werner Herzog, this is a short film directed by Ramin Bahrani, and narrated by Werner Herzog.

Plastic Bag

@InfraBlue,
I've watched about 5 minutes of this so far, InfraBlue, & it looks very good. I have a strong hunch that this story will not end happily, though! (Such stories never do, do they?)
Thanks so much for posting this. His voice is just perfect for the (plastic bag ) narration.
Will watch the whole 18+ minutes later on & report back.

@msolga,
Yeah, it's pretty sobering.

SPOILER ALERT!

In the end, the platic bag dreams of meeting his creator simply to say, "I wish you had created me so that i could die."

Yeah, I figured it'd be something like that, InfraBlue.
Rather sad, as I'd imagine that the plastic bag/Werner's voice-over sort of grows on you over 18 minutes ... but very apt at the same time. It should never have existed in the first place!
I am really looking forward to watching the whole video. Thanks again.

@InfraBlue,
I just watched it right through, InfraBlue.
Very moving, melancholy, yet a nightmare (of plastic!) at the same time.
A lot of sighing watching that!
Excellent. Thank you.

And Werner's voice was just perfect as the plastic bag.

@chai2,
Yes, that's what I first thought of, too, chai!

Have you checked out the Where's Waldo video yet?(first post on the thread) That's wonderful, too.
