you'd probably enjoy the kooky 1980's japanese documentary "the emperor's naked army marches on," if you haven't seen it yet:

it's about a japanese guy who blames his commanding officers during a campaign in new guinea in WWII for the death of his friends, and he goes around finding them and demanding that they admit their guilt, and if they don't, he beats them up. it's a strange combination of zealotry and autism.

If it's anything like one of my all-time favorites, the kooky and heartwarming 1980s anti-war film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence...
...then it sounds absolutely 180 (gorgeous Japan, and thank you my gorgeous pumo brother for the recommendation).
In return, a kooky modern Japanese film, in case you've never heard of it:
Tokyo Sonata (2008), about trying to maintain one's human dignity amid the relentless and dehumanizing advance of borderless androgynous Globohomo:

This blew my mind, ty my pumo brother.
It made me think of both Herzog (of course, given the title of the thread) and also Kurosawa in terms of the extremely earnest approach to everything - commitment to principle at any cost, which seems insane on one hand…
…and yet also made me feel ashamed for all the times I’ve bent my principles out of either laziness or fear, perhaps thereby losing a bit of my soul in the process, to paraphrase John Denver.

i prefer nat'l geographic's documentary on the history of the internet. it's a bit shorter and free.
