In Herzog's latest documentary, we delve deep into the concepts of life and death through the eyes of a small town in Texas.
Into the Abyss tells the tale of two asshole kids, that kill 3 innocent people in order to steal a new car, and the effects that their horrible crime has on the community. Like all of Herzog's films,
Into the Abyss is really smart and really slow. And really easy on the eyes. By that I mean that it looks fucking beautiful. Also, Herzog's narration is super witty as per usual. One thing I want to know is how Herzog decides what he's going to make a documentary about. It's always something oddly specific and seemingly random. Like that one about that midget town. This was a genuinely interesting documentary with an approachable yet brutal topic, and I'm not just saying that because I love watching documentaries about murder. Or maybe I am. The two main ballsacks in this movie remind me just how lucky I am to have been born of two loving, intelligent parents and in a major city. Both Michael Perry and Jason Burkett are terrible people that are made even more terrible by the fact that they don't realize just how terrible they are. Terrible. One thing that I don't understand, and never have, is how these fuckbags can turn to religion and think that they're still getting into Heaven even though they've committed one of the worst sins on the list. I mean, murder is pretty high up there, if not the highest, on the list of things that you can't do if you want to get in. It's either murder or rape. But anyway, this movie is also great for dads! I saw it with my dad and we both thoroughly enjoyed it and made fun of the stupid people in it afterwards. So if you can't find anyone to see it with, have your pops take you. Dads love Herzog!
