is contradictory: I think he's referring to the overimportance of the adventure quality of making the film, you know, how the film about making "Apolcalypse Now" has become almost as known as the film itself.
Regarding digital: I'd agree with Herzog.
See that movie and you sense the realness of it. Now, watch "Private Ryan" or some other modern film--"Gladiator"--and it's clear that you're seeing a digital image. No matter how cleverly they try to disguise it, it looks phony as hell. I don't know it it's going to get much better, either, since it's been already quite some time without much improvement.
