Werner Herzog Doesn’t Like Sex Scenes, Either

Werner Herzog sees you, Gen Z: He doesn’t like sex scenes, either.

As frisky service vanishes from Hollywood displays, the traditional filmmaker shares the youngest moviegoing generation’s abhorrence for “indiscreet” series dedicated to movie, informing Piers Morgan today that “if you really want to see a sex scene, just watch porno films.”

Herzog signed up with “Piers Morgan Uncensored” for a varied meeting that included his ideas on terminate society (“it has changed the climate on movie sets in a good way … women are much more respected”), wokeness (“it has its excesses”) and onscreen sex.

“When you look at productions in Hollywood now, if you have, for example, a scene where the leading character, the young lovers have to kiss each other, you have to engage an ‘intimacy consultant,’” Herzog claimed. “Okay, so those are the excesses and those are the stupidities. Much of it comes basically down to human behavior and intimacy on screen. What is decent human behavior?”

Herzog claimed it’s never ever been a concern on his collections– due to the fact that in all his years of making movies, he never ever when fired a sex scene.

“I was never confronted with this question because in all my films that I have made, there’s not a single sex scene,” he claimed. “And there’s not a, I think only once or twice in films of mine, a couple is kissing but fleetingly, really. … I think on a screen, there’s a certain discretion. I don’t like that when a screen in the movies or on your TV or wherever becomes too indiscreet where boundaries of humanness are somehow transgressed.”

Morgan additionally asked Herzog if Hollywood is “going down a perilous route when it tries to tick too many diversity boxes before it even makes a movie? Or do you think that is a healthy progression?”

“I’m not the judge of Hollywood, and I’m not the judge of other filmmakers,” Herzog reacted. “But of course, excesses are visible, and the pendulum will swing back. And it will settle in a much more healthy way than we see it right now. Don’t worry too much about it. It’s very ephemeral. The general tendency is right, and excesses forget about them. They will be the laughing stock of tomorrow.”
