Fall of life

Herzog's masterpiece, but we won't talk about Herzog today, nor about film art, only Kaspar. Fifteen years away from the world, he was utterly pure and ignorant, not knowing how to read and write, how to sit or walk, or even to fear. Curious, kind-hearted people, teach him, irrigate him, watch him, try to tame him. Most of us have been walking under this social rule for too long. What is good and what is bad seems to be easy to grasp, but also seems to be ignorant, it is difficult to explain, and the world is not black and white. But with Kaspar, everything seemed simpler. No logic, no faith, just inner voice. He has nothing but life, but isn't that enough? In the end, people tried to interpret his "deformity" physically, but Kaspar didn't interpret anyone psychologically. You can teach him, but he can choose not to believe. If you don't understand too many words, you can still write an autobiography, but not for anyone to read. Being different is never "deformed". I came here, is the biggest fall of life.

    Too lonely to share a personal consciousness. In the first half of his life, he was trapped in a cellar, and in the next few years he saw trampled cress and gooseberries, and swallowed tree frogs, but in his dreams he could see the mighty Caucasus Mountains. For the first time, the sting of the fire and the baby's body, Kaspar did not have any words, two lines of tears fell down. The barriers to communication that continue to emerge in the images are strong and real.

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser quotes

  • Kaspar Hauser: What are women good for?... Can you tell me that, Katy? Women are not good for anything but sitting still!

  • Professor Daumer: Kaspar, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

    Kaspar Hauser: It feels strong in my heart... The music feels strong in my heart... I feel so unexpectedly old...

    Professor Daumer: You've been such a short time in the world, Kaspar...

    Kaspar Hauser: Why is everything so hard for me? Why can't I play the piano like I can breathe?

    Professor Daumer: In the two short years you have been here with me, you have learned so much! The people here want to help you make up for lost time.

    Kaspar Hauser: The people are like wolves to me.

    Professor Daumer: No. You mustn't say that...
