Herzog is a director whose work with action cinema is extreme to the extent it divides into two obsessive themes of sublime and heroic action. There is an hallucinatory and an hypnotic dimension. For example, in Herzog's "Heart of Glass" a Bavarian landscape is home to the hypnotic creation of a glass ruby that then transforms into hallucinatory landscapes where Large is realized compared to the Small represented by the incapable dwarves that are no longer visionaries but idiot weaklings. The Small and Large communicate in the interchange symbolized by Herzog's depiction of the albatross' big feet as the same as its great wings.
