For those of you who don't know about him or didn't read the article, Kaspar Hauser is a guy who mysteriously appeared in a German village at the age of about 19 or so, completely wild, unable to speak, but able to scrawl his name when given a piece of paper to write on. He was thought to be the crown prince of Germany, switched at birth with another child so that the line would die out and someone else could get the throne. It may be pretty minor, but I thought it would be interesting to know. Thanks for your most interesting posting, Ahree. Herzog uses these animals to reinforce Kasper Hauser's journey from wildness to civilization.
Horses are a central animal in the film.
Kasper is a part of the uncivilized animal kingdom. I am relatively new to this list so apologies for repeating anything that has already been discussed. Welcome to the list. But I think that this mailing list should be a real discussion and that we shouldn't bother wondering if what we want to talk about has already been discussed. Then when he grew up, a man helped him out.
