MTV has the exact clip from Werner Herzog’s upcoming POW film, “Rescue Dawn” that he showed those who lucky enough to see him speak back in late May. In it, Steve Zahn asks Christian Bale when he first knew he wanted to fly and his response is almost verbatim what the original Dieter Dengler said in the Herzog-helmed documentary “Little Dieter Learns To Fly” in which “Rescue Dawn,” is based upon.
Perhaps you’d have to have seen “Little Dieter” to appreciate this clip, but it’s so damn meta-cannabalizing it boggles and blows the mind.
