Movie Reviews of The Emerald Forest
Movie Review: Love Powers Boothe and love the theme of this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie when it was first released and have since watched it many times over. I really love this movie primarily for its glimpse of, as the end of the movie states "they remember what we have forgotten". The tribe of Invisible People are truly a family and bond with each other. Their life in the forest is relaxed and loving towards each other, albeit tenuous because the "Dead World", aka civilization, is all around them and growing closer every day. They have a strong sense of spirituality and connection with the living world. They believe and SEE, what we as a society so often dismiss as backwards or primitive. If you want to see a thought provoking movie, this is one you must not miss.Movie Review: The True Tarzan
Summary: 5 Stars
This fact based story involves the abduction of a toddler from his parents at the edge of a Brazillian rainforest which is being quickly destroyed by the father's construction company. The parents search for many years to no avail while the boy is raised by the Indians. The boy matures and becomes a young man in the ritualistic ceremonies of the Indians. One day the father finds the boy and although they acknowledge each other the years have won the boys heart to the Indian life [and Indian girls]. When the girls are kidnapped by another tribe and sold to unscrupulous Americans to become prostitutes the father and son go into action. A mysterious ending caps off a really good adventure film.Movie Review: Lush, mesmerizing action
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this film for the past twenty years, I'll admit that I still have not grown tired of it. John Boorman's direction, true-to-the-heart performances, and the vivid photography--capturing the deepest beauty of the Amazon--combine together to make this all-too-real adventure as mesmerizing as it is. Powers Boothe plays a development engineer located in South America, with wife and children in tow, whose 10 year old son, Tommy, is abducted by a tribe of Amazon warriors. Boothe ensues on a 10 year hunt for Tommy, who has now acclimated to a whole new way of life. Wonderful combination of action, adventure, and even elements of drama. Give this quiet, underrated picture a watch.Movie Review: One of My All-Time Favorites!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have loved this movie since it came out. I have yet to order the DVD, but will soon. I have trouble with anyone not seeing the value in this film. Yes, you have to suspend disbelief in order to "get" it. But it is a spectacularly beautiful movie with great acting and many messages for the human soul, including that we are so much more than our technology. I have never tired of watching it in all these years, and doubt that I will in the future. If you have a heart, love nature and believe in the human spirit, you will love this film!Movie Review: The Emerald Forest (DVD)
Summary: 5 Stars
The long awaited film has finally arrived on DVD at last!
This Film is great, especially the 'scope' cinematography. John Boorman seems to have a fascination with dams & rivers in His films, (see Deliverance main titles). The actors portraying the tribe were excellent. The film score is Brilliant! Performed by Junior Homrich & Brian Gascoigne, and can be found on the Varèse Sarabande CD label, if Your lucky enough to find one as they are way out of print.
