Movie Reviews of The Emerald Forest
Movie Review: Useful in the search of indigenous identity
Summary: 5 Stars
I've shown this film over and over to indigenous groups in Panama, as it conveys extremely well how the spiritual world of american indians is unknown to western-eurocentric cultures, and taught as "savage" or "un-civilized" to indians who end up convinced that their culture has no value. In a world where indians behold some of the keys to the planet's las chance of survival, this film is a good way to restore indigenous culture's place of honor.
Movie Review: Emeral Forest: An Amazonian Tale
Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently seen Apocalypto, I thought I was seeing a remake. The Emerald Forest is an outstanding view of what may be happening to native tribes in our rain forests. But like Apocalypto, it reminds us that any contact between civilizations can be dangerous and destroy developing peoples. I would strongly invite anyone to see both these movies. They are not gentle to the heart, but they carry a strong message.Movie Review: A good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is about a little boy who wandered off into the jungle one day while his father wasn't looking, and ended up being raised by a tribe of people living in the jungle. He later rediscovers his father when he's around 18, and the two of them decide that family is worth more than money or jobs. My personal favorite part is when the boy goes to his father's room in a skyscraper- by climbing up the outside!Movie Review: We truly need a Blu Ray of this fine film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a truly great film on many levels- most of which have already been explored on prior reviews--
My main reason to add to the list is to encourage others to add their voices to requesting a Blu Ray of this fine film-- it is remarkably beautiful; To another end and amplifying on a prior comment, more information on the true Invisibles of the Rain Forest would most certainly be appreciated !
Movie Review: staying power
Summary: 5 Stars
Most movies aren't as good as I remember but this one truly is. I first saw it years ago on VHS. Recently ordered a DVD for my collection. I really hated to pause it. Very engrossing. Great music too. More than an adventure film, it's about family, spirituality, and desecration of the environment. The nudity is tasteful and natural. Ordered a second copy for a family member.
