The game between man and nature

The Nanook family and their partners live on Baffin Island, which is extremely cold, winds blowing all day long, and uninhabited.

On the cold sea ice sheet, the Ekismo used various hunting techniques to capture their prey, and they knew how to cooperate in groups, because only cooperation can survive in such a harsh environment. When the Ekismos hunt, some people will sigh: Too cruel. But compassionate compassion is useless in such circumstances, which is required by the laws of...

An awesome pioneering work

Such old movies are rarely seen, because people who are accustomed to the current mode of watching movies always have a repulsive magnetic field for old movies, because these old movies are always praised by people and many do not have gorgeous special effects. , there is no color, no voice lines, subtitles can not be synchronized with the picture, but often looking back at these movies, you will find that the production methods and ideas in them are very valuable and worth pursuing....

Carefully structured interesting narrative

——A brief comment on the narrative method of "Nanuk of the North"
as the originator of the documentary, maybe Flaherty did not have the intention, so many of the principled things of the documentary have not been able to persist in his works. However, this black-and-white silent film released in 1922 is still very interesting, and we have to admit its success. However, in my opinion, the most exciting part of the film is its narrative. The following author will briefly analyze how "Nanuk...

Since the Eskimo picked up the shotgun

In the arctic region of the Arctic, there lives a group of creatures that are even more beasts than beasts. They are called Eskimos. They have a lifestyle similar to that of polar bears. The only advantage is that they are more adaptable, and there are compatriots overseas waiting for them to trade polar bear and arctic fox fur for daggers.
    In the introduction of the note, it said that "the tenacious struggle between human beings and nature", "the epic of a hero" and so on. But when I...

north

The joys and sorrows in the movie are the most moving, because the movie has to produce good results in a short period of time, and the power of love is also great.

The framing of the film is excellent, especially its close-up shots, which bring out the inner world of everyone vividly.
This movie is full of betrayal and pain, but in front of love, these are all insignificant. Only love is great, and love can help us overcome everything.
This movie made me feel a lot,...

The teacher reminded us: At that time, there were no definitions and rules for documentaries! He does not and does not call himself an anthropologist, but his tenacity and courage to enter the field, as well as his enthusiasm and curiosity about another culture, are the qualities that an anthropologist should...

I don’t know how terrifying its origin is when I watch the film. I was deeply deceived by the shooting and the tragedy behind it. In terms of quality, this picture about a hundred years ago is not much different from today’s documentary, but after a friend told me, I learned that the tragedy that happened to the Nanuk family because of participating in the filming made the patience and order in the picture unworthy. Mention. The Nanuk family doesn't need this movie, but the world needs it to...

It can be clearly seen from the film that many scenes are staged. After this criticism is removed, it is still a very magical film, the "real" embodiment of the life scenes of the Nanuk family, and the originator of the...
