      Live like a primitive

      There is no doubt that the director of this work is a conservationist. Many conceptual techniques are used in the film to show how good life is close to nature, how ugly the city and the destruction of nature are. Although it seems a bit blunt to express a concept with a lot of photos and music rendering, the natural life of girls and boys in this film still attracts me.

      It was the beginning of love, the shyness of the girl and the agility of the boy, and the attractiveness between...

      Civilization and barbarism

      A pair of sisters and brothers from modern civilized society roam in the arid wilderness, and a black-skinned aboriginal from primitive tribal society has established a relationship that transcends language with the brothers and sisters during this endless wandering. This kind of story and character combination has obvious directivity. Although the whole watching process is attracted by the big long legs of the sister, the rich content of the film has not been suppressed....

      Related metaphors

      I don't know why, the Chinese names of many movies are quite unreliable (not translated), such as this "WALKABOUT". I think of another movie "GERRY" that I have seen before, which was translated as "Rinny Goes in the Desert". Buy it!
          The reason why I mentioned the "GERRY" is because I just watched this "Adventure" for a while and I couldn't help but think of "Jerry" and it felt very similar. In fact, I don't think this is just an environmental theme, or some stories about survival in...

      What time is it

      The father at the beginning of the movie should not shoot his son, because the son stood still and the father had enough time to aim at the shot. The father did not shoot the son, but turned to the side of the rock. The second time, it clearly shot at the soil which was still quite a distance away from the stone wall. Inaccurate marksmanship? That's too ridiculous. However, the father’s motive for shooting, making a joke? It's definitely not justified. Anyway, I can't figure out why I shot....

      Miss Brother Wasteland Almanac-Civilization is a high hat

      Filmed in 1971, "Miss Brothers Wasteland Almanac" seems to be a life experience of the two younger brothers in the wilderness with indigenous people, but it is actually a spiritual contest between modern society and primitive nature. In terms of shooting technique, the life of the indigenous people is described through the form of imitation documentary, which enhances the realism of the film, coupled with the conversion of real life shots, successfully draws the audience's attention to the...

      I don’t think watching this film by means of filming, just look at the simplicity of the aborigines and the ruthlessness of the white farm employers in terms of human nature. It makes people reflect on watching this kind of film in the context of Australia. I really like...

      Indigenous people and their sisters swim naked in natural river water. In a barren land far away from modern civilization, the naked body will not stimulate sexual desire and possessiveness while approaching the true state. On the other side, the scientific expedition team of one woman and many men was bored under the scorching sun. All the men's eyes were focused on the woman's breasts and thighs. This beautiful royal sister, who looked to be in her 30s, had blonde hair and was dressed in a...
