Nanook of the North

Then there's Nanook of the North.
I only watched a little bit.
The kind of thing that grabs people - it's always the people themselves.
The very first shot just won me over - Nanook, smiling very shyly and very naturally.
kind of vivid. Very mysterious.
(The funniest thing is that I think he looks a lot like my producer.)
I've never been a fan of civilized people's curiosity about people they find uncivilized,
but this movie doesn't.
Otherwise, how do you take on the word "great"?

Documentary, not without plot.
Life is all about plot.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, human beings survive under the laws of nature.
More intimidating than I imagined.

Nanook of the North quotes

  • Title Card: The shrill piping of the wind, the rasp and hiss of driving snow, the mournful wolf howls of Nanook's master dog typify the melancholy spirit of the North.

  • Robert Flaherty, Director: At last, in 1920, I thought I had shot enough scenes to make the film, and prepared to go home. Poor old Nanook hung around my cabin, talking over films we still could make if I would only stay on for another year. He never understood why I should have gone to all the fuss and bother of making the "big aggie" of him. Less than two years later I received word that Nanook had ventured into the interior hoping for deer and had starved to death. But our "big aggie" become "Nanook of the North" has gone into most of the odd corners of the world, and more men than there are stones around the shore of Nanook's home have looked upon Nanook, the kindly, brave, simple Eskimo.
