Humans are great

I have said on more than one occasion that watching a movie is watching other people’s lives, documentaries, whether they are staged or not, especially when watching them build houses with ice and snow, bricks are ice, cement is snow, thinking that they live in a completely different place from us. The world is so cold. . I've been so cold these days that I'm going crazy, and I'm still in Guangzhou. . I just feel that these people are too awesome, and their ancestors don't know why they chose to live there. Is it also a temporary romantic feeling?

I am very grateful that we can still see movies from nearly a hundred years ago. I have watched this movie on and off for a long time. It is one of the 1001. Movies in the silent film era are really interesting, but they are not suitable for people in today's impetuous life.

Nanook of the North quotes

  • Title Card: The most desired of all meat is that of seal. It affords the maximum of warmth and sustenance. The "blubber-eating Eskimo" is a misconception. Blubber they use as we use butter.

  • 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.
