There is no purpose of seeking curiosity, but to a certain extent, it takes advantage of people's curiosity, that is, peeping at another so-called "simple and innocent" way of life, and consumers yearn for returning to the basics in the context of the industrialized environment. I don't deny the creator's "starting point of romanticizing nature. At that time, it was good not to treat primitive people as monsters in front of the camera." The story has gone a step further by simply "shooting it down". The ending of Nanook is fully explained before the beginning of the film, which is enough to prove that the creator is at least sincere to Nanook ("The people who have seen the film and the stones in the river" As much”), the commentary focuses on creating personal feelings and shaping characters, and more subjectively expounds the relationship between man and nature. The story is also there, like introducing a group of friends. The audio-visual whole is trying to be true without whitewashing. A single scene The expressiveness of the film is in place, the material is integrated in an orderly manner, and the arrangement is expressed under a unified framework, and the ability to create empathy is very strong. Until I understand the background story, Nanook can even help the director repair the camera... ...then the reality of this "played" is definitely not objective, with all kinds of posing, scenes full of calculations, and even the suspicion of taking them to introduce a travel show to the audience.
So after synthesizing all parties, my point of view is more inclined to this is a documentary for a specific group of people, how much simulation of reality is acceptable to you.
In today's era full of Ding Zhen and Li Ziqi, this question is thrown to everyone. The significance of this film is not limited to film history. Whether you can accept him or not depends on you. I can't accept it very much, but I am sure it The significance, quality and value, so give it four stars.
