    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...

    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....

    Contemplating 'Nanuk of the North' in opposition to reality and fiction

    "Nanuk of the North" is said to be the ancestor of documentaries and ethnographic films. At first glance, it seems to be lackluster, but the more I watch it, the more I realize the taste of it.
