I...That kayak scene was funny, I had forgotten it!<br /><br />I like that Flaherty took interest in th people he met, even if it lead to fictionising of some parts of his film. He doesn't look down on them as 'noble savages,' but truly believes they are intelligent, brave people, and wanted to show others.

Scott did it, Knud Rasmussen did it and all those African expeditions brought footage home of wildlife and exotique natives. Flaherty was simply better than most and less impressed with his own expedition, leaving more interest on the natives.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.com
