Film Analysis: Emerald Forest
In the movie Emerald Forest there was a dam being built that in order for that to happen the builders needed to cut down many trees. Cutting down these trees and trapping the water caused the Emerald forest to get smaller and smaller there for forcing people who do not typically live together closer. The people building the dam did not see this as a problem because they themselves did not understand the ways of these indigenous people. The tribes such as the Fierce ones and the Invisible people did not get along at all and there was bound to be trouble if they had to live together in close quarters. So the dam being built meant that the invisible peoples whole cultural was about to change to something they were not ready for. We see that they

    Dual Characters In Louise Erdrich's Tracks

    Many had to adapt to a new way of living and others didn’t want to change at all. The natives mostly wanted their sacred land. Fleur and Nanapush, both share to strive to preserve the old traditional ways on their culture. They want their old traditional tracks exactly where they are. “Land is the only thing that lasts life to life’’ (Erdrich, 33). Land will be passed on to their families from generation to generation. Land lasts forever material items and money seems to diminish over time. Land is very sacred and free until white men started taking over and claiming it. The white settlers would take advantage of these natives by having them sign off their land on documents. “Some signed their land away with thumbs and crosses” (Erdrich, 99). Very few natives were uneducated so they would sign papers letting white settlers take over their possessions. It was hard to make some money when there was only a minimum of resources to come by. Tribal members made their money off game animals and hides. White settlers believe that natives needed to pay for the land they lived on. An agent that works for the government was selling the land Fleur and her family lived on to the Turcot Lumber Company. The reason their land was being sold was, because Eli’s younger brother was entrusted with the money Eli gave him to pay off the land he lived on. Instead he used the money to…

    The Revenant Film Analysis

    Stunning scenes of landscapes, trees, and clouds fill the scenes of The Revenant. Snow fills the open-void of the wilderness and sunlight bleeds through the spaces between the tall, dark trees. The camera mainly focuses on Hugh Glass as he attempts to take his revenge upon John Fitzgerald, who murdered Hugh’s son. The camera pans smoothly during calm shots of vistas and nature, while the camera rapidly shakes during the intense attacks of the Native Americans. Rivers flow smoothly, and in some shots, Hugh’s fearful, beaten face fills the frame as he struggles to evade the threats of Native Americans. The contrasting nature of the scenes in The Revenant is effective in immersing the viewers in the environment, portraying a message of conservation, and developing a captivating, simplistic storyline.…

    Spencer's Dispossessing the Wilderness: Response

    When thinking about the Social History involved in Dispossessing the Wilderness, the Civil war comes to mind up. Spencer writes that prior to the war the Americans and Indians tensions were okay. The Americans saw Indians and the wilderness as one. He mentions that it wasn’t until “after” the civil war started that the Americans and Indians tensions rose. This was due to many numerous frontier battles that occurred along the great western planes. It was after this time that the Americans started to view the Indians as “evil savages”. Here we are introduced to the concept of perception and how that alters social history.…

    The Emerald Forest Last Final Midterm 7

    "The Emerald Forest" is a true story that illustrates unity, strength and incorporeality. The film is based on a young boy named Tommy, who was abducted by a tribe in the Amazon called “The Invisible People”. His dad, Bill Markham spends 10 years searching for him, until they meet by chance one day while Tommy was evading the "Fierce People". The “Fierce People” also dwelled in the Amazon, and were the Invisible People's enemies. When Tommy was finally able to bring his father to safety, he declares his refusal to return to his original family and civilization, claiming that he had become a member of the Invisible People. Bill is left in utter disbelief and resorts to the chief of the tribe to order Tommy to return home. The chief calmly responds by saying: “If I told a man to do what he does not want to do, I would no longer be chief." His statement demonstrates that a true leader leads by example and not by command, which ultimately reinforces his people’s loyalty because they are given the freedom to be who they wish to be. ["This admission gets to the very heart of the difference between "primitive" society and our own" (Proyect).]…

    The Emerald Forest

    “The Emerald Forest” is a movie produced by John Boorman in 1985 and based on a true story in the Brazilian Rainforest. The film is a about Tommy, a young boy, quickly and silently taken away by a tribe in the Amazon called, The Invisible People. His dad then, spends 10 years searching for him and eventually succeeds after running into a war party with another tribe called, The Fierce People -enemies of the invisible people- who pursue him. They finally meet by chance, but the boy refuses to go back to his original family and civilization and explains that he belongs to the forest now. The father couldn't understand the choice made by Tommy and asks the chief of the tribe to order the boy to return with him. Then, the chief says : “If I told a man to do what he does not want to do, I would no longer be chief.” This statement means that the chief always agrees with whatever the members of his tribe plan to do, he simply respects their choices. That's the difference between these “primitive” society and our own. For example, in Morocco, it is normal for the state or even your teacher to order you for everything and around every day of your life. Authority is always respected and people are generally more quiet and reserved around their superiors. They will not be upfront or direct with those above them. However, in some cases, it could have meetings and people may debates and speak over with their bosses. Compared to the authority structure of the invisibles, their chief behaves as a counselor, does give advices instead of orders. In my society, the government has the power to command and doesn't care about wishes, wants and opinions of its community. And if we try to make a list of the differences and similarities between the invisibles and us, we will end up hating the system of our life. The Invisibles are peaceful people who live isolated and don't have contact with globalised civilization. Their have their…

    The Glass Menagerie Film Analysis

    The Glass Menagerie is a play of a family who is incredibly unstable. The play is about many other things, however the childlike minds of the main characters are a main point of the film. Each character of the film is caught within their own fantasy. Their inability to stay in reality hurts each character differently. Restoration is not actually attained in this film, however there was a desire from the mother, Amanda, for restoration. This movie is not a good depiction of restoration because no restoration actually takes place. A simple definition of restoration is putting things back to the way they were. Laura has always been aloof and crippled, and Tom never seemed to be interested in the reality in front of him so there is nothing to put back. Amanda is however trying to recreate her youth through the many reminiscing’s of her past the forcing of Laura to get gentlemen callers, and the nagging of Tom to stay home are Amanda’s way of trying to seek restoration. Although incredibly flawed, Amanda does try her best for the people she loves, Tom and Laura. Her feeble attempts at restoration only show that care that she has for her family even though her the way she shows it is flawed.…
