eskimo be a serious movie about the cultural chasm between an indigenous population and the encroach white man . although film in a documentary style seemingly with non professional and eskimo be a skilled production that contain a believable story the audience will want to see through to the final shot . the native eskimo simply have different belief and behavior about woman and life than do the whaler that darken his landscape . when an eskimo man lose his mate and it be natural that other men share their woman with their friend . it be also usual for their woman to want to take the place of the miss spouse . all of this seem natural in the context of the desolate foreboding arctic setting . the trust eskimo fall prey to unscrupulous white whaler ( with heavy european accent ) that do not view these native a their equal . deceit and drunken orgy and rape and and death occur after the eskimo men depart for work on the icy cold sea . eventually the lead eskimo ( mala ) realize that he have be dupe and he take his revenge . the audience would have cheer in the 1930 theater . enter the royal canadian mount police and the moral dilemma of whether to bring back mala for trial . the mountie be play a feel policeman that know this be not a cut and dry case . will the mountie get their man . be it fair to hold mala to a code of behavior outside of his traditional society . be there a way out that do not punish mala . be it inevitable that the white man law must prevail . be there no hope for innocence . this be not a great movie and but one that you will enjoy for the depth of the issue address in a very different setting . i suspect that the filming of the sequence with animal be do before today disclaimer that none be injure in the making of the film so beware of the raw nature sequence . highly recommended .
