this film be nice a a step out of the usual background or setting for movie . and whilst it be in the main part shot in rain forest and it be most certainly not bore in any way . i notice there have be comment by others about certain mystical aspect in the film be too far fetched and but i can assure they be not . follow this and it be quite understandable that if someone watch this and have a limited understanding of reality and the mind they may find certain aspect of the film slightly frustrating and or or overly convenient to be true . an example here be the art of merge with spirit who take on certain archetypal form and such a an eagle or leopard . these be very ancient shamanic method use to attain knowledge and power and healing ability and be not a crazy load of make up stuff by the director . i have personally have many similar experience to some in the film example represent once some way through a year long shamanic training and i lay on my bed and merge with a spirit and find myself a the form of an eagle ( a be usual with this spirit ) . i have ask the spirit to take me to a gorgeous girl i have meet in london a few week before and a i regret never ask for her phone number after have to rush for a train . i find myself fly above london and eventually land in leicester square where the spirit tell me i should go . i finish the journey and leave my house and get on the train and go to leicester square . the first person i talk to ( a guy do the charity stuff on the street ) turn out to be one of the flat mate of the girl . einstein say co incidence be god way of remain anonymous . the point of this story be that the mystical stuff in emerald forest be factual . and it be not confine to rainforest and but in fact can be and be use in modern city ha ha and not just to save tribe but sometimes god willing to get girlfriend . then also the idea that sickness ( in the film case and a severe fever from enemy tribal poison ) and can be suck out of someone in it elemental energetic form this be also ancient practise which traditionally one be merge with a helpful spirit to gain powerful protection beforehand a be demonstrate in the film . all the mystical stuff be indeed actually down to earth and factual and to be embrace . and this be one particular thing which bring beautiful harmony to the enchant forest it be not just down to earth because of it set and because of good actor and act or because of a good story but because it have not be afraid to remain true to another part of life and inherent in the film setting and culture . that which perhaps seem overly mystical to the average western mind . for me it seem nothing have be leave out of the film and as often be the case in order to meet the wish of studio and who only care about their profit and not the wealth of the film itself a a branch of art . bear in mind that the whole film be base on a true story and really how can you go wrong . adventurous and beautiful scenery and good acting and good character and base on true story and unusual spiritual element and emotional and action plus a good eco message leave you wish the whole world would watch it . enjoy .
