one of my all time favorite jungle movie . i first hear about this movie when i be live down south and a friend of mine mention it to me . a local tv station at that time and late 1980s and be try to have it block for some reason . i never do get to see it at that time . a year later and a girlfriend of mine at the time tell me about the movie and how much she love it and so i tell her what have happen in that little town down south . she would tell me that be stupid the move be awesome and if i ever get the chance to see it . two year later and back in new york and i come across the movie for sale in a video store and snatch it up think i have to see what all this be about . i wasn not disappoint . however and for a short while after view the movie the fist time around and i do keep an eye out for large snake hang out in tree whenever i go hike or cannon . . . lazaro and after loose his father look out for big snake and later his mother and live alone in the jungle for a short while . the villager down the river eventually come to call him the dolphin boy and because he often see swim with dolphin and they even believe he can become one and swim away if in danger . later lazaro be catch by fisherman and take to a church and that when the story take a twist turn that i find very interesting and thoughtful . i do get a kick out of watch them try and give the jungle boy a hair cut or make him wear sneaker . and there be one scene where lazaro want to share a snack he catch with his new friend that i find both funny and touch . for some reason this story touch something deep inside me and i have love it ever since . visually it be very please with lush jungle and the contrasting open mine pit look like gap wound in the garden of eden . the young actor ( brother ) who play lazaro be very convince in their portrayal of a child of the rain forest and very well act and believable and and a other have point out and very stunning look . it would be great if they make more movie like this one . . . but a someone have already mention and movie like this come along maybe once ever ten or so year .
