this movie supposedly send an environmental message and and that certainly true and but if you look closely it really a fig leaf ( like one of those little flap on a string that constitute the sole bit of clothe wear by the villager ) for an updated tarzan movie . that say and this movie be tremendous entertainment . it be excite almost all the way through . and when it slow and there be lot of cute teenage girl in the altogether to gaze at . in fact and there a demographically striking abundance of teenage girl in this particular tribe . favorite scene represent during the courtship ritual and tomme be give a club and be suppose knock out his girl in front of the villager and then carry her off into the forest . she cowers . he hesitate and wave the club around . she glare at him and whisper and do it right . so he hit her and she make a show of be knock out . the whole courtship ritual be beautifully stag . i can not attest to it authenticity and but it perfectly clear a he defend her from menace dude and refuse to be carry off by the other girl and etc . the sheer enthusiasm portray be remarkable . power boothe and play a dam engineer and make a dashing trader horn type . he have a great scene when he wake up in the village only to see his son and tomme and sleep peaceful and embrace his girl and both practically nude in the next hammock . the expression that run across his face be priceless . the fierce people live up to their name and but i be dubious that people who live in nature can be so infected with violence . i learn something . you can climb a high rise by wrap vine around your foot . who know . the dam business at the end be totally righteous and but and really and pretty preposterous . and how about that shot of the eagle in flight . take from about two foot away . pretty neat . terrific hollywood movie . you bet . werner herzog . not so much .
