Nanook of the North Comments

In the video version of Oriental Chronicle from the European and American perspectives, Nanook cuts the ice window, and uses three cuts to shorten the time to express the ice extraction process. So far, I should not have seen the same editing method earlier than this. Flaherty watched the family make igloos, hunt walruses, hunt seals, reluctant walrus companions with curious eyes. The slightly sad soundtrack presents a relatively complete time of wrestling with seals (from the perspective of...

The first feature-length documentary, Robert Flaherty, the father of documentary, used a lot of artificially staged methods to "real" show the life of the Inuit, the wife of the Inuit Nanuk is actually Fla. Played by Hardy's wife, Nanook still uses a harpoon to hunt walruses under the director's command, and eats the phonograph film as a flatbread. In fact, he has already learned how to use a shotgun and knows what a phonograph is for. Although there are so many artificially processed footage,...

The pioneering work of Vlahadi, the father of documentary films. Vlahadi spent 16 months traveling to the North Pole to live with Nanuk, an Eskimo, perfectly recreating the original life scenes with a camera. Although there has been a debate about whether the film is a documentary or not, there is no doubt that this film is still a milestone in the history of documentary. It not only created an anthropological documentary genre that uses images to record society, but also a brilliant world...

[Second Brush] The use of real-shot materials and part of the rehearsal content to organize a quasi-classic adventure narrative, although it has never declared its identity as a "documentary" at that time, but as the beginning of a documentary that is ratified by later generations, it seems to herald the birth of the documentary. Ethical issues that follow like shadows—Grierson's criticism of Flaherty's "Neo-Rousseauism" and "individualism" is not a problem, and the presentation of "standard...

So many cute dogs! Thank you dog for always accompany and help human beings in the survival and growth of human beings! Dogs are the best! Absolute truth cannot exist under the witness of another person. Since the camera will make the subject self-conscious anyway, why bother to argue whether there is a performance component? On the contrary, there was no camera in front of it when it happened, and now it is closer to reality by "reproducing" it in the form of performance. However, the cost of...

The teacher reminded us: At that time, there were no definitions and rules for documentaries! He does not and does not call himself an anthropologist, but his tenacity and courage to enter the field, as well as his enthusiasm and curiosity about another culture, are the qualities that an anthropologist should...

Vivid... This is the rarest movie viewing experience in recent years. That acceptance of a whole new world was originally an important function of...

In the short comment, many people say that the posing is serious, but I didn't care. I am totally attracted by Nanuk's daily life! ! It's really amazing! Amazing! Many questions arose during the viewing process. For example, would Eskimos not get snow blindness? How did they respond? Eskimos don’t catch a cold, right? What disease replaces a cold? How did Nanuk recognize the direction and remember his own "Irug"? (Can't Lu Chi survive a day?) The sled dogs stay in the wild with the squally wind...
