    The mysterious race of the mysterious land, rubbing the tip of the nose is a way of kissing, the frozen sea becomes a vast ice field, and the walrus is a tiger in the Arctic. Sure enough, the husky is the best dog in the world. Under the black and white lens, the panoramic close-up alternates, creating enough visual tension to make the audience keep asking what happened.

    About the death of the protagonist in the film

    What's interesting is that "Nanook missed the hunting season because of assisting the filming of the director, which eventually caused the family/tribe to starve to death." This little-known text with a cruel background seems to only exist in the Chinese world. The opening intertitle stated that...

Nanook of the North quotes

  • Title Card: Landing at the white man's "big igloo" - - the trading post.

  • Title Card: In deference to Nanook, the great hunter, the trader entertains and attempts to explain the principle of the gramophone - - how the white man "cans" his voice.
