The two films last week seemed to be from very different ends of the spectrum. The first film I found to be very interesting although it did seem to get a bit tedious by the end. What was being shown in the film seemed to get repetitive. The screening left me a confused though. I was unsure whether or not to feel bad for the people of the tribe. They lacked all of our modern technology, yet seemed content with their way of life and probably would not be able to function in a society such as the one we live in today. This led me to wonder if I should feel bad for us and all of the stuff we have that seems so important and gets in the way. Many shots of the tribe showed older members as well as young children spending a lot of time together and I got the impression that they were much more family oriented. Women doing work had their child strapped to their back as they did their chores. It just reminds me how unnecessary a lot of what we have today is. Granted our life style is much more comfortable, it was a strong reminder that a lot of it is highly unnecessary.
