You poor thing.
Not only are you too deficient to appreciate this lovely bit of the filmmaker's art, you are also too jaded to reflect for even a moment upon how much better you have it than a starving arctic hunter-gatherer who's been pushed into a tighter and tighter corner by modern society.
Quit whining and get a life.

flaherty could get away with it in his era but no way could u get away with the misrepresentation of certain scenes nowadays!

A) This is hardly art. It is fakery plain and simple and should not have been classed as fact in any way, shape or form.
B) You do not need to be so rude when addressing somebody else. People will have differing opinions, just as I predict that my opinion listed above will not be a popular one. Your aggressive sarcasm was uncalled for.
C) Speaking as a person who is also writing an essay on it? This is boring as shit.
Thank you and good night.

a) The vast majority of those qualified to discern which films rise to the level of art would include Nanook on their list. Not every painting in the Met will excite you, but that does not disqualify them as art.

c) I bet you love one or two things I would find insufferably dull. But I know better than to call them "boring."
They are not boring; I am just bored by them. There is a difference.
I lack that certain appreciation that is required to enjoy football, for instance, but that doesn't take away all the talent, hard work and intelligence it takes to make a great football game.
Even a mediocre football game is an amazing creation. I may switch the channel but I would never blame the game.

Flaherty returned ...( 4 months ago by guiltyspark308)
Flaherty returned to create a sequel to find that Nanook and his family had died of starvation. People really do live like this, even today. It is far from fake,and a great example in sociology. It is a little boring, but it's interesting to see how this society lives without all the modern things we have.

Actually, most of the events in this film were staged. Nanook isn't his real name and that wasn't his real family. Furthermore, Flaherty insisted that Nanook go hunting with a harpoon... they had guns by that time. The ending, in which Nanook and his family are supposedly in peril of dying was implausible, as there were nearby French-Canadian and Inuit settlements. And finally, the igloo used in the movie was only half-built and the family is only pretending to sleep. This is'nt a documentary.

Yes it is a documentary. It is the first of its kind. The hunting methods, fishing methods, and igloo building were all accurate of how Allakariallak's ancestors lived. It is also interesting to note that Alllakariallak died of starvation 2 years after this film was made.

This is a 1 of the first featurelength forms of expository documentary. I personally think it is a wonderful film despite how constructed it was. Flaherty wanted the film 2 b entertaining 2 the white western society so it had 2 fit into the dominate ideology of the time; this being that all none white people were native, simple or childlike. This was paticularly shown in a later scene of Nanook biting the record. Of course this documentary was editing! It was just in a far more simplictic way.

What you mentioned is absolutely true, nevertheless, this was one of the only references they had from this, and even though Nanook -or whoever he is- was forced to do this documentary they were the only reference civilized people had from this place at this time, Flaherty tried to recuperate some ancient customs, however he was criticized by all anthropology community.

So is it true or false that Nanook died two years later after the completion of this film. Also - how do you know this was not Nanook's family? Thanks.
