May 29, 2007The person who made this comment doesnt allow talk messages so I will just post a comment here because I have a strong opinion that I want to write somewhere.
"This film was shot beautifully. Unfortunately, that's the only good thing about it. The Christian overtones were terrible, the dialogue was rotten beyond all belief, and the film itself was unappealing and showed (unintentionally) just how awful it is when the white man completely robs the natives of their culture. Disgusting."
If you dont like movies with Christian overtones why watch a true story about missionaries!!! And again, if you dont like movies where ppl change the culture of natives why watch a true story about missionaries!!! What did you expect?
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest . -
