It was made in Africa, and is a comedy that keeps me in stitches nearly for the whole film. It's required viewing for some NGO orientations before volunteering in "3rd world" nations. <br /><br />Apocalypto, The New World, Dances with Wolves, and The Emerald Forest depict kinship society vs. the Civilized invaders.<br /><br />The Blue Lagoon is an old back-to-nature classic.<br /><br />Office Space, Fight Club, and American Beauty are cynical commentary on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluenza" rel="nofollow">affluenza</a> and America's life-sucking Corposoviet hierarchy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-61737193509714631432012-05-05T18:32:54.881-04:002012-05-05T18:32:54.881-04:00Why thank you, Mr. Hicks!

The fact is that any movement that doesn't understand the implications of peak oil and resource depletion is built on a foundation of sand anyway.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, I encourage you to make a submission to Kathleen at Painted Fire sometime. You're a very good, passionate writer of the type I think she is looking for. Tell her I recommended you. :)Bill Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551954408189665078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-24669115744446539522012-05-05T17:27:08.828-04:002012-05-05T17:27:08.828-04:00Let them go.
