The Emerald Forest/The Lord of the Flies (DVD, 2006, 2-Disc Set; Double Feature)

I saw this movie once years ago and it was one of those you never forget. I relate so much to how this kind of thing could happen and with the exception of the destruction of the rain forest(their home) what an absolute perfect way for a kid to grow up into manhood, the way all Indians were raised, a very realistic life, they learn to hunt, fight, become invisible, all for survival, or they didn't survive, it was as simple as that. Ninety percent of the population will not know how survive ot even have the desire to put forth the effort if we were put in a life or death situation for any reason, they would not kill another person even to protect their family. Hardline liberals, over the years, have destroyed a generation of people from birth by being passivist. So this movie left it's mark on me, even having seen it so many years ago, I am sixty now but love to hunt, not to kill everything that moves but to have the best meat possible for us, I have been an elk guide in Montana for over twenty years now, didn't get started until I was fourty and couldn't afford to go on a hunt so went out to learn to work just so I could be in the rocky mountains, I still feel eighteen and having been with the same man who taught me what I know about hunting in the mountains, survival or how to if I should be put in a situation where I might need it for my hunters and myself. I know the movie was fiction but it could just as easily have been real, very easily have been real.We have and are becoming more so, an overcivilized society where kids sit at a computer playing games or putting themselves in a situation to be kidnapped, possibly even killed by living a fairytale life. I could go on and on but I think I made my point. The woods is my church where the Great Spirit speaks to me on the wind, and my school where one never stops learning about the REAL ways of this wonderful life. Ta'sunka Witco
