Terrific
This is a truly unique cinema experience – story-telling at its finest. The film documents Aboriginal culture, history and humor in a way that I have never seen on-screen before.The voice-over narration of David Gulpilil is excellent. The cinematography is awesome. The film oozes with authenticity and was filmed on location in very remote areas of the Northern Territory of Australia.
It’s tragic that this culture should be so remote and foreign to Australians (what to speak of others elsewhere in the world).
This film is full of the dignity of this honorable race of people who have so much to be proud of.
Not a Hollywood blockbuster
Even though it’s not your typical “saturday night eating popcorn” movie, we decided this was a movie worth seeing.“Ten Canoes” weaves two stories together. A young aboriginal man is out hunting goose eggs with nine other men and gets chatting to an elder. The elder corners him as he knows the young fella has his eyes on his youngest wife, and wants to tell him a story from the time of his ancestors that should put him off making a move. In some cultures the young fella might just get a clip around the ear, but in their culture it involves a story taking several days to tell.
May not sound fascinating, but the movie is built around what all good movies should be, an interesting story. I won’t spoil it, but the story slowly builds your interest and despite the simple setting, holds your attention.
It’s a refreshing movie, which keeps you watching while teaching you about another culture. Well worth seeing, however if you favourite movie is “Fast and the Furious”, you may not love it.
