i like the fact that this movie will open up many different discussions about the depiction of different cultures, sexuality, and religion in the film.
Some interesting things worth noting about this movie:
1. "laugh with my wife" is a euphemism for "have sex with my wife"
2. a 1960 mainstream release and there is a nude scene showing the bare breasts of Inuk's wife ( couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing.. side note: they're nice )
3. Peter O'Toole's voice is dubbed by someone else
4. the fairly graphic in showing the hunting and killing of animals
5. the cheap feel of the outdoor scenes that were shot on a sound stage and the rear projection process shots of the men in their kayaks
6. no authentic natives of the region were used
7. when Inuk's wife is giving birth, her sounds and visual expressions are very sexualized
8. the accidental death that Inuk causes doesn't happen until 2/3rds of the way into the movie yet by reading most of the plot descriptions of the movie online you would think that this is the main event that drives the story
9. the scene where a snowstorm is approaching quickly and he seemingly builds a Igloo shelter in a matter of a minute or 2
10. the religious questions that the film raises about what "sin" is and what to do when laws of one culture conflict with another.
11. the weird dramatic pause of the freeze-frame ending.. wait for it.. wait for it.. wait.. OK "the end"
