Is it wrong that our English teacher showed us this film when we were about 11/12 years old?

@WonderWomanFan4life I just saw that movie a couple of minutes ago and it is really true what you said. I kept wondering what had happened with the aboriginal boy. I think it was like a mating dance but the girl seemed really to try to distanced from him. Also, It broke my heart when the aboriginal kid saw the Australian hunters rapidly killing game and crying about it. So deep and beautiful.

@ninjadance

it looked to me like someone shot the animals for example it may have been taken from real footage of those who shoot them for sport. i thought that was very sad

@Hugo411

yes it was visually lovely but some parts left unanswered. Like for example did you understand his dance? was it a death dance or mating dance? he was really crying in it too. poor kid. that girl basically treated him like a servant. She swam and swam while he was hunting for food, cooking, playing with her brother. she was not concerned about learning at all she had him.
