Son of God (2014)
God will be turning over in his grave...
In short... 132 minutes of my life that will never be returned to me !
Firstly the highly disproportionate amount of 10 star reviews indicates that christians have no respect for review process offered here on IMDb. If IMDb chose to remove those 10 star reviews then this movie might only have 1.5 stars if it was lucky.
Poor production, poor script, and poor acting are the only memorable features of this film.
This movie should only be famous for taking the place of "The Gaul" 2001 at the bottom of the IMDb list.
The documentary "Marjoe" 1972 is proof that the chronically Christian will throw their money at anything that might contain Jesus, "The Son of God" is proof that nothing has changed !
I can still taste the vomit in my mouth 3 days later !
Serious cinephiles should avoid this movie at all costs !
Magia nuda (1975)
A Glimpse into the last remnants of the past before exploitation by a "civilized society"
From a ethnographic perspective, these "staged" performances are rare glimpse into tribal customs that were, in essence, an adaptation to the land. Hunter gatherer societies around the world, have been "practicing" their lifestyles for over 40 000 years.
I viewed the 93min Italian dialog version, and I do not speak the language so relied on the "archival footage" to tell the story. I will leave it to the viewer to discern between the real and "fake" footage.
The anthropologist/documenter, is still the "guest" amongst these tribes, and as such, has the rights, roles and responsibilities of an uninitiated child. And are only shown the everyday world of these people and not their secret sacred lifestyle.
The "perfect circumcision" is a result of practices that surpass the written record. eg Aborigines in the desert regions of Australia practice circumcision and subincision.
I think you will find these tribes in Africa are no longer living there traditionally. (I hope I am wrong!) What was their land, has too much gold, diamonds, and those rare elements that are needed for mobile technology, and as such, has been taken over by governments and corporations.
Some might say exploitation I say culturally significant
