Might is not always right
I missed the start of this film on tv but managed to tune in to the story’s events which appear to carry a strong social message based on prevalent ideas, prejudices and conflicts among people. It brings to mind the movie, Hawaii, in which the white man’s ways and beliefs were supposed to transform the local inhabitants but as it turned out, the well-meaning visitors had much to learn from the island people’s customs and beliefs. In a way it’s a lesson for us all that we should respect cultural differences, customs and values. As the saying goes, There are many roads that lead to Rome. The episode of trying to spread their inventive wings and fly was great fun to watch and O’Toole’s furry feet were a hilarious footnote to the scene. I regret some of the violence enacted but then those days were not always pleasant times. A happier ending would have been nice. On the other hand this film makes you stop and think. One can observe the conflict of intellect versus soul wisdom being played out. It’s a film well worth seeing.
Kind of an odd duck that never gets off the ground …..
Peter O’Toole and Richard Roundtree play off each other in this “play” played out on an island. The strong religious overtones preached by O’Toole are off putting and grinds the film to a halt at regular intervals. The fact that the natives speak in English, and O’Tool’s island is stocked with all matter of modern conveniences, sends believability out the window. Throw in some truly grating songs and you can easily deduce why the movie failed miserably. After about an hour, when the slow pace doesn’t improve, you will be tempted to reach for the fast forward button. I gave up entirely to save myself from further disappointment. – MERK
