I saw this movie in a theater when it first came out. I clicked on it today to see the opening montage . . . one of the most beautiful I'd ever seen . . . a plane coming over the island with stunning scenes of beaches, palm trees, waves, all the colors of this beautiful place, accompanied by the incomparable Harry Belafonte singing "Island in the Sun". That opening is no longer, instead creepy "music" and scenes that don't belong. This opening song is probably so tied up with a copywrite laws now that it can't be used anymore. What a shame! I will now comfort myself with my Harry Belafonte LP. Sheesh!!!
In the Fiji islands even in the 80s it was very much the same. Until 2000 the coup d'etat on Parliament. I was there four times. I like this movie but it also makes me very sad that this thing continues. Very close to the truth. England expansionism. Bellefonte Elegante. Mr Mason when you're a bad guy you are really good bad guy.
Wonderful movie . Makes you uncomfortable watching the parts about the racial problems as they were much more socially aware at that time . Actors have done a good job of their roles.
I'm up to 10 minutes, but the music keeps making me suspect this movie is about giant jungle spiders, and they're about to drop onto the people in every scene. WHEN is the first jump-scare finally going to happen, for goodness sake!!!
I had pizza for dinner tonight. Tomorrow, I will smile at strangers. Now where did I put my electric tooth brush? Oh never mind, it's over there next to the turnips.
Tan tipico del Caribe, siempre lo mismo, trabajar de mala gana, odiar el silencio, vivir acompañado de ruido, sin una canción no avanza ningún trabajo, como si el ritmo fuera un castigo disciplinario, todo el mundo habla a gritos, pobreza extrema escondiéndose detras de las ferias y festivales, danzas obscenas y alegría a borde de locura... y siempre exigir derechos con cara de arrogancia, pues "soy el descendiente de los esclavos y por eso merezco adoración y respeto"... solo que la bulla ha aumentado mas, pues ahora no encuentras estas bellas playas donde sólo suena el oleaje y nada de esa fastidiosa musiquita 😒 se dijo: madhouse
Туземные девушки задирают юбки , чтобы привлечь богатых американских туристов. Это 1957 год, белые девушки носят шляпки и перчатки. Им полагается быть скромными.
Except that they aren’t native girls, other than in the sense that they were born there , which would apply to both races. The native race or the indigenes , was , I think, a sub group of American Indians. So called, because Christopher Columbus logged them in his report to Queen Isabella as “ The children of God” ( los nińos in Dios ) …. However , I agree with your observation.
