If she understood his mating dance...


Do you think that if the girl had understood the aborigine boy's dance that she would have accepted him? They both seemed to care about each other a lot, and there was even lust on both there parts. It seemed like he accidentally scared her away with his creepy dance ritual. Both she and her brother had become happy and content in the wild over time, and the ending showed that she yearned for her time in the wild and regretted what could have been. So what do you think, would she have accepted him as her mate if it weren't for the communication misunderstanding?

She should have gone out to him once the boner had vanished and did the whole "It's not you, it's me" speech to let him down gently (no pun intended)

Haha! Yeah.

…and she would've been right!

I'm sure going to miss these message boards. I guess IMDB is cost-cutting at the expense of customer satisfaction. Fully corporate.
