hi
i've never read the book, and of course, i haven't seen the movie
can anyone tell me if it has anyhing to do with the yanomami tribe??
thanks
yeah. not seen the movie but in the book the lead character's father is the anthropologist who 'discovered' the yanomamo aka the fierce people.
So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year? Christina Aguilerashare
The Yanomamo are several groups (Yanomamo, Yanomami, etc) that live in the Amazon between Brazil and Venezuela in the Orinoco area. There is so much info on them because of Napoleon Chagnon and his contemporaries that it would be pointless for me to tell you anything now. The best I can do is to recommend reading "The Fierce People" by Chagnon. Also, here's the website to see the ax fight; one of the most controversial films ever caught during field work:

Whether chocolate or vanilla, or you're somewhere in between
A cappuccino mocha or a caramel queen
I read the Chagnon book and watched the axe fight film during my anthropology studies. Very interesting tribes. I do fear I will have to wait for a miracle release before I can see this movie here in the UK.

yeah, i know, dharmalita
i'm studying social anthropology at school, so we sometimes read bits of it
though i'm not sure about the part you said that they are several groups
i mean, yes, there are different villages, but i think there is no difference between saying yanomamö or yanomami, i think it is the same, the name is the only thing that changes
The funny thing though is that the tribesman in this film speaks in Filipino. LOL
shareyeah, it was quite funny. I'm filipino and hearing tagalog words coming out from a man who's supposed to portray a tribal chief in the jungles of south america is... odd.
