The Emerald Forest by John Boorman Movie Review

The Emerald Forest by John Boorman - Movie Re bet ExampleApart from the difference in the authority structures of these two societies, their total life styles and cultures are different. Western modern society is developed and advanced in terms of engineering science and uses machine guns and weapons to fight, aero planes to travel and some other machines to cut complete forests and clear the land for construction, whereas the invisible people do not have much use of technology as they use arrows and spears to fight and travel by walking long distances (Proyect). As wanadi says, When I was a boy, the edges of the arena was very far away, but it comes closer each year. It means that western world is development in technology and now travelling across the entire world to reach far off places have become easy and fast. However, as technology is enhancing it is destroying the natural environment more (The Emerald Forest). Air pollution from the aero planes, cars etc have increased r esulting in various diseases affecting our respiratory systems when we inhale the oxygen make up in the air. Also the modern guns and weapons have resulted in the increasing demolition of mankind who are killed in massacres. The machines used to clear off forests have sunk the beauty of the world and the indigenous livelihood (The Emerald Forest). The natural resources are being depleted with the adoption of new technology. This is the reason that the people of the western world were called to be Termite as they cut d declare big trees and destroy the real world which is in forests (The Emerald Forest). The invisible people are loving, caring, fair people who calls the forest as their world, who keeps to themselves, away from western society and just want... Both the traditional culture and the culture of the western American societies have their own good and bad points but in my view, the culture of the invisible people is far better than that of the westerners. The reason is th at the invisible people were good hearted, loving human who were satisfied with their lives and were happily living with their people in their world. Their culture satisfies all their humanly demand like physiological needs of food, water, sex etc, the safety needs by providing them shelter, resources to survive, health, their emotional needs by providing family, love, and by giving a sense of community in which people can depend upon each other in time of their need, their esteem needs i.e. their culture teaches them how to respect others and confidence and finally the highest level of human need that is self-actualization by providing them problem-solving capabilities and morality. The traditional culture promotes otherworldliness and the feeling of community which makes them selfless people who unlike the westerners do not tear apart nature and others feel for their own needs or motives. This view is further supported by Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and Emile Durkheim who also vie ws modern society as a misery in which people are unhappy and never to the full satisfied. Even though they all have the same conclusion, they have different reasons for their views. According to Karl Marx, this misery results from capitalism which divides society into two major groups Bourgeoisie and Proletaria.
