What are 2 things that the filmmaker did that are controversial? Why were they? Do you think the film was "authentic" after reading this article? Why are why not? Why is this film so famous?
The filmmaker didn't show the seal actually being pulled to the surface, and he recruited Inuit people to act in it. People found this controversial because they believed that it made his documentary "inauthentic" and that it shed a negative light on the realities of human vs. nature. I still believe that the documentary is authentic as it shows the resilience of the Inuit people, and like the article says, you can't necessarily fake a walrus hunt if the walrus hasn't seen the script; the struggle of the hunt was real. I believe that is what makes this film so famous, combined with the fact that it was filmed in harsh conditions, just humans against nature.
