Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThree well-known persons appear uncredited: Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania, Richard Gordon Turnbull, the last colonial governor of Tanganyika, and Moise Tshombe, a Congolese politician who returned to Congo to "stop the rebellion" and died three years after this film was made.
- PatzerThere's a scene that shows bodies lined on the ground outside because of lack of space in the morgue, and are surrounded by birds. The subtitles say "The vultures are patiently waiting for their turn, after the operation." The birds are not vultures, but pelicans.
- Zitate
[last lines]
Narrator: At the end of the Ice Age, a warm current broke this little colony of penguins off of the glaciers of the south and carried them here on huge rafts of ice that melted in the sun. Isolated and without the possibility of returning to their original homeland, they have for centuries been strangers in a strange land that is becoming more and more heated and hostile toward them surrounded by a sea that grows higher and more and more filled with rage. Perhaps a little peace will descend upon these waters sooner or later, before a wave stronger than the others tears them away forever from this last rock that forms the geographic end of the Dark Continent.
- Alternative VersionenBefore receiving a UK cinema certificate the film was cut by over 12 minutes and was missing all footage of rotting human corpses and animal killings.
- VerbindungenEdited into Der letzte Schrei des Dschungels (1975)
It's fascinating that the record of atrocities made to humans and animals in Africa existed already in the sixties. Just as those atrocities were happening. Today, fifty years later, we are only made aware post festum that something like that was happening and happened, but it is like some distant point in the past. If you think Iraq war in the nineties was the first 'live' feed of (war) terror from the other side of the world, think again. And try to find this movie. The movie maybe is not 'live' feed in the most rigid sense of the word, but it is a contemporary document of something that shouldn't have happened. And, what is worse, is still happening today.
And terrifying? Well, you just have to see the movie.
