Recently, when showing the movie,
I received messages like:
:23:08
'Bastard, you killed a boar,
you're gonna pay for this!'
:23:13
When you eat ham,
it's the same.
:23:16
That didn't trouble me.
:23:18
However, tribal rites with monkeys
impressed me very much.
:23:25
Beheading them... People do that
in China to eat warm brains.
:23:31
This animal is close to us,
it's very impressive.
:23:34
These scenes were the most difficult.
:23:37
But nobody complained.
:23:42
It was the beginning of
the rain season.
:23:47
We were shooting a scene
:23:50
on a small island,
:23:53
quite far from our camp.
:23:58
We heard the thunder,
which announced rain.
:24:04
We shot the scene quickly,
:24:11
in spite of the danger.
:24:14
We knew that the rain
:24:19
could take us towards the river.
:24:23
Well, seeing those savages,
let's call them that,
:24:26
those native Indians...
:24:29
Well, seeing them
:24:31
waiting for us to be on the boats
:24:35
before they went on themselves...
:24:36
This sense of 'civilization'...
:24:40
I want to use this term
about these people
:24:45
who may think
:24:47
that they are not civilized,
that they do not know certain rules.
:24:52
This sense of hospitality
:24:55
moved me very much.
