Honestly in the beginning of the movie I had no idea what to think. I just thought it was extremely strange at first. I still kind of think it was strange in some ways but also very interesting too. I didn’t expect to end up getting as engaged in it as I did. I just get so amazed when I see how different other people live there life and how cultures can differ so extremely. That’s definitely one of the things I found to be so appealing. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to live like the people in the movie did. Personally I think id die if I had to bath in a bucket, had no electricity, my life revolved around camels, and I had to take a journey on a camel just to go to the store for one thing. But apparently people can indeed live that way and surprisingly enough the people filmed seemed to be pretty content with their life style. Like when the grandfather told the boy he doesn’t need a TV, staring at glass images is no way to live or use time. I could see where he was coming from in a sense. I learned something new as well, I never knew that if a camel has a rough time going through the birth of their colt that they sometimes won’t accept it after its born. I felt bad for the little camel and really couldn’t wait to see if the mother would end up accepting it. I was glad to see that she did, and amazed at how it happened with the music and everything. I couldn’t believe that it actually worked. The time and effort that those people put into those camels was intense, they chose to have a huge responsibility to them and care that much and they do a great job with it. Overall I guess I liked the movie more than I thought I did.
