I saw this on Saturday, after being beguiled into thinking it
was of the erotic nature. It was pretty riveting and included
some good twist. Not one I would have chosen, but then again the
choice wasn't mine that evening!

| <<The movie focuses on Avik, a half-breed Eskimo that mapmaker Patrick

Did they use the word Eskimo in the movie? Haven't heard that word in
Canada for years. They are Inuit.
That's not a recent PC "invention", it's their own ancient word for
themselves that's been adapted in the media here for many years.
The only people that use the word "Eskimo" are kids (and Americans).
If the Inuit in the movie was "taken to Canada" where did he start
from? Canada goes up to the Pole.

| They used the word Eskimo and they also named the place in the Arctic
where Avik was found, but not knowing the area, I didn't pay much
attention. All I can say is that Canada looked like the Caribbean in
comparison to where Avik lived! Brrrr!!!!!!!

| I am part Eskimo. I come from royal lines. My great-grandmother
was an Eskimo Reindeer Princess, Princess Holulu Buliak and her
mother, Reindeer Queen, Mary of White Mountain Alaska. At no
time in my upbringing (born in Seattle, Wa) did my family refer
to us as anything other than Eskimo.
It wasn't until last year when I began doing research into our
family and Eskimos in earnest, did I discover how many different
kinds of Eskimos/American Indians populated Canada, Alaska, Russia,
Greenland, etc.

I just saw Map last thursday after seeing Dragon two weeks ago. Jason is
extraordinary in both. He was completely believable as Bruce Lee in Dragon,
yet seeing him as Avik, made me wonder, for an instance, whether it was the same
actor. I highly recommend both movies and will watch for any new Jason Scott Lee
movies.
On a down beat note, when the wife and I saw Map of the Human Heart at a 5pm
showing, there was ONE other person in the theatre. This movie deserves a
much larger audience than it is getting. :-(

| 190.7 | loved it | VAXWRK::STHILAIRE | Food, Shelter & Diamonds | Mon May 24 1993 10:47 | 6 |
| I saw this Friday night and loved it. It's a completely engrossing
story, and the acting, as has been said, is excellent. It's definitely
one of the best movies I've seen so far this year.

| 190.8 | More advertising | 32198::KRUEGER | | Thu May 27 1993 11:36 | 5 |
| This movie was featured in People Magazine this week, and for ONCE they
actually loved something that I loved! Maybe this will get more people
to see it. It's definitely worth a full-price ticket.

| 190.9 | Taken to Canada??? Montreal that is... | 12027::DOBES | | Mon Jun 28 1993 18:39 | 9 |
| In response to note 190.3.
The child is taken to Montreal for treatment of tuberculosis (sp?).
It was very sad but interesting to see the types of treatments he had
to endure to get cured.
Lots of nice cinematography in this film I thought.

|
| 190.11 | excuse me? :-) | VAXWRK::STHILAIRE | Food, Shelter & Diamonds | Tue Aug 03 1993 12:29 | 8 |
| re .10, could you explain that in a little more detail?
I guess the comparison to Slaughterhouse Five (i read the book,
didn't see the movie) is because of the bombing of Dresden, but
what is "Dersu Uzala"?

| 190.12 | | 3270::AHERN | Dennis the Menace | Wed Aug 04 1993 12:04 | 8 |
| Sorry, Lorna. I'm being even more obscure than usual.
"Dersu Uzala" was a 1975 Kurosawa film about a Russian explorer in
Siberia who teams up with a native guide. OK, so it was a stretch.
I was actually a little disappointed with MotHH as I had been impressed
with Ward's earlier films, "The Navigator" and "Vigil".

| 190.13 | good film | 42721::IVES_J | One i-node short of a file system | Fri Aug 06 1993 11:12 | 6 |
| I swa Dursu Uzala while at college, ver long as I remeber but very good
simple story about exploring a natural wilderness. I remember the scene
where Dursu (the local guide to the russian explorers) builds a refuge
to keep the captain alive using the tripod from his theodolite .
A neat trick if you happen to have a theodolite with you ;-)

| 190.14 | hmmmm... | 16821::VETEIKIS | | Sat Nov 20 1993 08:09 | 11 |
| Overall I really enjoyed this movie.
However, was I the only one disappointed in the ending? I thought a
pivotal point in the movie was Avik's statement, "You make your own
luck." Then after the bombing of Dresden he doesn't return to
Albertine. That didn't make sense to me.
Don't let this nit detract you from picking up this movie, now that it
is a rental. It is an excellent movie.

The child actor that played Avik was absolutely charming. What a
beautiful smile on that child. It melts your heart.

| RE: .18
Oh yes the little boy was very charming.....yet the little girl grated
on my nerves - I was sooooo happy when she 'grew up' and they used the
older actress...and oh course Jason Scott Lee looked absolutly yummie
throughout.
spoiler comment
I really felt bad for him when he attended the party and
found out Albertine was married to Vistor...... :^(
She appeared to be a heartless bitch - cheating on her husband while
the whole time she was leading Avik on....just my opinion of curse

| 190.20 | JASON SCOTT LEE AND A GREAT MOVIE! | 21752::GROEZINGER | | Fri Feb 25 1994 11:22 | 9 |
| A little late, but I just rented this movie. A must see!
Jason Scott Lee was great in this film as he was in Dragon.
Anybody know when we'll see him again? I heard he was filming
a movie called Easter Island. Any news of this?

August. He's also filming a live action version of The Jungle Book.
