Tribe meets white people for the first time (1976)

[IC3D]

It says on the mans website they were undiscovered til 1993, definately shot on video too

 

[lizzieloo]

They're desparately googling to disprove it

Can't you just see the joy in something? take it at face value?

But lizzie, if it was shot in 1976 it was magical but if it was shot in 1993 then our enjoyment and marvel at it is invalid, void, nugatory.

If I'm going to suspend my disbelief, I like to have things a bit less obvious than that.

So what? novels are made up, lots of them are good.

Lots of good fiction out there. I thought they were presenting this video as being fact.


The picture of the shark attacking the helicopter guy is pretty good, too.

 

[lizzieloo]

Ah fuck off joy sapper

NUGATORY. I'll have to get that word into my next journal paper.

Most people don't like to be toyed with. If something is going to elicit emotion, they like to think that it's genuine, unless they've gone looking for a novel, movie etc as entertainment.

It's the definition of trolling. Using something fake to elicit an emotional response.

I'm no expert, but that really really does look like video. It looks genuine to me. But I don't think it can be 1976.

You're not being tricked

Gah the fucking French is all I can say. http://www.rue89.com/2011/06/23/crainte-et-curiosite-premiere-rencontre-avec-des-hommes-blancs-210642

They did it for malaria drugs, I suppose I can sleep tonight safe in the knowledge that nothing has changed in the world

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

If the clip was produced by hoaxers, they've worked pretty hard on their backstory...

Dutilleux did collaborate with Sting to write a book about the Amazon.

Yep. Johnny still likes ruining things for everyone else. Same old.

 

[smmudge]

There is a short film as part of the 'Ten minutes older' compilations (I can't remember which one it was in) that documents the 'discovery' of apparently one of the 'last known tribes to encounter modern civilisation' from the Amazon rainforest. It was probably made around 35 years ago (it was a long time ago I came across it). It was a similar story, but it showed more of the effects that it had on the tribe afterwards. All I really remember was the end, it talked about the nephew of one of the 'chief' tribesmen. The nephew now lived and worked in Rio, in IT, and was quite embarrassed of his lineage. Anyway it was quite interesting.

I wouldn't pull this shit (Pictured here with a French fucking anthropologist)

 

[littlebabyjesus]

The voice of reason. This really is from the 1970s.

TBH I'm glad he did this time. David Attenborough in the clip I posted puts this lot to shame, even if it had been genuine.

Oh, fuck off. Not everybody is as gullible as you.

 

[lizzieloo]

Can you tranlate the text on that French site please?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Amongst other things, I found the scripted actions of the 'lost tribe' to be clownish and demeaning to actual aboriginal peoples. Maybe some of you actually believe these stupid and patronizing caricatures.

You were right. There's no need to be triumphalist about it, though.

I'm not; I'm explaining to those accusing me of 'wrecking things', exactly what it was about the video that picked my butt.

Oh you be trippin, the acting wasn't too bad and its years since I met the last lost tribe on the family plantation in Guiana when I last saw those big eyes looking out through the undergrowth at me.
