He doesn't take him back home but, there is a scene where the boy climbs the dad's apartment building to get inside. - @Monday, July 8, 2013 9:44 AM

having watched the film i must admit it does seem such a peaceful and blissful life, if i were in his father's shoes i dont know how i'd feel, sad perhaps that my son wouldnt be coming home but at the same time i'd be happy that he was alive, well and was getting married to a beautiful amazon girl - @Saturday, January 5, 2013 3:01 AM

if that was the case then its only influence was scenery, the actual plot of the movie is more akin to the film dances with wolves - @Saturday, January 5, 2013 2:31 AM

I've got to see this movie one of these days - @Thursday, December 27, 2012 5:06 AM

I get you. But as a director i'm sure he knows more about movies than i do, and if I found this flick, then why wouldn't he? I just thought of Avatar because of the whole, indigenous people and the once destructive guy joining their side and trying to defend them. I just don't see why that would surprise you. - @Tuesday, June 19, 2012 10:03 PM

joe shmoe

I didn't say Avatar was better. I implied that maybe the director of Avatar watched this and got his idea from it. But i'm not comparing them. - @Friday, June 15, 2012 4:21 AM

joe shmoe

It looks like the movie Avatar must've been influenced by this. - @Monday, June 11, 2012 12:10 AM
