Papua New Guinea is such an interesting place. It has something like half of the world's languages and the interior didn't have contact with the outside world until early in the 20th Century.
Although I kinda wonder about the "documentary"-ness of this, given all the awesomely composed shots. Feels kinda directed to me, but what the hell do I know.

chomez - 2007-11-07 Yeah, I thought maybe I should have put "documentary" in quotations too. I especially doubt they spend so much time looking up waiting; most cargo cults seem to just integrate these practices into standing religous ceremonies, not devote their every waking moment to airplanes. This movie is also ultimately responsible for that miscegenation clip that came up earlier from another mondo "documentary."

5 just because I used the phrase "cargo cult programming" in a meeting today, and at least two people asked me what the hell I was talking about.

Imagine how they'd react to a low level supersonic pass.

It's not so much that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, so much as any sufficiently backwards people cannot distinguish advanced technology from magic.
Suck on that one Clarke.

fluffy - 2007-11-08 You realize that's exactly what Clarke's quote means, right?

Aren't you happy that we don't live in a place where everyone worships something, waiting for it to come and save them?
But then again, these people have actually seen a plane before.

Oh relgion, why must you continue chain people in ignorance.
|
Spastic Avenger - 2007-11-16 you mean why must an extrasomatic adaptation suddenly not be able to deal with something it has never had to deal with? Cargo Cults are just a way of assimilating new and alien information into an existing matrix of understanding. They are actually evidence of the narrative way in which all peoples deal with problems.

That plane is never going to fly, and your runway is crappy and small!
Suck on that, confused tribal-type peoples!
