really northern exposure (Village of the End of the World trailer)

Thu, May 09, 2013

I’m dying to see this. I’m not sure I can imagine living in such a remote place — I think I’d be eager to get away from it, too.

So sorry I missed the press screenings of this…

share and enjoy

Interesting ethical implications here. Is it right to try to get people to stay and learn their ancestral culture?

Not everyone is suited for a place like this, just like not everyone is suited for life in the middle of Bangkok or New York City. Also, maybe a person is suited for both a small village on a large, powerful sea and a big city or a populous suburb with a shiny shopping mall…just at different points in that person’s life.

So much goes on emotionally and physically with humans as we grow up. I am sure that every culture in every place at every time in human development has has to deal one way or another with the restlessness that happens on the border between childhood and adulthood, however it is defined by that culture.
