Nanook Of The North

 What are 2 things that the filmmaker did that are controversial?  Why were they?  Do you think the film was "authentic" after reading this article?  Why are why not?  Why is this film so famous?

    What was controversial about this was that there was an interruption in the filming, there is a missing piece of a scene where you don't see the seal getting pulled up to the surface bringing up the question on if this was authentic or not, another thing was the filmmaker not wanting to show a shot with a gun to keep the purity of "man against nature" which again takes away from the authenticity of the film. I think this film was authentic in what they were showing, however there were definitely parts they dramatized for the sake of entertainment and film. I think this film is so famous though for what it achieved in the time it was made.
