the admins are slowly relenting anyway - the whole thing is basically double-standards and is playing to the film's noble-savage stereotyping.. which like all stereotyping is wrong.. even if it is part of the film.

the only reason people see the tribe as innocent is because they don't want to come off as being racist or insensitive to a fictional people, who were established as aggressive and dangerous - they just came across a greater evil.

I see it as similar to Klingons in Star Trek, who were also aggressive and dangerous - the only reason klingons really became "better" was because they faced bigger, meaner threats.

the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend, after all.. the tribe were not mindless killers but neither were they defenceless.. the tribe people that Yates massacred were not the warrior elite "cannibal" sector of that society.. because had the elite members of the tribe found Yates and his crew first the film would of ended very quickly.

I feel I gave the article the most fair portrayal to appease the sensitivities of others but I refuse to give in entirely and say that they don't warrant a place here.. they do.
