Talk:The Emerald Forest

"who, in his opinion, are destroying the world with their constructions, and abducts the child. Bill Markham pursues them, but his son is gone."

Didn't he call them hte termite people ?or reffer t them a bit diffrntly. this movie is used in psychology classes it would be nice if it was beter documented.


 * The Invisible People refer to the loggers as termite people, as they consume all the vegatation and leave devastation behind. It's been years since I read the novelisation but I believe Tommé also compares the Termite towers to the blocks of flats in the city.  --Davoloid (talk) 10:28, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Novelisation and Making of books
There is a novelisation of the film by Robert Holdstock which had a few differences from the film. The main one I recall was a poignant moment when Tommé comes to visit his family, he performs a small ritual on his mother, releasing her "sad spirit" by sucking her breast, and releasing a butterfly out onto the balcony. She then accepts his return to the jungle.

There is also a Diary by John Boorman of the making of the film.

(want to check these work and seems relevant before I add to the article.) --Davoloid (talk) 10:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC) (ahem)

Markham's Dynamite Did Not Detonate
It was his son's plan that eventually caused a surge of water to wreck the dam. The dynamite never went off as I recall. The text of the story is wrong to say that Markham succeeded in demolishing the dam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gomez2002 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Chagnon
Does this movie have any connection to the book The Fierce People by Napoleon Chagnon? DancesWithGrues (talk) 17:14, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
