Cannibal Holocaust Page #4

Come on...

I wonder where there village is?

Just shoot in the air

and follow them...

And when they scatter

how are we gonna get there?

No, wait.

I know what I'm doing.

Don't you get it?

We can never keep up with them.

This way that buck will go slow enough...

...to take us right to the village.

Well, what do you think Professor?

It's not the best way of establishing peace

with the Yacumo tribe.

I'm beginning to understand...

why they greeted us with such hostility.

Do you think this is bad?

This is nothing.

Alan did much worse.

Just watch.

They could play it rough

when they thought they had too.

Remember how they set up

some of those executions.

Faye!

Here we are at the end of the world in human history.

Things like this happen all the time in the jungle.

It's survival of the fittest.

In the jungle it's the daily violence of the strong overcoming the weak.

Jack!

Let's do it!

Jack a torch.

Ready!

OK!

The massacre of the Yacumos by the Yanomamos.

A set-up...all a set-up!

Get this f***er.

That's it.

Keep them inside.

Get in, Get in.

Get em' back inside.

It's beautiful.

Alan!

Here!

Show them how we do it.

Oh, you motherf***er.

Get the f*** outta here.

Do you believe this?

You f***in' turkey.

I'm drained.

You must admit it is exceptional footage.

I didn't expect such impact and authenticity.

I don't think exceptional is the right word.

You don't?

No

I mean, what's exceptional about a primitive tribe

like the Yacumos being terrorized...

...and forced to do something

that they don't normally do?

Come on now Professor,

Let's be realistic

Who knows anything

about the Yacumo civilization?

Today people want sensationalism..

The more you rape there senses

the happier they are.

Oh yes, the typical western thought.

Civilized... that's what Alan thought

and that's why he's dead.

The Yacumo Indian is a primitive...

...and he needs to be respected as such.

Did you ever think of Yacumo point of view

that we might be the ones that are savages?

Well, I never thought of it that way.

But it's an interesting idea... Yes...

Let's say things are reversed, right.

...and the Yacumo attacked your house

defiled everything you held holy.

You know that pig that was killed?

That was food for those people.

What if someone came into your house

and you're hungry

and took the little bit of food you had

in the refrigerator

and threw it down the toilet

would you behave in a civilized way?

Would you like people make money off your misery?

We have succeeded in establishing....

shall we say...diplomatic relations with the Yacumas

But, what are we for them?

These are people who have never seen

a white man before.

...or heard the sound of a gun.

We know they are really afraid of our powers.

But for how long?

And can we really be sure they don't hate us, like...

most people hate what that don't understand

When the old members of the tribe

feel death approach

they wander off to a secluded spot.

After she dies this old woman

This old woman will probably end up

as lunch for some alligator.

In the jungle nothing goes to waste,

nature recycles everything.

You are about to witness an ancient ritual

never before seen by civilized man.

The tribe is a primitive social unit.

Bound together for the basic needs of survival.

To protect itself, the tribe must eliminate

any diseased elements.

Now don't go away.

What your about to see...

...may simply be described as social surgery.

Had a long discussion last night about whether

to keep going or turn back?

Wasn't easy to come to an agreement.

Perhaps others were right,

perhaps we shouldn't push our luck.

God knows we've been lucky so far.

But you know what finally convinced them?

The chance to become famous.

To reach that spot where...time stopped...

...3 or 4 thousand years ago.

Yanomamos, the Tree People

live in constant strife with their...

...enemies the Shamatares

See this guy?

This was a Yanomamo warrior...

....killed by the Yacumos.

Just to give you an idea,

to the Yacumos this is a savage.

I'm not speaking as a scientist

but as a man of the street.

This so called documentary footage is offensive

it's dishonest and above all it's inhuman!

Yes, yes, of course...

we all know what Alan was like

He overdid it as usual.

But what you saw is a rough cut.

Perhaps I haven't made myself clear. But I...

I refuse to have anything

to do with this material.

Look! Professor...

We are talking about the most

sensational documentary to come along

in years.

...and you want us to just shelf it,

forget about it

as if it had never been found?

Is that what you want?

Yes.

Yes, thats precisely what I want.

I've seen the rest of the material, you haven't

You haven't seen the stuff your editors...

...didn't have the stomach to put together.

If you'd had, you wouldn't hesitate

to agree with me.

John? Go ahead...

Somewhere in the middle

of this Green Inferno

where no civilized man has been before.

The jungle here's different.

It's almost hospitable.

So far we've seen no sign yet

of the Tree People.

The Yanomamos...

We're beginning to wonder

if they really exist

or if they're just a legend.

I think we got one...

Look what we found...

Some taste you guys have, she stinks...

She's marked. What do you guys

think she is? A Yanomamo?

Or a Shamatare?

Why don't you ask her?

What do you want to do with her?

I'll take care of the little monkey!

Judging from the looks of this girl...

We finally found the Yanomamos,

The Tree People.

We're gonna have to be very careful.

Cause these people are known for their cruel...

Get her! Come on!! Alright...

Alright...I got this little monkey

You go first.

Oh, drop on her...Oh right.

I can't help it...

Oh, go ahead alright...

Open!

Jack! What do you want to use for?

Porno films? You stupid ass!!!

That's not a bad idea...

How about jungle Joeys?

Hey, you want me to keep shooting?

Do you want me to keep shooting or what?

That's a stupid question.

Hurry up Casanova it's Jack's turn...

Jack's next!

OK Jack... Go ahead.

Come on.

We only have three cans of film left,

we can't use this...

Why do you wanna waste it like that?

Shut up!

Aren't you gonna get some Alan?

The only thing he get's off on is his camera!

'Kay, Mark!

Stop shooting Mark!

Stop it Alan!!!

God damn you!!!!

He's changing reels.

Alright...Hold it tight, tight

Zoom in for a close up...

Watch it Alan I'm shooting.

Oh good Lord!

It's unbelievable...

It's horrible!

I can't understand the reason

for such cruelty?

Must have something to do

with some obscure sexual rite or

...with some profound respect these primitives have for virginity.

You're rolling Mark? Yea...

Look up there on the right.

Wait they're all around us.

Keep rolling...

We're gonna get an Oscar for this.

Jaaack!

Jack! Alan, Alan you can't!!!

Look he's had it anyway...

He's still alive you bastard!

Get the f*** of me...goddamn it!
