I found this movie very interesting in the way it seemed to depict the life the inuit.Even though they lived in harsh conditions they seemed so happy.the ending really made me feel the sadness and pain they felt giving up their traditional ways to embrace,the beliefs of the family ties they had lived away from for so long.I think if they hadn't journeyed with the white men to their old colony, their lives would have continued in the way they always lived.The people, who had already converted to the new religon,the religon of the white men,seemed to just exsist they didn't seem to have the joy of life that knud rasmussen's family had.It was heart wrenching when he sent his spirit helpers away,they were always present in the movie.so you knew they were always a part of his life.He said good-bye to the old traditional ways at that moment.
