The White Masai - Film Preview
July 17th 2006 21:24
Based on an autobiography by Corinne Hoffman, it recounts a European woman's journey to Africa, where she falls in love with a Masai warrior and decides to stay in Kenya.
Most reviewers praise this film for the visual splendor of the Kenyan scenery, or the gender struggles of a European coming to terms with a traditional society, but I'm going to advocate this film for the unsaid truth. It's a movie about a white woman going to Africa and leaving her white boyfriend for a black dude.
We've all heard the popular saying 'Once you go black, you can't go back'.
I don't know if that's true, but that seems to be the point of this film. Or would be, if I had seen it. All I can really do is make some vague remarks: ah, um, visually stunning, a compelling story.
What everyone is thinking, but no one is brash enough to say... did the main character leave her Swiss boyfriend because of a phenomenal difference in penis size?
We might have to wait for the DVD special extras to answer that.
