AS a scholar who has specialized in Flaherty studies for many years, I appreciate the humor in your piece, and actually love the contemporary casting,. Your review however makes it sound as if the film is a joke and that no one should see it. Everyone should see this film. It is an important part of North American cultural heritage, as subject too often slammed by supposedly ironic comments such as yours. Time to go post-po-mo and look at the world with a kind eye.
