DVD Reviews of The Story of the Weeping Camel
DVD Review: Rapid Response
Summary: 4 Stars
Our family needed this DVD to send as a birthday present. The mesage in "Weeping Camel" is timeless and universal. Having recently had opportunity to stay one night in a Yert, despite no near by camels, the resilience and laughter of Mongolian people is more than refreshing - even more than the famous "pause that refreshes". Older soda beverage cousumers will most appreciate this. The rapid response by Amazon is most appreciated.
Thank you, camels, sturdy people, and Amazon staff. George W. Brown
DVD Review: Weeping Camel
Summary: 4 Stars
Great children's movie (8-10 year olds) providing intesting insight to culture and customs on the Gabi Desert.DVD Review: Beautiful tale
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautifully sensitive animal story reflecting the Mongolian culture in light of a mother/ daughter animal relationship. The story demonstrates hope, optimism and determination in rectifying the "broken" mother / child relationship between the mother camel and her calf. DVD Review: Really nice video
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very nice documentary-style video. Appropriate for the entire family, and for any age. The video shows what it's like for everyday living for Mongolian nomad, and shows the closeness they have with their animals.DVD Review: a documentary masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
The words have not been invented that can adequately describe the artistry, creativity, intuitiveness and rare humanity that is invested in this documentary. It is the rarest of cinematographic gems that tells the most touching and timeless story of a Mongolian desert family. The marvelous insight and richness of heart here delivers lessons in psychology, sociology and anthropology that carry well beyond anything that has ever appeared in print.
Description of The Story of the Weeping Camel
An exotic and beautiful tale The Story of the Weeping Camel follows the adventures of a family of camel herders in Mongolia's Gobi Desert as they face a crisis when their camel rejects her newborn calf after a difficult birth.Running Time: 87 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. UPC:?794043776823This breathtaking blend of documentary and fiction filmmaking provides an unobtrusive glimpse into the relationships, rituals, and livelihood of a four-generation family of nomadic shepherds in the Gobi desert of South Mongolia. It is birthing season for the family's herd of camels and after several healthy foals are born, the last birth is difficult. With quiet perseverance, the family helps to deliver a rare white colt, which the mother camel quickly rejects and refuses to nurse. With growing concern for the colt's survival, the family decides to employ a nomadic singing ritual to coax the mother into nurturing her young. They send the two eldest sons on a journey to the nearest village to fetch a musician for the "hoos ritual." The story unfolds gently, sensitive to the rhythms of desert life while honoring its real-life actors. This modest yet magnificent film is the graduation project of film students Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, extending beyond the tale of a camel and colt to explore the fragility and beauty of an ancient way of life. Rated PG for some mild thematic content. (Ages 8 and older) --Lynn Gibson
