A truly Remarkable Film.
I love this movie. Story line and photography outstanding. Excellent story about a very current problem going on today, in spite of the fact that this Movie was released I think about 1985.

The Emerald Forest (DVD, 2001)
Powers Boothe plays Bill Markham, an American engineer building a dam on a river in Brazil. One day Bill's young son Tommy, who is only three or four years old, very briefly wanders off into the rain forest and is gone. Bill frantically searches for him but only finds a strange Indian arrow. It looks like he has been kidnapped by Amazonian tribesmen. Over the course of the next decade, Bill keeps looking for Tommy but has no success. The strange arrow has been identified as belonging to an almost unknown tribe called the Invisible People, but nobody knows how to contact them. On one such trip into the rain forest, Bill and his guide are attacked by a brutal tribe called the Fierce People. Bill's guide is captured and murdered and cannibalized.

One day Bill's young son Tommy, who is only three or four years old, very briefly wanders off into the rain forest and is gone. Bill frantically searches for him but only finds a strange Indian arrow. It looks like he has been kidnapped by Amazonian tribesmen. Over the course of the next decade, Bill keeps looking for Tommy but has no success. The strange arrow has been identified as belonging to an almost unknown tribe called the Invisible People, but nobody knows how to contact them. On one such trip into the rain forest, Bill and his guide are attacked by a brutal tribe called the Fierce People. Bill's guide is captured and murdered and cannibalized. Bill is wounded by a poisoned arrow but is rescued by a mysterious blond-haired boy covered with light green dye. Taken back to the boy's tribe for help, Bill eventually recovers. The Invisible People are a benevolently civilized people and are not warlike or aggressive. Bill soon discovers that the older Chief was the one who took Tommy years before, to replace a dead child. He said that he found him wandering in the rain forest and Tommy smiled at him. This teenage boy is definitely Tommy, but his memory of anything outside of the rain forest is like distant dreams with no reality. He does remember that Bill is "Dadee", but the old Indian chief is his father. Tommy has completely assimilated into the Indian tribe and family existence, with no recollection of his White heritage. Tommy has taken a wife as is their custom, Kachiri. Bill leaves to go back to civilization, now knowing where Tommy is, also knowing that Tommy has nor wants any other life. The Fierce People discover The Invisible People and they are attacked. Many are killed and almost all of the young women and girls are taken as slaves to be sold into the prostitution trades for the hundreds of dam project workers. Tommy must now seek to find his Dadee and Momee for help. Using Indian sensory magic, he is able to find them in the city. Bill immediately goes to the rescue of his son's wife and the others. These women are pretty much owned by gang-type gangsters and will have to be rescued by force. They are all kept within a compound surrounded by barbed wire and are forced to work as hostesses and prostitutes. Bill and the surviving men form a plan of attack and Bill leads the assault. He must get inside to gather all together. When the attack is carried out there is a fight with some of the Firece People who are being rewarded with guns and sex for their help to the gangs. Several of the Invisible People are killed and many of the Fierce People and gangsters are also killed, but the bulk of the women are rescued. They returned further into the rain forest where thousands of remote tribes still live to this day. This movie was based on a true story and was beautifully shot on location in Brazil.

Compelling and beautiful, though not Boorman's best
Director John Boorman (Excalibur, Deliverance, The General, Hope and Glory) jumps back into the wilderness directing his son in this thematic work about the impact of Western industrial society on the Amazon rainforest and its peoples. Boorman plays a slightly unsteady balance between making a social commentary juxtaposition between modern and "primitive" (better done in Nic Roeg's Walkabout)and a mythic journey tale (better done in Boorman's own Excalibur). Nevertheless, the film is resonant in a "Lord of the Flies" type of way, and Boorman no doubt enjoys the scores of naked South American tribal women as much as many of us will... John Boorman, an underappreciated master chameleon of filmmaking, proves again that he can do so many different typeds of movies and still show great merit.Director John Boorman (Excalibur, Deliverance, The General, Hope and Glory) jumps back into the wilderness directing his son in this thematic work about the impact of Western industrial society on the Amazon rainforest and its peoples.

Reaks of Audience Manipulation
Based on a true story, I have to feel like this movie has 'hollywood-ized' the story to make it more interesting and palitable. One could say it has a 'liberal bent' to it because it sort of reaks of audience manipulation. All the native south americans who are still living in the forest are not only beautiful people, but their villages are models as well. There are few children, no old people (other than the village chief, who is 'distinguished looking'), and certainly no ugly ones or screaming kids, etc, that you would expect in ANY normal environment. Everyone connected to the modern world is more or less cast in an evil or at least poor light. This includes any native south americans who have been touched by modern values and so corrupted. So because of these things I felt the ... Based on a true story, I have to feel like this movie has 'hollywood-ized' the story to make it more interesting and palitable.

So because of these things I felt the movie was preachy and heavy handed. As the story was a vehicle to tell us in modern societies how stinky we are. Also knowing a bit about south american native cultures, you will find this movie has sanitized a lot of behavoirs that western cultures would not approve of. Whether any of that is critical to the base story and its telling depends on your point of view, but putting the movie setting in an idealized setting detracts from its message. I found it distracting. However, if you wish to see a lot of naked pretty young people, then I can heartily recommend the film to you.

The Emerald Forest Is a Timeless Classic!
Movie synopsis Director John Boorman explores the tension between primitive and developed societies in this film starring Powers Boothe as engineer Bill Markham. While working on a dam on the Amazon in Brazil, Bill's son, Tommy (William Rodriquez), disappears while wandering in the forest, presumably kidnapped by Indians. A decade elapses, and the father continues to comb the jungle in search of the missing child, while shepherding the dam to completion. During one such search, Bill is wounded after a showdown with the Fierce People, an Indian tribe led by Jacareh (Claudio Moreno), and is rescued by a blond Indian teenager he recognizes as his son (Charley Boorman). But his joy is dimmed by the engineer's growing awareness that his son is now acculturated to a life as part of his tribe, ... Movie synopsis Director John Boorman explores the tension between primitive and developed societies in this film starring Powers Boothe as engineer Bill Markham. While working on a dam on the Amazon in Brazil, Bill's son, Tommy (William Rodriquez), disappears while wandering in the forest, presumably kidnapped by Indians. A decade elapses, and the father continues to comb the jungle in search of the missing child, while shepherding the dam to completion. During one such search, Bill is wounded after a showdown with the Fierce People, an Indian tribe led by Jacareh (Claudio Moreno), and is rescued by a blond Indian teenager he recognizes as his son (Charley Boorman). But his joy is dimmed by the engineer's growing awareness that his son is now acculturated to a life as part of his tribe, the Invisible People, and as the husband of his wife, Kachiri (Dira Pass). For him, everything beyond the jungle is now "ghost land." During the absence of the tribe's men, the Fierce People stage a raid on their village, kidnapping their young women, including Kachiri, to sell as go-go dancers and prostitutes for the dam workers. A worthy and intriguing attempt to dramatize the depredations of a supposedly civilized race on the Amazon rainforest, the film is well acted by all, including Boorman's son, Charley, and is graced by Philippe Rousselot's magnificent photography of the Amazon jungle. I love this film! I can watch this one over and over again. Timeless! A Classic indeed and worth watching. I watch this one over and over again and you can get it for a good price if you look. ENjoy~!~~~~~
