Six Six,
There was a movie released back in 2001 that won a bunch of awards called 'The Fast Runner'. Here's a quote from a web page about the movie subject: Quote: Evil in the form of an unknown shaman divides a small community of nomadic Inuit, upsetting its balance and spirit. Twenty years pass. Two brothers emerge to challenge the evil order: Amaqjuaq, the Strong One, and Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner. Atanarjuat wins the hand of the lovely Atuat away from the boastful son of the camp leader, Oki, who vows to get even. Oki ambushes the brothers in their sleep, killing Amaqjuaq, as Atanarjuat miraculously escapes running naked over the spring sea ice. But can he ever escape the cycle of vengeance left behind? End Quote. (url is: http://atanarjuat.com/media_centre/Atan_pres skit.doc) By the way, the conversation is all in the Inuit language, so I had to read the subtitles to understand. Part of the Inuit's costumes include what I would call 'ancient sunglasses.' Since at that time many, many years ago when the movie was set there were no glasses at all, tinted or otherwise, and the people wore what looked like a type of long and skinny sea shell over their eyes, with a small horizontal slit cut in it. In the movie, it looked like an effective substitute for sunglasses. So, they limited the amount of light entering their eyes on the intensely glaring ice floes of Canada. I don't think the actors were wearing 'war paint' black smudges as well. As for a mix of the black grease smudges and sunglasses, current day baseball players wear both as do football players. The football players use a tinted face shield rather than glasses, though. Maybe this black face paint grease is something to add to the pouch in the cockpit. Apply after releasing from tow and wipe off before landing... |
