Eagle Huntress is a very wonderful film instead. Very beautifully made. To tell you the truth. At the beginning of it I really thought I was watching Planet Earth.
For furture suggestion, I highly recommend doing a Crash Course of Planet Earth. You should also do a critic on Birth of a Nation. The film that started the film industry and the one that gave us cinematic techniques that most film makers take for granted. DW Griffith was ahead of his time when it came to film production and direction. He also created a little gem called Broken Blossom. A film that criticizes against domestic violence and violence towards children in particular. Keep in mind 1920s was still a time in which children didn't have much of a childhood as todays' kids. Child Labor laws and laws against physically beating your kids to the point was death weren't enforced. Dw Griffith created Broken Blossom to showcase the dangers of domestic violence and cruelty towards others. It really demonstrate the importance of being compassionate towards others, especially the weaker members of our society. Anyways I'm going to view your other Film Criticism pieces. Thank you.

If you want to learn how the film and the filmmaker whitewashed the eagle hunting festival in Western Mongolia and the heft of a win at one of them all you have to do is research. Start here: -Human and Raptor Interactions in the Context of a Nomadic Society Anthropological and Ethno-Ornithological Studies of Altaic Kazakh Falconry and its Cultural Sustainability in Western Mongolia- by Takuya Soma, 2015. Or the research study by Nolan R. Ebner is findablecwith search terms -when the hunt is over- and -Altaic eagle festivals-. By reading these research papers you will learn just how unresearched, slanted, and lucratively misinforming the film is in its portrayal of the culture and the festivals. Tourism is up by 40% and is one (relatively small, there are MUCH bigger) reason -nobody talks about the film because everybody knows it is a made up story-. See below comment. It is sad how little actual research went into this video. The whole idea that Bell was -embedded- is a joke. He took 6 trips lasting a few weeks at a time. The man was on an exploitative mission. You'll see. Follow the money.

As a Mongolian and a long time CC fan, I'm glad we got something different from you guys than just Mongol-tage. (Not that I'm complaining though) I've met Aisholpan in real life when they screened the movie and my god she seemed so nice. I also like your point on not making the culture extremely exotic by showing the city and cars, because many people still assume that we live in the past. If you see this comment, please make a video about Mongolian gobi desert bears, aka Mazaalai. There are only 30 of them left and I feel like the world needs to know about this extraordinary creature. I mean, we practically saved the pandas because they're cute, why not act the same way to a scruffy looking gobi desert bear, right?

The film had some nice shots but I wasn't able really to cheer for the protagonist. Her victory felt kinda. cheap. She won a competition over her competitors who had over decades more experience while she trained for like a weak or 2. At least that is how it seems from the film. I am not saying that she cheated or anything but it kinda goes against tradition hero story in which the protagonists earns his victory by long struggle and training.

I will be making a big smoking gun exposure about this film that will roundly challenge the veracity of the claim that it is a documentary. Ignorance is bliss. I found evidence that bypassed every veracity fact checker since day one. Fans of empowerment, female or male, will be in for one hell of a surprise. Stay tuned by following MeghanfjFitz on Twitter.

Bald eagles are in the Americas. Why did your graphic art team have to show an American bird instead of the traditional Mongolian eagle of that area? You thought maybe no one in the rest of the world knows what other eagle breeds look like?

So, in the end, the film was about as accurate as Nanook of the North but chose to lie about different things. In the end it's probably safer to describe this as a regular movie 'inspired by true events' rather than a documentary.

But if this documentary is just fiction, should be praise as a documentary? It's well made and pretty to watch, but if the story that it wants to tell is kinda of false. well, what's it's worth then?

We should also give credit to Daisy Ridley, because if I'm not mistaken as soon as she became famous and wealthy, she has showed an interest in producing/sponsoring to make this film come to life! :)

I felt that the story was a little to forced upon the real life happenings. The story the documentarian was trying to use was weak but the actual events overpowered this.
