AGANTUK as a movie

At the end of this movie, there is a dance ritual done by the niece of a so-called stranger with native women. This movie is all about the deep division and suspicion buried with modern and civilized beings.

As clearly stated, when the stranger travels across the tribal and “savage “ classes of the world he was invited with no doubts or suspicions about his intention or about his character. But in his own family, he is questioned and doubted for being an imposter.

The way this entire movie flows is amazing and for a person who views movie from the perspective of effort put in but the director and actors. This is a feast in all sense. Such a comprehensive title presented in one of the most eloquent manners. One of the most important characteristics of this move is the way it unfolds from receiving a letter from a long lost uncle to questioning his character and right to be here.

Every scene is so precise that you feel, it happens in your real-time and you are also involved in this matter.

Moreover, the explanation stranger gives for his reason for traveling the world, red bull cave painting in Spain and how he follows it throughout the world. To know that wanderlust is not just a insta hashtag but a real-life bug that once bite you then you are going to go with it.

And also the immense courage that one needs to follow that lifestyle of not caring about your society, which in the first case was made to make you feel safe.

Agantuk to our society

This movie is a real example of why this entire concept of society was made and how we humans became the salve of our own invention. A social principle created as part of our evolutionary phase, or in a more clear manner an evolutionary vector created as part of our species growth. But then the comfort it provides was so effective that we as a group never evolved from it.

Now questioning our way of living is not as effective as it used to be, because a cyber infusion is happening in our society in such an effective manner that nothing matters unless you have a cyber imprint of your presence.

Move on stranger

Nothing much to do , that is the status of the world. If you need to move on just do it. And then don't worry about others and how they react because as a group we are completely dependent on each other. And how far we could go as a stranger, that is your ability to stay away and be connected to this world from your own personal phase.
