    • Quotes

      Missionary: The Lord be with you.

      Inuk: No, just Asiak, Powtee and me. We do not know Lord.

      Missionary: A very short sleep ago, you both offended Him.

      Inuk: Oh, we did not know. One must apologize.

      Missionary: If you will listen to my words and believe in me,the Lord will come and stay with you and follow you in all your travels.

      Asiak: [whispers to Inuk] We do not want another with us.

      Inuk: Maybe he good hunter.

      [to Missionary]

      Inuk: We will be pleased if your friend comes with us.

      Asiak: He must bring his own sled. Will this Lord bring everything He needs?

      Missionary: He will bring you faith.

      Inuk: [Puzzled look on face] Faith?

      Missionary: That wonderful light that drives back the shadows of sin.

      Inuk: [after a moment's thought] OH, light, LIGHT, ahhh...

      Asiak: It is good, Inuk,if it is the kind at the trading post, we could save it up for the winter, and our eyes will not get tired anymore...

      Inuk: [Offering missionary a bowl of food with live worms wriggling in it] Here is something you will like...

      Missionary: [Pushing bowl away] I come to give, not to receive.

      Asiak: It is old marrow, it is much better, it is old and full of worms...

      Missionary: Maybe another time, not right now.

      Inuk: [whispers to Asiak] Has this white man come to insult us?

      Missionary: Men don't live by bread alone.

      Asiak: [to Inuk] Maybe he wants to laugh with a woman.

    An excellent movie
    In the late sixties, bob dylan was asked how he came to write the song "Quinn the Eskimo". He replied that he'd seen this movie in which Tony Quinn played an Eskimo. The Savage Innocents is that movie. (In a much later book about his lyrics, Dylan says he doesn't remember how the song came about- like many of us, ol' bob's memory ain't what it used to be.)

    This is the most accurate portrayal of Eskimo customs ever to come out of Hollywierd. It contrasts the cultural practices of Inuit and North American societies at a time when many Inuit people had not yet encountered the white man and his ways. The movie asks the question "who is savage and who is innocent?" The movie is full of memorable performances and "sound bites". You'll come away with a new appreciation for traditional Eskimo culture and more than a few new quotable quotes.

    When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna jump for joy!
