I haven't seen this yet, but the plot sounds a bit like that of a movie called "Loch Ness", with Ted Danson and Joely Richardson. I really enjoyed that one -- a sweet, but not syrupy, story, and it had a great Scottish flavor. I hope this movie will be similar in tone and atmosphere.
de gustibus non est disputandum
It's based on the Ogopogo from B.C. I was a little dissapointed about them not naming it the Ogopogo but a group of Natives who have absolutly no connection with the story complained that Ogopogo was a sacred name. It's not the native name the native name for the creature is Khnitak or something like that it means water demon. Ogo pogo was a joke a name that stuck it has something to do with england so they really didn't need to change the name. Anyway just for the record the Ogo pogo legend has been going on as long if not longer then lock ness it was a native legend passed down for centuries.
shareThe first written report of Nessie was in 565AD. I would think that's a little before Naitaka (Ogopogo is a made-up palindrome) although the local people probably didn't have a written language then.
Naitaka, or N'ha-aitk, means 'sacred creature of the water', by the way.
I've been reading about Ogopogo. Been to British Columbia before, even got a little stuffed animal of it when I was a kid. Little green snake thing with it's tongue sticking out.
The creature has been featured on shows like In Search Of... with Leonard Nimoy and Unsolved Mysteries.
