Koji Mamas of Columbia... (SPOILER ALERT)


I have to give props to Rob Schneider for making this movie and introducing to the world the Koji Mamas of Columbia. That's who they were really describing but the indigenous tribe was given a different name in the movie. I have read about them and there is something very powerfully metaphysical mystical and magical about them. I'm not quite sure what Rob Schneider was trying to say with this movie but it was an interesting journey anyway. I'm just happy with the way that he portrayed the indigenous people in this movie. They really do look like that. And they have a way of assimilating you instead of you assimilating them. I'm guessing this project must have been deeply personal to Rob Schneider since making this type of movie is very tricky to pull off. It had a certain unfinished quality about it which is unfortunate since I really wanted to see where the story was really going. Rob Schneider was the Chosen One to return a nest that had been taken away from a Hawk on a New York rooftop which had significant spiritual ramifications for the indigenous people. As beautiful as I find that to be, it seemed a bit underdeveloped as far as movie land is concerned. It needed to be just a little bit more complete. I don't mean that to be too harsh of a criticism because over all I really like the movie as a whole. The cinematography was good. The editing was good. But the picture quality was horrible. It looked like a really bad bootleg. And I rented it on Blue-Ray. If you can get past that, it is worth a viewing, especially if indigenous shamanism is a topic of interest. I would really love to see what Rob would do with this movie if he had more resources to complete it.

Let me correct you.

When correcting someone, try using correct grammar.

"Is Kogi."

Not sure what that means. "It's Kogi" is at least an actual sentence, but still vague. Even though I understand that, well, sometimes people simply mistype or have mediocre to poor grammar who leave posts on the internet, but since I am a "good person" I do understand you meant to type "It's Kogi.".

I wouldn't be responding to you had your post not been so ignorant. When you reply online responding to a post in such a condescending way. This usually shows that you have a superiority complex... in such need to correct and troll others online. But I hope it makes you feel better, truly.

Also, in future instances I would like to strongly suggest that you not start a sentence with "AND", it's quite unusual.

"And they are from Colombia not Columbia".


PS: While the original post actually does explain some interesting things, the second post correcting is correcting it with 2nd grade grammar.

Juacas, do you enjoy correcting people incorrectly while you troll around IMDB? Does it make you feel good about yourself?
