Are there any other film such as this sort?

yet to see it but apparently there is another movie coming out soon that's basically the same as this one. van diemen's land, but check out the proposition. that might be something you are looking for.

I haven't seen this film yet, but if you're looking for something with a similar topic -- that might also fit your artistic requests -- I suggest Ravenous (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129332/), which, like The Proposition, also features Guy Pearce.


Tho it is dark . . . know our flag . . . is still there.

ABC = Already Been Canceled.

Regarding Alexander Pearce, there is a fictional movie called, Dying Breed. Also Van Diemens Land which tells of the true conditions they lived in. This movie is not factual in that it shows the prison camp as being habitable, which it was not at all. It was very gruelling, and it does show that a bit in this movie too, but doesn't show the true conditions they had to live in.

However, if you really want to a more recent true story that occurred in my lifetime is "Alive." It was about the Andes plane crash in 1972 with the Rugby team where the pilot hit a mountain, probably due to the altitude they were flying where the pilot became very disoriented, there is a name for what happened.

Anyway, the movie is very factual about what happened. The search was called off leaving them stranded with no sign of hope of a rescue and left to fend for themselves. They were there for two months before three guys went to try to get help. They had to resort to cannibalism in order to survive. We read it when I was in the 6th grade, though I think we got the edited version. It is a true story and it was very good, well worth watching.

The Donner Party is another one, but I was not impressed with that one, but that really happened too. I don't know if there was an earlier film about the Donner Party, but the new one is not very good.

Ravenous. starring Guy Pearce. very good

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

but I was thinking more of the acting and how it was an accurate period film.
I don't really care for other cannibal movies.

I had never heard of this guy until I watched the movie,
and I don't think this movie is all about cannibalism, it's more about a man and what he is faced to do in order to survive, and how society reacts to that.

Survival is strong provoker, and the way it was shown in this movie it the reason this film is still on my top ten list.


And I've watched 'Alive', and it did an amazing job portraying the situation/story of the plane crash survivors without villainizing them.
However I don’t think I’m going to watch the other movies just yet, I have definitely touched my limit in that subject.

On a side note, if anyone really enjoyed the pace of the movie, I would definitely recommend No Country for Old Men. It paints an interesting picture of the southwest, and has a similar flow to TLCoAP.
But it is a totally different movie, don’t get me wrong.
