Films like these....(spoilers)
Are the narrated stories in films like this one real or are they just made up for dramatic effect? For sure, this was a great film with a pretty awesome story. But one could easily see how most or all of it could have been made up with some clever editing.
For example, perhaps both cubs were killed by the buffalos, and the scenes which showed the male cub back were from previously shot footage. And the group of females that were trying to kill the lone lioness and her cubs the whole time suddenly have a change of heart, join her, and they all fight together to fight the buffalos? Could you honestly tell any of them other than "silver eye" apart? Maybe it was just the group, less the long lioness, fighting. Or it could have been ANY group of female lions fighting some buffalos. The hawk coming in to finish off the crippled female cub? Could have just been stock footage of a hawk...I think you see where I'm going with this.
Anyone have any thoughts?
