(1927) Chang: A Drama Of The Wilderness SILENT DRAMA DOCUMENTARY

A running time of less than a hour and a half, came from someone whose responsible for some of the most influential films of all time such as "The Most Dangerous Game", "The Searchers" and "King Kong" who either received director or producing credit by the name of Merian C. Cooper, directed this early- part drama, part documentary film alongside Ernest B. Schoedsack which basically showcases natives survival while living in the jungle during the time of the century! And what this film showcases is the way particular natives used to live in their inhabitant before the first electronic device, as well as their reliance with other jungle animals such as monkeys, goats and especially elephants which the natives refer to them as "Changs" as the title of the film indicates! Although not as effective anymore, since time may have impacted this film a lot since a lot has changed where all sorts of tigers and cheetahs etc... are becoming more scarce and are now part of animal conservation, this film is still very involving.
