Thanks to Kenny Sia, I was made known to this movie. Kenny was trying to justify why we should dedicated "datuk-ship" to Jessica Alba. (rolleyes ~ MEN!)
Back to this movie, it is about how the Iban send their local girls to the Caucasian to learn about the Iban culture and language by having sex with them. I am sure that is probably the most efficient way to go. Not sure how true the story is though.
Anyway, it made me think of "tales" that I heard about men who work for the logging company in the woods. How these men started "second" family in the woods. I won't mention names here but apparently that is what they do? is it for the same reason? The sleeping dictionary and fell in love eventually?
Well, I suppose lining in the woods is tough especially coming from civilized territory. By knowing someone who lives there do help a bit. They will give the insight information which in turn helps to blend in more with the native and adapt their way of living.
Some (Read: Women! Probably said it out of jealousy!) commented that the native girls are easy in the woods because they were poor and probably need the support for living. When you think of it, wouldn't they survive with the "resources" (wildlife, vegetation, etc) in the woods?
One of the "auntie" I know (Read: not my real aunt) said that she knew her husband had someone else in the woods. She did not bother confronting him as long as he comes back to her and he did. I asked her why is she so convince about her husband's adultery? She found out when they went on holiday once and all he bought was kids stuff. (All of their kids are grown up now) Those stuff disappeared when he left for the woods. Couldn't he be getting gifts for native tribe in the woods?
Anyway, if "auntie" instinct was true....poor kids never get to meet their step brothers and sisters. Now the logging business is no longer active (or should i say not as active as it used to be), this "uncle" does not go back to the woods family. What happen to them then?
Would it cause this "uncle" grief not having to reunite with his "second" family? Hmm...
**** **** ****
Look at her!! Who wouldn't fall for her? God! I am a woman and I, too, find her fascinating! (No, I am not lesbian. I love men very much! *laugh*)
For more about the movie, please visit Kenny's blog. He gave some "in depth" information. *wink*

Interesting... I haven't watch this movie though. Should get it in hands soon.
All these things not only happened in the wood lah. Take for example the angmor from other country who work here. They would get a "second wife" and give the wife everything for as long as they have a partner. After they finish their contract, they would go back to their own country and then left the wife in here with house, car and maybe a lump sum of money (enough for them to survive for 10 or 20 years).
I guess they understand the "deal" between them. So, one party get a partner, and one party get materials. ;)
It is sad how people would exchange "love" for money or material. :(
Hmm... I guess, that's the best "win-win" solution for some of them out there...
