I love how all of those people were hopefully watching and seemed really invested in the situation. All of these beautiful little moments constantly going on in the world keep humanity afloat.
Fascinating & very moving. I wanted to cry when I saw the mother camel crying. Maybe camels get postpartum depression too but the Mongolian culture figured out a resolution so the baby didn’t get rejected. Celia you always post such interesting stories!
Animals of all breed have a profound and emotional response when songs are sung and played for them. I’ve seen a guy on Instagram that goes and plays a guy and sings to horses, cows, all kinds, and they all gather around him intently listening. It’s beautiful! Humans got so far removed from treating animals with reverence and respect (it went the other way), it’s really heartbreaking. What a wonderful tradition! ❤️
I understand that. It is the kind of tears, though, that come from opening your heart far wider than it’s been open before. From seeing the magnificence of life beyond comprehension. Of touching some sacred understanding and level of love humans have mostly forgotten. it’s a transcendent gift of a film.
Celia, this is my favorite movie of all time. I watched it many times when it used to be offered on Netflix many years ago when they had good stuff from all over the world. Another very good Mongolian movie in a similar vein to the Weeping Camel is “The Cave of the Yellow Dog”, another casualty of the wokening of Netflix.
Thank you Reg! We now have Saturday’s movie queued up! Would you send an email to Sylvia4Celia@gmail.com and just say “from Reg” so I have your email? I want to talk to you.
Every day around the world thousands of farmers have to work with their livestock to get mothers to accept babies. I had to do it with 3 04 4 of my alpacas (members of the camel family), no music needed. Just lots of patience.
A clear focus on the bonds of relationship humans have with animals in our world. To see the emotion released from the mother camel having been assisted by a human family that depends on their relationship with their animals for survival. Beautiful. Thank you Celia. You have a way of getting to the HEART of things.
Looking like there is a Pamir connection - some of those instruments are the other side of the desert ,like far - Krgyz . Also the Bardic women are the strongest link from west china to Azerbajan . My serbs drew me there . Silk trail(s) hoaching with serbs - from Marco Polo's ''inception .''
Tianshin mountains and Altai have always confused me by their disparate drawing power ,and the eye shape changes in Pamir - so this is an ethnic mix -also of eye shape stretching many thousands of miles .
Hallucinating sounds riding on the winds from days spent in the desert. And then, descending the crest of a sand dune before my eyes appeared an entire symphony with choir. I noticed not their faces, heard only their song. ***************
The understanding, the respect, the devotion, the love by the herdsmen for their animals runs anciently deep.
The peace, the purpose, the surrender to her maternal calling, and I think, the knowing that she is not alone in her emotional dilemma, ends in the joyous release and comfort that only heartfelt tears can express.
I've often wondered why genetic prezawlsky ( the northern Tuvan ones) resound in recognition within horses just down the road in Oostvaarders Plassen - whenever khomus is played ,from ridiculous distances - ie 300metres downwind .
But the tuning of the 9 heavens which is where Evenki shamanism is totally at odds with western ,ie russian bastardisation of the term sold through the beatles Maharashi ,in NL .
That is the most basic explanation - stubborn ,eventually compassionate camel being honoured ,played to beg it to feed its child .
Gaza is the next challenge .
Getting rid of Netanyahu ,all he represents - making him rightful prisoner ,that others may begin to hope ..
Has background ,and definatley is not Unesco originated ,the track editing is by ''Broertje'' which means 'brother' in dutch - but that shouldnt be held against it .
It is not for nothing that NL has ,several thousand miles further north recorded in writing the most recent nearly lost nomadic tongues ,from anthropologist NL women dying of cancer - except they forget to die - returning continually to tape ,speak and record the freezing siberian tongues .
(My)3 Khomus' are untuned - ie reject western tuning - therefore the animals hear meaning .
I saw the code word did you? Its UNESCO. The best propaganda films are everywhere especially on the tuuube and are also found on Netflix.
The first one that comes to mind is Baby Reindeer. That was said to be a modern, military-grade morality tale by some. I too saw it as that.
Now there is another that was exposed - a Thai zombie apocalypse jobby as described by the viewer. It is how a zombie apocalypse is framed as a public health crisis caused by climate change - here if you like to believe in climate change - https://nicholascreed.substack.com/p/infecting-the-masses

I used to have a horse that would come up to the house and listen by the kitchen window when i was playing the stereo and working inside.
I used to have a horse that would present its posterior and defecate whenever I played the violin as a teenager .
So beautiful! Have you seen My Octopus Teacher? Another glorious and profoundly moving film. Deservedly won the Oscar that year.
I have not yet. I want to but afraid I will cry and cry.

Didnt stop me .
The video was very moving. I wish the US would stand by tradition and culture like these people.
You mean not genocide ?

The Gobi desertscape, those faces, the soulful bridging and bonding between man and animal and her young. All combined in a land without time.

Such a beautiful movie. Your post made me go back and watch it again. Thank you!
