Wissenswertes
Three well-known persons appear uncredited: Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania, Richard Gordon Turnbull, the last colonial governor of Tanganyika, and Moise Tshombe, a Congolese politician who returned to Congo to "stop the rebellion" and died three years after this film was made.

Patzer
There's a scene that shows bodies lined on the ground outside because of lack of space in the morgue, and are surrounded by birds. The subtitles say "The vultures are patiently waiting for their turn, after the operation." The birds are not vultures, but pelicans.

Zitate
[last lines]
Narrator: At the end of the Ice Age, a warm current broke this little colony of penguins off of the glaciers of the south and carried them here on huge rafts of ice that melted in the sun. Isolated and without the possibility of returning to their original homeland, they have for centuries been strangers in a strange land that is becoming more and more heated and hostile toward them surrounded by a sea that grows higher and more and more filled with rage. Perhaps a little peace will descend upon these waters sooner or later, before a wave stronger than the others tears them away forever from this last rock that forms the geographic end of the Dark Continent.

Alternative Versionen
Before receiving a UK cinema certificate the film was cut by over 12 minutes and was missing all footage of rotting human corpses and animal killings.

As Beautiful as it is Violent

Quite the conundrum, 80% of the comments focus only on the violence, which is extreme and relentless at times. It should also be noted that the film clocks in at 2 hours and 20 minutes, and, there is a whole other world being presented when the violence stops. Quite simply, the cinematography will knock your socks off; we're talking major motion picture stuff with an original score that keeps evolving and is quite breathtaking(i still haven't seen this on a big screen but, wow). Speaking of breathtaking, visually this film is a feast for the eyes, it's hard to believe at times that i'm watching a documentary; a documentary that will open you up and get inside you and everyone that sees it, with no pun intended and no shame. As someone else said here, it is 'an uneasy time capsule'. The brutality, perfectly balanced with tender and profound beauty. Real situations balanced with oddity and humor.

I mean, the directors won an Oscar for cinematography just before this and at one part of the film they are a breath away from being executed, only to be saved by an officer who points out that they are Italian. Now in 2009, and every day forward until the end of civilization, this collection of moving pictures becomes more and more potent, gaining credence with every new low that so-called 'modern' humanity sinks to, with the temporal yet exquisite fruits of it's labor always just out of reach of the masses. AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE
