本片为观众揭开南太平洋独有的文化历史,以及海洋中星罗棋布的岛屿的野生生态。摄制队于不同岛屿发现了南太平洋一系列令人赞叹的自然景观,包括难得一见的海底火山爆发、壮丽的宝石珊瑚礁、虎鲨猎获信天翁的一刻以及能撕开椰子的陆上巨蟹……在一些被隔离的孤岛上,更发现了特别进化的食肉毛虫、有耐寒能力的吸血虫、于交配时会发出像牛蛙一样叫声的怪叫鹦鹉及尾巴像猴子尾的小蜥蜴。
南太平洋的土著是地球上最僻远的人类社会,他们会为大家细说祖先们是如何由千里多外迁徙到岛上定居。时至今日,当地居民仍依赖庄稼和捕猎为生,他们拥有独特生存技巧及保留了一些奇异的风俗仪式。。Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut.
