Earthlings - Ugly Bags Of Mostly Water
Earthlings - Ugly Bags Of Mostly Water : short review
Earthlings is a fascinating and often amusing documentary that explores the 'Trekkie' (aka: 'Trekker') phenomenon and Klingon language. Interviews of KLI members (Linguists, Psychologists, Star Trek fans and steadfast individualists), reveal the intellectual, fraternal, liberating and no-nonsense, direct qualities they enjoy within the constructed-from-pop-culture Klingon language. From Louise Witty, who becomes fascinated with the language from her interest in Star Trek boots (and then fabricates and sells them) to a Paintball King who shouts strategic, military movements in the Klingon tongue, Earthlings examines the interplay between culture and language, communication and emotion, and the rather delicate line between reality and fiction.
