Fair use rationale for Image:Hatari.jpg

Image:Hatari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Setting and local people

It's notable and surprising that this movie is set in rural Tanganyika, but the native people only appear in the movie as 'wallpaper'. None is named, none speaks on screen, none is even uncredited cast, even though a chimp is named.

It makes the ensemble cast seem very lopsided - they evidently work daily with local men, the local people are shown, but are not people so far as the lens is concerned. Very strange. It could have been filmed on a lavish set in the US with zoo animals.

Has anyone an idea how to put this perspective across in a balanced way? Centrepull (talk) 22:04, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs some updates after Hatari! was released on 4K Blu-ray disk in 2024

This article needs some updates and improvements: 60+ years after the movie was made, we now see that era with its style and manners from a today's more progressive and modern gamut of many different viewpoints which may be simplified and amplified as conflicts of opinions, or cultural differences, or misunderstandings, or just a simple lack of knowledge. It takes serious collaborative and intellectually adequate efforts to establish respectful understanding between varieties of different cultures. So let's do it!

First: Although this movie was and still is popular and rather notable after all these years since its premiere in the early 60s, it is the contemporary assessment that makes a 21st Century viewers aware of some scenes with animal cruelty, gender inequality, racial relations and other issues that were not addressed at the time of production.

Second: sometimes our eyes are jaded not only by negative opinions, but also by bad copies and poor picture quality. Recently, in December of 2024, the movie Hatari! was released on 4K Blu-ray disk made from a new hi-rez scan by Kino Lorber. Picture quality is very realistic and the color gamut looks really nice, as well, as the sound quality.

Last, but not least: At that time, there were no computerized editing, nor digital effects, so everything we see in the movie is real and crude like it is in the wild life, just as shown in some current BBC Nature series. So, while being rather provocative and disputable, especially in filming scenes of catching wild animals, such as rhinos and giraffes, the movie remains a rare document of that time.
