That probably would've made an even better movie.
"Hey, we're here to hang out with you and eat people and stuff!"
"No, we're gonna eat you!"
"Wait, what the fuck?"
Seriously though, the first half actually deals with New Guinea and his stay with the local people there. There's some allusions to cannibalism early on but its held off until you get more of a sense of who Schneebaum is. The scenes where the crew actually finds the members of the tribe that took him on a raid of another village are very surreal and emotional, as are their admissions that they would rather not talk about what happened. Definite feeling of guilt, like they don't want to be cannibals, they just have to.
God that is the weirdest sentence I've ever typed.
Anyway, I went looking around on the net cause that's what I do, after the movie he said human meat tastes like pork. Next time I get a Cuban Sandwich I'm gonna vomit a little in my mouth...
