Cold Fever. Jordan Duling 12-4-10

The film, Cold Fever follows a japanese businessman traveling through Iceland in search of the river where his parents had tragically drowned seven years prior. This film show the importance of ritual and the effects it has on the human spirit. How was the protagonist changed throughout the film? This is a question we were asked in class. I found that the answer is quite simple... The ritual that was enacted in the movie showed the main character that tradition and family is ever important. The workings of the business world will come and go, but traditions and the love of family are forever.
