Hi Ukraine,

Cannibalism appeared in a couple of dreams. One in particular that was really sad was about a mother who was starving to death. . . anyway, yeah.

I did have first hand observation of the physical effects of cannibalism many years ago. I lived in a remote village on the island of Papua New Guinea for a couple of years. The sorcerers got power from eating human flesh and blood. They believed they were taking the power of their victim into themselves. I saw six men try to contain one cannibal that had lost his mind. He seemed supernaturally strong.

I think that actually he was not feeling pain, and this made him appear stronger. It was also apparent that after eating human flesh repeatedly, insanity would result. Because I had seen this firsthand, I incorporated it into the screenplay.
