While walking, the young man receives a whipping until he falls and dies.

Bernard and Lenina watch a ritual dance of sacrifice to the gods Pookong and Jesus, where a young man slowly proceeds around a pile of snakes in the center of the Pueblo square. However, Bernard feels a strange fascination with the scene. She then discovers that both she and Bernard forgot their soma, so she has to see the village consciously rather than through the veil of the narcotic. Since there is no live birth in the outside society, Lenina finds the scene of a woman nursing a child to be disgusting. If you are interested in seeing it, the film (and the worse Nimoy version) are available to watch on YouTube.The Indian guide leads Bernard and Lenina into the reservation, where the smells and the sight of poverty, disease, and old age immediately assault them. And, the story itself is so good even a lower-budgeted TV version like this one is worth your time. It does look a tad dated but overall it's still much better than the ultra-bland later Leonard Nimoy version of the story. As for the rest of the story, it generally was well done at showing the vacuousness of the future engineered society-and the use of drugs, genetics and sex to keep everyone dumb and happy.

Much of it could be because it was so obvious since the film was a bit overlong. I found it wearisome after a while hearing him talking in Shakespearean lingo.something not as ever-present in the book. Well, I sure was surprised, as I really didn't love the film nearly as much as I once did-much of it due to the really annoying way that John the Savage talked. I loved the book and its prescient look at the future of mankind and now, decades later, I decided to watch this television adaptation once again. When I saw this television film back in 1980, I was captivated-so captivated that I almost immediately went out and read the source material, the Aldous Huxley novel.
