"Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner" - Wikipedia

"Despite the emphasis on accuracy, the film takes liberties with the original Inuit myth: "At the film's core is a crucial lie", wrote Justin Shubow in The American Prospect,[13] which is that the original legend ended in a revenge killing, whereas in the film Atanarjuat stops short of shedding blood. Kunuk felt this was "A message more fitting for our times", and agreed that it "probably" reflected the influence of Christianity and its concept of forgiveness on contemporary Inuit.[13]"
Could this also have helped with the whole patriarchal (almost said "adolescent" but not entirely sure about that) madonna / whore atmospheric thing the film's got going on (it came out two decades ago).
