Pure thoughts (not movie reviews)

I like the subject matter very much. There are many impressive clips in the whole film. First, I met the couple in the mine, and I saw the injustice suffered by the native Indians. I have thought about the meaning of the trip and the changes it brings to me. The second is in the village where the lepers live, requiring no gloves to be integrated with them. This is a kind of respect and trust for the patients, giving them a sense of equality. The profound thing is that on the night of Fire Plug's birthday, I suddenly wanted to swim from the Anle World on this side of the river to the village where the lepers live on the opposite side. Personally, I think this episode contains too many things. First, it reminds me, When you're doing something that no one has ever done successfully before, your friends will try to discourage you from doing stupid things at first, or even yell at you, and others who don't know you even more, but When you keep doing it, and when you are 70 to 80 percent complete, their attitude will change 180 degrees. They will start cheering you on, and they will start expecting you to complete this "impossible" task. , and when you're done, they'll cheer you up and be happy for you. So it is said that "you can't live without being crazy", you have to keep doing some things you think you want. You don't need to care too much about other people's attitudes towards you. Their attitudes will change with your progress, and the most important thing is yourself. The firmness of the heart! Another (I think it is also what the film wants to convey) is to connect these two unfair worlds and bring them equality through his actions. Swimming across this river is actually a symbol of injustice and grudge crossing these two worlds.

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna: Even though we are too insignificant to be spokesmen for such a noble cause, we believe, and this journey has only confirmed this belief, that the division of American into unstable and illusory nations is a complete fiction. We are one single mestizo race from Mexico to the Magellan Straits. And so, in an attempt to free ourselves from narrow minded provincialism, I propose a toast to Peru and to a United America.
