Not everyone is lucky enough to die of their own obsession

Finally waiting for the full version of the resource. I've had the addiction of not going to the cinema.

In good conscience, a low rating should be more than just being cut for 30 minutes by a hooligan. In order to complete the three expeditions, each time the rainforest drama seems very unfinished, feeling that the climax has not yet come, the protagonist will go home! And he returned very quickly. One second, his body was wet, and the next second, he went to a meeting in a straight suit.

The war scene is also very nonsensical, and it is a little bit... Saying it means not saying it, it seems to have no meaning.

As soon as the expectant first mate heard the call to explore again, the plot that he joined with enthusiasm did not come, and it was not a flaw, but it was a pity. The expected plot of Murray's fat boy dressing up to take revenge on the male protagonist is nowhere to be found, so why do you say "wait to see how good I am". The expected plot of the male protagonist and the son's soul exchange strength to reverse the relationship between the father and son is also lost, and the son suddenly becomes enlightened and has to follow in the footsteps of Laozi. Is it because he has done 5 years of college entrance examination and 3 years of simulation, and suddenly he has everything right before the college entrance examination. ? Forced explanation can only say "adventurous spirit rooted in blood", it is too difficult for the audience, okay?

However, two and a half hours is not difficult. Although the male protagonist is not handsome enough, he has the spirit of a king. Although every journey is not satisfactory, as long as there is his expedition, it is exciting. The family has a virtuous wife and a filial son on the knees. The solemnity brought by the solemn sacrifice ceremony at the end is even more moving. Not everyone has the opportunity to die of their own obsession, and not everyone has a strong company on the journey.

Perhaps the meaning of this movie is not to tell the life of a great explorer, nor to explore the value of the existence of mysterious tribes.
