Lost City of Z: Destroyed by the Sword

Watched two movies related to World War I today, one "Wonder Woman" and the other "The Lost City of Z". However, the first was destroyed by comparison, and the second was killed by the knife.
In terms of the clips broadcast in China, the film uses the outdated theme of treasure hunting and exploration, as well as the habit of "beginning to come and go freely, and then there is no return" to tell the story of the father-son family, the spirit of exploration, family and career, and human nature. both sides of the topic. Unlike the humorous and surprising adventures of Indiana Jones, the hero is shrouded in tragedy from the start, and his adventures are more like dissecting himself.
The male protagonist entered the inaccessible South American jungle three times, and then fought and killed the enemy in World War I. Over the years, his motivations have changed dramatically: first for rank, honor and courting others, then for family and each other. However, even if he remembers his wife before being executed by the natives, the debt to the family will never be repaid. He was an excellent explorer, a frustrated soldier, and a neglected father.
The life of the male protagonist is the same as that of many well-known scholars and artists: he was regarded as a lunatic at first, and was praised by the world after his death. Public opinion can be manipulated, and people's eyes are not necessarily sharp. When WG, unanimously agreed that LSQ was a traitor, traitor, and scab, and when rehabilitated, unanimously agreed that he was wronged. A group of fools so easily decide the life and death of a wise man, it is the tragedy of talents and the tragedy of society.
It's a pity that this movie, which was rated quite well abroad, was cut for 37 minutes when it was introduced into China, which made the whole movie fragmented. The plot is not complete, what about the ideology? This seriously affected the box office and ratings of "The Lost City of Z" in China. A reform is imperative.

The Lost City of Z quotes

  • Jack Fawcett: I understand that it's dangerous, but you've said so yourself, with everything that's happened in Europe, it's not possible to choose a safe passage through life. So many men near my own age did not return from the war, and... And who is to say it will not happen again? It could, mother. It could happen again.

    Nina Fawcett: By all accounts, I should be furious because you've just... You've just used my very own words against me. And how can I refute them? They are my own.

  • [last lines]

    Nina Fawcett: [handing him the timepiece] The Brazilian gave me this to give to you. He said Percy told him you would understand. I have trained myself to be impartial to evidence, but surely... surely this is a sign.

    Sir John Scott Keltie: Yes. I will have it examined.

    Nina Fawcett: Thank you. That is all I can ask.
