starry sky and ocean

Adventure, the courage to go into the unknown, perhaps called faith and will, let human beings break free from the limitations of the body and spirit, and strive to approach the infinity of the universe. Zhuangzi said that it is very dangerous to pursue unlimited knowledge with a limited life. This is the philosophy of "survival" in a social system with absolutely no rational expectations. But aside from the alienation of the system, in fact, the human sense of fear will also cast doubt on this belief, and then retreat to the known realm and be content with the status quo.

When Thor Heyerdahl and his companions lay on the raft and looked up at the starry sky, rippling in the ocean with blue dim light beneath them, I thought, break through the shackles of all life, cast aside the fear of the unknown, and go out, Embrace my freedom. I don't have the courage to "abandon my wife" like Thor, but we can find ourselves a little bit and be a little bit more of ourselves every day, which is what I think when facing the blue sky and ocean.

I love this video, I love how realistic it is. The dullness, loneliness, fear, compromise, firmness, courage, doubt and confrontation in the voyage show the diversity of human nature. Happiness, Russell said, comes from being uneven. Probably means that. I also firmly believe that the diversity of life opens the poetic life. The sense of reality that the film made me experience is more derived from the truth, goodness and beauty of nature.

Maybe everyone has a piece of sky. In my sky, there is the poetic ink painting of green hills and twilight clouds, the magnificent formation of the radiant rays of the sun, and the chirping of birds across the sky...My earth, the bees burrow into the white primroses The flowers, the petals bloom in the buzzing sound, a dead branch is broken, and waving in the dry husk of the peacock grass, there will be a crisp and rustling melody. , vaguely to far, far away. One day, someone told me that the other side of the rainbow is far, far away, and he must go to the other side of the rainbow, because he has already been there. So, there was a rainbow in my sky, and the road ahead was vaguely towards the other side of the rainbow.

Maybe, one day, you will suddenly realize that the rainbow is just a phantom, it is fleeting, and the sky is still beautiful. Drop the phantom, the rainbow is not there. But at least, we tried. Then, move on to the unknown freedom.

    The idealism and adventurous spirit of "chasing the sunset with the rest of my life" always makes people extremely moved, but the filming is soft and sensational, "still half-covered with music", and it is nondescript. On the contrary, the real documentary that won the best documentary in the 70 years of the voyage is really worth seeing. As a whole, this film basically exceeded expectations by being nominated for the best foreign language film.

    Tiki is not Tahiti, at first I thought it would be ~ not bad, for the ideal film is given five stars, and this is only worth three stars. .

Kon-Tiki quotes

  • Thor Heyerdahl: I've heard that drowning is the best way to die.

    Erik Hesselberg: Well, not exactly. You might manage for a minute, until you breathe out of reflex. Your lungs fill with water, you choke. and the acid created by the salt water in your stomach makes it feel like you burn up inside. And it makes your heart kick in, forcing you to breathe again - more water. You lose control, and then you finally die. All in all, three or four minutes.

    Thor Heyerdahl: Hold on. What about my life flashing past?

    Erik Hesselberg: Yeah, that's the worst part.

    [both chuckle]

  • Liv Heyerdahl: Did not you know that the first Polynesians came from the west? Imagine to paddle all the way from Asia against the current.
