This is a story about an explorer. The most worthy of summarizing the whole movie is the ending of the story, what the male protagonist said when the male protagonist and his son thought that they were going to be killed by the indigenous people, human beings know too little about the world, and people like them explore. The process has been an experience that countless people have never had. And this experience can give them peace of mind. The scene where the father and son were calmly lifted up by the natives for the ceremony really showed an extremely strong heart. The kind of courage that only adventurers have in the face of death.
From the very beginning of the film, it has created an ambitious but lacking background male image. Britain at that time was a gentry society, and family background, prestige, and glory were more important things than life for a man. The fat aristocrats who participated in the expedition for the second time were the greatest irony of this class society. Having status does not really mean having courage or self-esteem. After the male protagonist gave him the only horse in the team and enough food, he actually destroyed the rest of the food, making the second expedition have to fail. The most shameful thing is that he still has to sue the male protagonist and his partner in order to maintain his visible reputation, which is extremely ironic.
The wife of the male protagonist in the movie is really a great woman. It is hard to imagine that her husband will go out for a few years, or even never come back, but she always insists on supporting her husband and even her son.
The whole movie is relatively long and requires a relatively quiet environment to watch it. Generally speaking, it is very delicate and worth watching.
