It is not so much an adventure film as it is a biographical life of an adventurer. It does not focus on depicting the excitement and danger of jungle exploration in a routine way, but outlines beautiful colors in the hearts of family teammates and his heart.

From the beginning, the male protagonist just wanted a proper title to rise up in the hierarchy, but in the course of his adventure, he found that chasing the unknown is wider than getting a high status, and at the end of the film, the wife walked out of the door and walked into the jungle as if walking In the footsteps of the male protagonist, it seems that he has entered the road of extravagance, and he follows him all the way.

On the other hand, the splendour of the aristocrats outlined in the picture contrasts with the gloomy colors of the Amazon jungle and the Golden City, and the singing and dancing in the manor is in contrast with the environment and various twists and turns of the sounds of birds, animals and trees in the jungle. But the male protagonist finally chose to continue to look for Z city, embark on an unknown road, and abandon the life he once wanted to have. This seems to be the sublimation of this film, and explores how we should spend our lives.
