In 2012, the sea adventure feature film "Lonely Raft", filmed by Norway, told the thrilling journey of the six-person Tiki bamboo raft across the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was initiated by the protagonist, Captain Ball, to prove that the Polynesian aboriginal ancestors came from South America rather than Asia, as commonly believed by contemporary intellectuals. One of the basis for Bol's bold vision is that the local pineapples are the same variety as the pineapples in Peru, South America. Another point is that he got a legend from the natives, saying that his ancestor, the sun god "Tiki", took a bamboo raft 1500 years ago, and floated across the vast sea to Polynesia in the direction of the setting of the sun. As an anthropologist, Bohr is also an out-and-out explorer. In order to support his view and prove it to the academic world, he is determined to build a simple bamboo raft according to the primitive method adopted by the ancestors of the Polynesians 1500 years ago. Sailboats, tied logs with hemp ropes, set up sails, tents. Under the influence of current and wind direction, bamboo rafts drift across the vast Pacific Ocean through the control of sails and the paddling of paddles. Bohr's bold and novel voyage plans soon gathered five companions who shared his passion for adventure and freedom. These idealistic explorers each have the skills and courage needed to live alone in the ocean. For such a group of hot-blooded men whose inner call is so strong that they can ignore the secular and rules, they will spend more than three months in the crowd. What the rafting life brings to them is the joy of conquest and the enthusiasm of exploration. When setting sail, except for cameras and radio signal stations, the bamboo raft insisted not to be equipped with any modern mechanical equipment, because the captain believed that what the ancients could do 1500 years ago, they can succeed just by copying the ancient methods. His stubborn dogmatism manifests at times. The beloved parrot unfortunately fell into the water and was swallowed by a shark. Its angry owner picked up the shark from the sea and killed the shark with a sharp knife. The shark poured a lot of bright red blood into the ocean, attracting a terrifying group of sharks. Because the wood of the bamboo raft was rubbing against each other, the rope might be worn and broken. Herman knelt in front of Bol and asked him to reinforce the bamboo raft with iron wire. Herman waited for the captain's promise with a pleading tone. Bohr didn't hesitate what to do at all, but simply threw the only two iron rings in Herman's hands far away at sea. His excessive stubbornness finally turned into a selfish and indifferent paranoia. Even if his evidence required him to strictly reject any modern way of making and maintaining hulls, it was only a proof of academic assumptions. How could he ever consider what was more important when it came to the lives of the six crew members? A lone heroic decision is often the road of no return. It is wise and benevolent to stand in the face of a life-and-death crisis by subordinating ideals to the preservation of life. break. The six blond and white Nordic men on the bamboo raft are all explorers who are not afraid of danger. During the whole voyage, they have to constantly check the map and explore the correct channel. They always observe the waves, the wind direction, and the tension. Rope, spread the sail, and make sure you don't get caught in rough eddies and hidden reefs. Relying on their own knowledge and experience, several crew members offered their brilliant strategies when faced with different dangerous situations, so that the team could survive every desperate situation and save themselves from danger. The bamboo raft was not overturned in violent storms, strong waves and dangerous currents, and no one was killed under the pursuit of sharks. Everyone on the boat has a distinct personality, loves to sing love songs, and loves to read... No matter what, they are confident, firm, optimistic, and yearn for the most expansive ocean and sky where life is true. There is a very special scene in the film. The six crew members are lying on their backs on the bamboo raft, relaxing their tense and exhausted body and mind for a long time. On a calm night, they look at the high sky from the center of the sea, with a child-like strange and submissive. look. Then the lens gets higher and higher, until the curved surface of the earth is visible, and finally it reaches a white fog that disappears the outer space of the universe. There is a line in the film, which is also the creed of the crew, that the ocean is not an obstacle, but a way. Tiki lasted more than three months and the 5,000-mile Pacific rafting trip gave the captain a possible hypothesis, but its more important significance was that the crew realized a successful adventure and exploration, and they embraced a curious naive The pure heart, with a fearless character and an optimistic spirit, constantly surpasses himself and always follows freedom.
