Daniel Radcliffe has played "Fantastic Horns" and "Swiss Army Knife Man". This film can be said to link these two films together. In this film, Daniel also has a big bag on his forehead, which gives people the feeling of another horn, but the poisonous insects are squeezed out in the end; he fumbles in the film again, and suffers all kinds of hardships. Seen as a living Swiss Army knife man.
Of course, you can think of this film as the sequel to "Fantastic Horns" and the predecessor of "Swiss Army Knife Man", and speculate that Daniel is creating a universe of "marginal people"... which is a bit boring.
This film is based on a real event that occurred in 1981. Note that it is either an adaptation or a 100% restoration based on the works of those who witnessed the event. Daniel played the most bitter character in it as always. Apart from the mental and physical torture of the primeval forest in the film, Daniel's physical changes are very admirable. From the beginning of a healthy and strong boy with round buttocks, to a semi-savage state where his abdomen was completely collapsed and the bones of his upper body were counted one by one, Daniel made such a big sacrifice for a little-known niche movie. Maybe there is the purpose of hitting the trophy, but also showing his pursuit and love for performance.
The film has two main features, one is Daniel's suffering and outstanding performance, the other is the magnificent scenery of South American virgin forest and Amazon river, of course, there are magical primitive tribes and mysterious species in the forest.
The biggest problem with the film is that the theme is a bit split. On the whole, it is a call for human beings to protect cultural diversity, but the film has spent a huge amount of space to show Daniel's suffering, and Daniel has come here to experience life without his superior family background. This kind of story has appeared in many movies. The more powerful "Lost Z City" did the same thing, and the film didn't enter the primeval forest until almost half of the time. The previous foreshadowing was too scattered and related to the theme. Little relevance. If the film adds more humanistic content, such as the daily details of local customs, such as the interaction between the protagonist and the locals, then the theme of the film will be more powerful.
However, it is still worth seeing. It makes me even more convinced that Daniel Radcliffe is a good actor.
