The beginning of the adventure

The beginning of mankind may be the beginning of exploration.
It is said in the "Bible" that God said that there must be light, so there is light. What is light? Light illuminates the world and light opens civilization. In my opinion, the explorers of the past generations are undoubtedly the light given to us by God.
Perhaps the definition of explorers should be more broad, except for those Magellans who we knew in the middle school history textbooks, perhaps Zhang Qian, who pioneered the Western Regions, and Zheng He who went to the Western Regions seven times, they should all be explorers, even Newton. Should also be part of the explorer. Explorers should not only be pioneers in the period of great geographic discovery. All those who have blazed a path for future generations from thorny areas should be regarded as explorers. Perhaps they are not exploring geological risks, but they have also opened up new roads and pointed us to new worlds. Their contribution is no less than the discovery of new continents after another. The obstacles encountered are no less than the dangers one after another on the road. They all have the same spirit of adventure, never give up, and dare to chase.
However, expedition is a lonely thing after all. Not many people understand it, not many people support it, and even they sneer. But when is the progress of mankind not accompanied by personal sacrifice? It is precisely this sacrifice that has allowed human society to advance time and time again.
In fact, it’s very exciting to think about it. It’s hard for you to imagine when the Asian and African continents started to communicate for the first time, and when two completely different civilizations met for the first time, how did they communicate? Start fighting for the enemy and then gradually begin to understand and merge, or are you surprised to find that there is a civilization close to yourself? All this is so incredible.
It’s just a pity that the movie is not as exciting as the story itself. The lengthy bedding drags down the entire movie, so that the part of the real adventure is not spread out enough. The experience during the adventure is just a few short fragments. It's over, far from showing the most exciting part heartily, which is a little regrettable.
But I still like this type of film and look forward to real masterpieces.

    Maybe it's because of the wrong letters. Very bored

    There was only a raft between a group of sharks and a few men, and it was so beautiful and exciting to put the camera in the sea and watch everything!

Kon-Tiki quotes

  • Thor Heyerdahl: [Talking with three National Geographic's members] Gentlemen. Your magazine will be with me on a raft. At the mercy of the winds, all the way to Polynesia. It is further than from Chicago to Moscow. Here to here.

    [pointing it in a map behind him]

    Committee Member: You'll have some sort of engine in case of emergency?

    Thor Heyerdahl: No. Absolutely not. We will surrender to the current and the wind... like Tiki did.

    Committee Member: [curious] And by undertaking this extraordinary voyage, you are proving?

    Thor Heyerdahl: That the oceans were not barriers, but roads. Not impediments, but pathways. I will prove that South American people sailed to Polynesia...

    Committee Member: [refused] Every schoolboy knows that Polynesia was peopled from Asia, not South America.

    Thor Heyerdahl: And it is my job as a scientist to prove those schoolboys, and those who quote them, wrong.

    [turning to the map]

    Thor Heyerdahl: Ancient man, being sun worshipers...

    Committee Member: [interrupting Thor] Mr. Heyerdahl. Doubtless the story of Norwegians drowning in the pacific will sell a lot of magazines. But not this one.

    Thor Heyerdahl: [angry] This is a scientific expedition!

    Committee Member: Our magazine has a higher purpose than to finance and enable men bent on suicide. I doubt he'll have any success recruiting anyone for such a voyage.

  • Thor Heyerdahl: [talking with an old man in Fatu Hiva] Tei? Where did your ancestors come from?

    Tei: We believe that Tiki - Tiki, the sun god - took us to these islands from the land behind the sea.

    Thor Heyerdahl: [surprised] From east? "L'est?"

    Tei: Everything comes from the east. Ocean currents, wind and sun. Tiki navigated towards the sun.

    Thor Heyerdahl: [amazed] Tiki!
