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.

    Regardless of the filming of the movie, dedicate five stars to the true story itself.

Kon-Tiki quotes

  • Thor Heyerdahl: I've heard that drowning is the best way to die.

    Erik Hesselberg: Well, not exactly. You might manage for a minute, until you breathe out of reflex. Your lungs fill with water, you choke. and the acid created by the salt water in your stomach makes it feel like you burn up inside. And it makes your heart kick in, forcing you to breathe again - more water. You lose control, and then you finally die. All in all, three or four minutes.

    Thor Heyerdahl: Hold on. What about my life flashing past?

    Erik Hesselberg: Yeah, that's the worst part.

    [both chuckle]

  • Liv Heyerdahl: Did not you know that the first Polynesians came from the west? Imagine to paddle all the way from Asia against the current.
