But I don't know that its director has also made a movie like this.
In this May, the much-anticipated "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tale" is about to be released in shock. Many movie fans are gearing up, just waiting to buy a big bucket of popcorn, and sit comfortably in the cinema to feast their eyes on. But few people know that as the directors of the latest "pirate" series, Joachim Ronny and Espen Sandberg from Norway, they also co-directed another one before they were successfully recruited by Hollywood. A movie, that's a real classic movie. Yes, this film is "A Lone Raft".
Although it sounds a bit horrible, "Lone Raft Over the Ocean" is a complete legacy. Of course, this conclusion is only valid for those audiences who are used to watching Hollywood movies. This film is no stranger to higher-end movie fans who love European films. In addition to being well received after its release that year, it was also nominated for the 85th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, the 70th American Golden Globe Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, and the 26th European Film Awards Audience Award. It is worth mentioning that although "Lone Raft Over the Ocean" has set the highest investment in Norwegian film history (18.5 million US dollars, it is also a large production of hundreds of millions of dollars in China), but it has successfully achieved 13.34 million US dollars in the local area alone. Box office revenue surpassed all Hollywood blockbusters to become Norway's best-selling film that year. The reason for the perfect ending of both box office and word-of-mouth harvest is that some movies are about national honor and national self-esteem, so even if they pay a large cost and price, they must be shot.
In the movie, Heyerdahl (Par Sver Waheim Hagen) is a Norwegian anthropologist and sea explorer. When he did an anthropological survey on the Polynesian Islands in the Pacific, the island’s ruins, legends, etc. convinced him that the first inhabitants of the islands came from South America in the fifth century AD, but he had no idea. Believe. For this reason, he found 5 volunteers, and crossed the Pacific with him on the Indian raft "Kantiki", which was strictly imitated as it was. He wanted to prove that the Polynesians did not come from Asia, but crossed the Pacific from South America. Achieved the migration. In April 1947, they set off on a raft from Peru, South America, and experienced 101 days and 4,900 miles of life and death. They finally reached the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific and created another miracle in the history of human navigation.
This is the story shown in the movie "Lone Raft Over the Seas". It seems to be well-formed and unremarkable, but the spirit of adventure and the true portrayal of all kinds of human nature are what touches people the most. And the beginning of mankind may be based on such a spirit of adventure and perseverance and pursuit of ideals that have made it to today step by step.
The objective display of natural landscapes, nautical tribulations, and real humanity is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this film. When the raft drifts alone on the sea, whether it is encountering various conditions such as storms, shark chasing, instrument failure, crew falling into the water, or encountering luminous marine species at night, rushing through the "blade of the sea" La Roa Atoll, the vision presented by the film The effects are extremely shocking. It’s just that the two directors seem to have no ambition here. They never deliberately create a sense of tension. Instead, they continue to maintain an almost plain overall style. They are not exaggerated and do not show off their skills. They reproduce a piece of history with a delicate rhythm. On the screen.
And this kind of calmness and sluggishness of listening to thunder in the silent place fits the purpose of the film, and also shows the extraordinary creativity of the two young directors in film mode and lens language. This is what a true "ghost director" should have. It's no wonder that the guide of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead No Proof" will be handed over to such two little-known "newcomers". You know, the eyes of those Hollywood investors have always been discerning.
