What is like and what is obsession? Start an adventure for your hobby. And this adventure is obviously like ushering in a new century. The film recommended to you today is to tell such a story, a story that has never been seen before. And it is likely that it is also a latecomer.
What would you think of if you simply heard the word "overland"? Sailing on the ground, this is not crazy. Yes, this film is not only on the ground, but also on the ground is extremely dangerous. Gerald was a great adventurer. He not only completed this great achievement, but also finally achieved success and retirement. From this point of view, when we watch this film, we will gradually forget our original ideas as the plot deepens.
If you need to think deeply about the plot at the beginning of the viewing process, then most people will think that this is a slightly literary drama. But as the story unfolds, we seem to find that this is an inspirational movie full of dreams. But when you look at the whole film, this inspirational idea seems to no longer exist. Because after the protagonist finally achieved a great achievement, he did not reach the peak of his life. Instead, he still soared freely according to his romantic ideas. So many people can't understand it.
Is Gerald an inspirational figure? Obviously the answer is no. He is not unlike the ordinary inspirational character archetype. All he pursues in his life is nothing more than his own hobbies, or a free life. There is not much interest in money as well as wealth. This can be seen from the beginning of Gerald's disagreement with his wife over the adoption of the girls.
He is not a man who enjoys a life of luxury. He had his own dream of building an opera house. But if we focus only on such an idea, we will most likely be disappointed. Because by the time the big ship set sail, the story had been transformed into an adventure. And the previous artistic atmosphere has long ceased to exist.
Gerald's perseverance is difficult for ordinary people to possess, even if they are ostracized and insulted. He still did not give up on his dreams. Even later, the dream slowly departed from its original trajectory. But it's still a model for perseverance.
For his own opera dreams, Gerald can give up a lot. A stable life, a hotbed with a lover, the wealth of a party that you can enrich yourself, and so on. Gerald abandoned that ease and instead ushered in some challenge he had never had before—setting sail. And this voyage is destined to go down in history.
During the filming process, the film experienced a change of role, a shortage of funds, casualties, and the dangers of the jungle. Due to external factors, the film went through a four-year shooting cycle. Several people were injured to varying degrees throughout the filming. The film shows a large ship being carried up a hill, which is also a real scene, without any post-production, and is said to have been pushed up with a bulldozer.
During the four-year shooting process, the crew overcame many difficulties that ordinary people could not imagine, and finally presented us with this film. And throughout the filming process gradually formed a "Gerald", which is also the place where everyone in this film is praised.
Gerald goes through a crew renegade and negotiates with unknown savages on the way, which is also an act that will frighten anyone. But Gerald used his own strength to make these disadvantages slowly turn into advantages. In the end, the wildlings decided to use their own strength to help him complete this seemingly impossible task. The result is also gratifying, and at the end of the film, they successfully achieve a seemingly impossible thing.
Preferences drive your interest in something, and if that interest can be developed at a deeper level, it will have an immeasurable positive force for people. Gerald is the carrier of this spirit.
His starting point was simple, to show his love of opera, and he was determined to build a large opera house in this town, but slowly, with the environmental support required for this starting point, Gerald began to expose himself to another field. It is this yin and yang transformation. Gerald inadvertently accomplished the feat.
To sum up, this is the praiseworthy place of this film, and we also see another place that can be despised. When civilization tramples on primitive barbarism, we destroy large swathes of rainforest only to pay for a dream that doesn't make much sense. Isn't that a bit of a cost?
The attitude of Gerald and his party toward the wildlings is not the attitude of the entire civilized society to the primitive inhabitants. Later capital predators will not have patience with these wildlings. When capital begins to attack this undeveloped territory, who cares about the dreams of the people who live here?
