I don't know if the movie "Lost in Z City" was cut off by 37 minutes in the mainland release. This movie is far less good than expected. As an Oscar-impacting work of Brad Pitt, it should be a good movie. But I don’t know what the deleted 37 minutes are. The cut movie is not about the exploration of Z city, but through the life of an explorer, it reflects the British and even capitalist society during the colonial expansion period. a state of it. The explorer Fawcett entered the Amazon jungle for the first time, for the honor of success, and the second time he entered the jungle to study the secrets lost in the jungle, until he managed the war and experienced life and death, the third The second time I took my son into the jungle was to complete the regret in my heart. Originally thought, this movie is about a team who found the lost city of Z after many hardships, but after reading it, I found that the description of the expedition is not without it, but it is far from enough to become the main line, and more is mixed society, the family factor is in it. For that period, I think it was after the Industrial Revolution that the level of science and technology developed rapidly, which stimulated capitalist countries, especially old and powerful countries like the United Kingdom, who wanted to explore more territories and expand their spheres of influence. The exploration of unknown areas has also become this period. A very important part of the film, how to get the unknown territory into the bag, and exploring the unknown mysteries have also become a craze at this time, and Fawcett, the hero of the film, has become a part of this, no matter the reason. , curiosity about unexplored regions, or desire for power and wealth, or even curiosity about being located in unexplored civilizations. In short, being able to enter the Amazon jungle three times and get government support and private sponsorship is a reaction of this period. After experiencing the world war, isn't the world war actually caused by the intensification of the contradictions of colonial expansion between countries? The male protagonist realizes that death is very close to everyone, and only by constantly surpassing himself, otherwise heaven is of no use. In short, being able to take my son into the jungle again to find the truth is an explanation to myself. If you don't do something, you will never know the truth of the ending. In general, the theme of this movie is good, but in terms of the plot, it may be because of the 37-minute cut, some of the key points are not too prominent, it just feels like the movie is finished, what is the point? I always feel that something is missing. Even in the end, the whereabouts of the hero and his son are unknown, and the wife has not been able to find her husband and son until her death, but she used her pocket watch to set up a hint that the hero and his son found the Z city, but again. Why not come back, who the aboriginal primitive people comforted with the hero and the son , whether it is to be executed or released, I feel that I have not explained it clearly, and it is very abrupt to set a foreshadowing. Seeing others comment that this film was actually shot in the tropical rainforest, the content and meaning, both inside and outside, are well presented. Maybe it’s because everyone’s perspective is different. The framing is really good. Let the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. But for the male protagonist, the protagonist's heart is big enough for the fact that he has one more child when he returns from an expedition.
