For faith we need to temporarily let go of everything

"Lonely Raft" This is a film adapted from a true story. In 1947, Sol Heyerdahl and five friends set off from Peru, South America, with the goal of the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific. Their main purpose is to prove that people could cross the ocean on a raft 1400 years ago. The plot of the movie is relaxed and the characters are delicate in their hearts. Tony has shown great courage since he was a child, jumping from the bank of the river to the ice on the river, drifting on the sea is the coexistence of romance and risk, pleasure and pain. Whales, sharks, and glowing jellyfish. One of the fragments that surprised me was that the male protagonist caught a great white shark with one hand and a hook. It looked so simple, just like catching a crab, and it was very interesting. Ask your wife to oppose Tony's rafting. When Tony disregarded his opposition, when Tony went, his wife had already decided to divorce him, and gave the letter to his partner very early, and asked him to wait until Tony successfully came to the island in the South Pacific. Open it up and look again. When Tony boarded the raft, the lives of his husband and wife had already been separated. In Tony’s wife’s break-up letter, there was a sentence: "Why can’t I stop myself from leaving everything?" I think it’s not reconciled to what I firmly believe in, and I am not willing to give up.

    Faith lives on! This film and "Youth PI" met unexpectedly in 2012. Although the adaptation of real events is more powerful, the level of excitement of the story, the magnificence of the picture, and the infectivity of the characters are inferior to "PI". Overall rating: three and a half stars.

    Brave till desperate.

Kon-Tiki quotes

  • Torstein Raaby: [all six lying on the raft, looking the starry night sky] It's as if we're the only people left in the universe.

    Bengt Danielsson: Maybe we are. Maybe they've dropped bombs on eachother. And every city is like Hiroshima.

    Erik Hesselberg: [suspicious] I doubt we would have had radio contact Bengt.

    Thor Heyerdahl: Maybe we've just been accepted. By nature. That we've become like a seagull or a fish.

  • Thor Heyerdahl: [almost finishing their travel] We have traveled over 8000 kilometers, boys... but the fact is that the greatest danger is still ahead.

    Herman Watzinger: [sarcastic] People?

    Thor Heyerdahl: No: the Raroia Reef. It lies like a wall around the entire island, with sharp coral.

    Torstein Raaby: [worried] Why didn't you tell us?

    Thor Heyerdahl: [looking Raaby] It was impossible to know exactly where we would end up.
