The unknown

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2019)

The most profound theme that this film explores is battling the unknown. We do not know for certain what is going to happen to us, the next moment or the next year, yet we must go on. For what? That we cannot answer. We console this uncertainty by thinking we do this for our loved ones.
Another thing that really kept me interested in the film is the character of the protagonist, excellently portrayed by Mr.Hunnam, I must say. The protagonist seeks to find the lost city of with a fervent zeal. Why? Because he wants to call out the superiority his fellow English carry themselves with, by proving that the people that they've labelled as 'slaves' and 'uncivilized' are in fact far more advanced in civilization than they could ever imagine. He wants to once and for all, question the bigotry of the Church, of the English, by finding the lost city of Z, proving this to all the world. His ideals kept my resentment towards thr British stop me from watching this film. Whatever may have happened to him, he was a good man and a good man, and this I will always respect him for.
I want to put in by saying that, if you wanted to prove that the colonized are in fact much more civilized than the colonizers,i.e, your fellow Englishmen, you should have come to India instead of South America.
