Immerse Yourself in the Amazon and the Life of a Total Jerk

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2017)

I saw this last weekend and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. It was indeed stunningly shot and we get a real feeling for being in the Amazon and meeting natives. I didn't get bored for an instant and I thought that all the actors and actresses did a great job of acting, and spent less time thinking of how they looked for publicity, which made the story more believable. I was totally convinced. Amazon did a great job of depicting a man who loves his wife and children for years at a time who otherwise basically thought of no one but himself. Fawcett went so far as to create children whom he then left to the other 50% to take care of, and to blame a man who was almost losing his life for ruining his expedition instead of worrying about making sure the man was OK above all. I will take a chance on unknown actors after this.
