Lost City of Z

Swede gave me a Roku flash drive for the borro2ed TV, for Christmas.  Don't ask me, if is just so much fancy technology to avoid the cable company :)
It took both of us for ever to get it to work - we both have minds and wonder about everything that is never said!
LOL!!!!!


First thing I watched was the Lost City of  Z.  As the movie and story unraveled, I realize that I knew t1964he story, albeit in French.  So, this placed my knowledge to sometime after 1964 and the birth of my addiction to all things to do with archaeology and anthropology.

So, it was good seeing a movie about something I knew the story of!

The sad of the aspect is that the movie portrays so sadly the arrogance of the Victorian Age and the belief that all that can be known - is known!  Equally, how horribly females were treated - it made me positively angry!  Sigh - mankind just plain sucks ...

The movie is a very unvarnished look at archaeology, anthropology and the age of exploration.
I would recommend however this is an adult film due to primitive dress or lack there of.
Else there is no complaint against a well made film.

Not a must see, but it is a worthy to be seen.
Just be really for a gloves off approach to all that swirls around this topic.
