In 1925, Percy Fawcett ventured into the Amazon in search of a myth. What he discovered became legendary.
Now, if the movie had focused on that it might have been interesting. Instead we race through the years of his life and stopping every ones in a while for 15 minutes or so. Because of that, the whole thing feels stiched together loosely without ever taking time to explore any event further. We just witness it and jump forward a couple of years. This is not what I expected and so despite the fact it is technically a good movie, I was bored and in the end dissapointed (I apologies for not knowing Fawcetts story I expected he would find the city in the movie). And even as a biopic it didn´t connect with me in a way that I now want to know more about the man. And now that I think about that quote I used at the beginning: what did he discover, really ?
