 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 | 🎙️ EPISODE 341: 03.19.2021  I was not super psyched for this one. The GODS OF TRUE RANDOM gave me the Best Documentary Oscar winner from 1950, a black-and-white tale of some Norwegian freaks sailing on a homemade raft for 4,000 miles and 101 days across the South Pacific Ocean (Peru to Polynesia). But sometimes movies win Academy Awards for a reason and this is surely one of them. The definitive version at this point is a tighter edit from 1995, clocking in at just under an hour. It's a compelling and never boring story. It's also an inspiring one, both in terms of pushing the limit of human potential but also a beacon of hope for our capacity to respect cultures vastly different than our own. Check it out on YouTube if you have the time. |
