Watched The Lost City of Z for the first time just now
Until the screen went black and I found out that it was based on a real person and events I found tge movie lacking in the exploration department.
However, after learning about Percy Fawcett and his son Jack, and how, ironically, Percy was proven right decades after he made his claim about Z, really made me emotional.
I'm a sucker for stories about real life explorers since that period in our history was the last time there was any sense of wonder left regarding human history, archeology etc.
Seeing that Percy was post-humously proven right is quite bittersweet. More bitter than sweet maybe. Charlie Hunnam did a great job as the lead.
