Film title Kon-Tiki
Directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg
Date released April 26, 2013
List three adjectives that describe this film
Adventure Dangerous Exciting
What is the film about? (write at least three sentences)
The film Kon-Tiki is about a man named Thor Heyerdahl who has an interesting theory
that know one else has ever considered. Thor believes that Peruvians could have settled
in Polynesia in pre-Colombian times, many believe that the Peruvians couldn’t possibly
have the sort of technology to sail there. To prove that his theory is correct, Thor sets off
on a raft with a few other men, and very very limited technology to sail 4,300 miles in
101 days.
What was good about the film?
I think the film as very exciting and engaging, I would defiantly go see it in the theaters.
I watched it with my sister who is in eighth grade and my little neighbor who is in fifth
grade and they both loved it. I think it was both engaging and educational which is often
hard to find in a film. I loved every second of it, there wasn’t a dull moment.
Would you recommend the film? Why or why not?
I would recommend the film to anyone to just watch for fun. For the assignment we
had in Ms. Marshall’s class I don’t know if I would still recommend it because although
you do learn somewhat of other peoples cultures, I more learned it from a historic
standpoint because this event did actually occur. It as also hard to learn more about
it when the movie mostly took place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I struggled
a little bit on finding very specific example and just finding good topics for my body
paragraphs. Overall I do think it was amazing movie just not a very good pick for this
particular assignment.
