It was the highest-grossing movie of 2012 in Norway and also the nation's most expensive manufacturing to date. [5] The movie was chosen for the Academy Give for Ideal International Language Movie at the 85th Academy Honors. [6] It is Norway's fifth Academy Honor election. [7] The film was likewise nominated for a Golden World Award for Best International Language Film at the 70th Golden World Gives. [8] It is the very first time a Norwegian film has been nominated for both an Oscar as well as a Golden World.
The movie is the dramatized story of Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon-Tiki exploration of 1947.
While the prevailing concepts of the time held that Polynesia had been worked out by individuals shifting from the west, Heyerdahl, a speculative ethnographer as well as traveler, lays out to verify his concept that individuals from South America resolved the islands in pre-Columbian times.
Keeping in mind resemblances between sculptures discovered in South America and the Polynesian moai, Heyerdahl's concept about the beginning of the Polynesian individuals is bolstered by Polynesian mythology that informs of an old tribe called the Hanau epe that are said to have when populated Easter Island. While many professionals hold that such a voyage throughout the substantial sea is unlikely to have actually ever before succeeded, in order to show that there were no technical restrictions that would certainly have inhibited the old individuals from making the trip, Heyerdahl places his theory to the test and builds a balsawood raft utilizing the same methods that would certainly have been used 1500 years earlier by the indigenous individuals of the region. Though he himself could not swim or sail, he sets out on the treacherous 4,300 maritime mile-journey throughout the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia aboard the tiny boating, along with his team of 5 males (as well as a macaw identifieded as Lorita).
Throughout the three months aboard the primitive vessel named after Inca god of Sunlight as well as storm, Kon-Tiki, the staff's clinical reenactment of the legendary trip from the coast of Peru to the Polynesian islands is met setbacks in the form of storms, sharks, and also other hazards of the open sea.
While much of the tale is historically exact, film writer Petter Skavlan and also director Joachim Rønning both really felt the need to make the story a lot more exciting for their two-hour feature film. [17] [18]
A few of the alterations from Heyerdahl's book are minor: the ship's parrot is eaten by a shark in the film; its real-life equivalent was simply washed overboard by a big wave. [19] The film presents to the staff just obtaining accessibility to important US armed forces equipment once they have actually arrived in Peru as well as are constructing the raft; whereas Heyerdahl prepared for the devices at a see to the Pentagon prior to taking a trip to Peru. [20]
The film has the staff stressing over getting sucked into "the Galapagos bedlam," with a publication revealed that purportedly shows the bedlam. The image is really artist Harry Clarke's 1919 image for Edgar Allan Poe's narrative, "An Origin Into the Maelström," a fictional account of a whirlpool in Norwegian waters. The summary of its roar, which can be heard from nine miles away, is taken straight from Poe's story. Although Heyerdahl did describe "treacherous eddies" near the Galapagos, his chief worry there was that "strong sea currents" might sweep the plethora back in the direction of Central The U.S.A.. [21]
A lot of questionable has been the picture of the raft's second-in-command, Herman Watzinger. [22] Associates as well as family members state Watzinger in the film is unlike the real-life Watzinger, physically or in his activities. Actor Baasmo Christiansen recognized the bodily differences with a smile. "Watzinger was high, dark, as well as Norwegian Young people Champion in the 100 meter. He was every little thing I'm not."
