In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I loved the movie- it's the kind you keep thinking about even after the credits roll. I feel like the naysayers fall into 1 of 2 categories: 1. They're know-it-alls - just because the characters didn't make the choices you wanted them to do, doesn't make it a bad movie- if that's what you're after, go play The Sims! 2. They're people who don't agree with the premise of the movie, but it's based on a true story, so if you want to tell your own story... start writing the script to your own movie!I may be a bit bitter, but some of the reviews with low ratings on IMDB may have caused me to miss out in this wonderful film!
The film may not be entirely true to the real adventure but in itself does very well. Almost all the scenes and especially in the jungle look real. The wooden raft looks real and seems to really floats on its own. Daniel does a great job throughout. A story of growth through survival.
Based on real events, this is a story about three young backpackers in the Amazon jungles of Bolivia who, in the early eighties, naive and hungry for adventure, fall prey to a fraudulent guide. The movie is quite predictable, but it is still nice to watch, partly because it remains realistic (with no unbelievable or extreme scenes or exaggerations), and partly because of the beautiful scenery and laid back atmosphere of the hippie communes shown in the movie (you are likely to think yourself of taking a gap year and taking off to South America). The acting is decent and unpretentious; the movie predominantly focuses on the perspective of one of the travelers, Yossi. The ending is not overly dramatic, and has a nice humane touch.
From the moment Jungle begins it doesn't let you go and even when you've finished it it comes back and haunts you because you can't believe this actually happened. It's a very inspiring story about a group of naive young men and the psychological impact of the experience on Radcliffe's character is emotional and scary whilst affecting. The scenery is breathtaking, the story - true. Radcliffe's acting talents shine through and he is unrecognizable in this role. A brilliant film and story of survival that should not be missed.
