It was the highest-grossing film of 2012 in Norway and the nation's most expensive manufacturing to date. [5] The film was nominated for the Academy Give for Ideal International Language Movie at the 85th Academy Awards. [6] It is Norway's 5th Academy Give nomination. [7] The film was also chosen for a Golden World Give for Best Foreign Language Film at the 70th Golden World Gives. [8] It is the very first time a Norwegian movie has actually been nominated for both an Oscar as well as a Golden World.
The film is the dramatized story of Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947.
While the dominating theories of the time held that Polynesia had actually been settled by individuals moving from the west, Heyerdahl, an experimental ethnographer and also adventurer, sets out to prove his theory that people from South The U.S.A. resolved the islands in pre-Columbian times.
Noting similarities between statuaries found in South The U.S.A. and also the Polynesian moai, Heyerdahl's concept about the origin of the Polynesian individuals is reinforced by Polynesian mythology that determines of an old people called the Hanau epe that are said to have actually once inhabited Easter Island. While the majority of professionals hold that such a voyage throughout the huge sea is not likely to have actually ever succeeded, in order to highlight that there were no technical restrictions that would have inhibited the ancient individuals from making the quest, Heyerdahl puts his concept to the test and also develops a balsawood boating making use of the same strategies that would certainly have been made use of 1500 years ago by the indigenous individuals of the area. Though he himself could not swim or cruise, he establishes out on the treacherous 4,300 nautical mile-journey throughout the Pacific from Peru to Polynesia aboard the tiny plethora, together with his team of five guys (as well as a macaw identifieded as Lorita).
During the 3 months aboard the primitive vessel named after Inca god of Sun and tornado, Kon-Tiki, the team's scientific reenactment of the fabulous trip from the coast of Peru to the Polynesian islands is consulted with obstacles in the form of tornados, sharks, as well as other perils of the open sea.
Probably one of the most obvious mistake in the film is the apparent lack of indigenous Polynesians. The scenes showing Heyerdahl's experiences on Fatu Hiva were fired in Thailand with Thai bonus that do not resemble indigenous Polynesians, and also who are revealed holding compound spears not normal of the Marquesas Islands, [15] and weaving rattan baskets, with neither the technique or the plant product being belonging to French Polynesia.

While much of the tale is historically precise, screenwriter Petter Skavlan and also supervisor Joachim Rønning both felt the have to make the tale a lot more amazing for their two-hour attribute film.
The movie has the crew bothering with getting pulled right into "the Galapagos bedlam," with a publication shown that supposedly shows the bedlam. The picture is really musician Harry Clarke's 1919 picture for Edgar Allan Poe's narrative, "A Descent Into the Maelström," an imaginary account of a whirlpool in Norwegian waters. The description of its roar, which could be learnt through nine miles away, is taken straight from Poe's story. Although Heyerdahl did refer to "treacherous eddies" near the Galapagos, his chief worry there was that "strong ocean currents" could sweep the range back towards Central The U.S.A.. [21]
The majority of controversial has been the picture of the range's second-in-command, Herman Watzinger. [22] Associates and family members say Watzinger in the film differs the real-life Watzinger, physically or in his actions. Actor Baasmo Christiansen recognized the bodily distinctions with a smile. "Watzinger was tall, dark, and also Norwegian Young people Champion in the ONE HUNDRED meter. He was everything I'm not."
