Shackleton (2002)



Dutch
In 1914, aan de vooravond van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, vertrekt Sir Ernest
Shackleton met zijn gezelschap naar de Zuidpool, een expeditie die een
legendarische reputatie verwierf als de meest barre overlevingstocht aller
tijden. Nadat zijn schip is vastgelopen en door het ijs wordt verbrijzeld,
staat Shackleton voor de moeilijke taak zijn bemanning in veiligheid te
brengen. Wij volgen de 28 mannen op hun barre overlevingstocht over de
eindeloze ijsvlakte, de woeste zee en de hoge bergen. Wij zien hoe zij samen
de elementen trotseren en hun gevaarlijke avontuur uiteindelijk weten te
overleven. 'Shackleton' is opgenomen op locatie in Antarctica en op
aangrijpende wijze verfilmd.

All but forgotten at the time of his death in 1922, controversial British
explorer Ernest Shackleton would enjoy a rediscovery of sorts decades later,
with dozens of books and filmed documentaries devoted to his "magnificent
blunder" -- the failed Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1916. On
the sheer weight of his dynamic personality, Shackleton was able to mount an
exploratory journey to the Antarctic, accompanied by a crew of 27 men, among
them celebrated Australian photographer Frank Day. Alas, Shackleton's ship was
crushed by packing ice early in the expedition, forcing the crew to brave the
merciless polar elements for a full ten months. Making matters worse, public
concern over Shackleton's plight was shunted aside when Great Britain entered
WWI. First telecast in England on January 2 and 3, 2002, the two-part TV
biopic Shackleton stars Kenneth Branagh in the title role. The script does not
shirk away from the subject's less savory character traits, including his
disastrous financial dealings and his blatant unfaithfulness to wife Emily
(Phoebe Nicholls). Nonetheless, one emerges from the film with a renewed
respect and admiration for the visionary Shackleton and his bedraggled
companions. Much of the imagery in Shackleton was based upon the still-
surviving films made on the scene by Frank Day, adding extra authenticity to the
drama even though the film was made in Greenland and Iceland rather than the
Antarctic.
