hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a fantasy-adventure film: "Jungle Cruise"
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
legend has it that in the Amazon Jungle, there is Tears of the Moon
a mythical tree whose petals can cure any illness, heal any injury, and lift any curse
for ages, explorers and adventurers have been searching for the amazing tree
among them, the Spanish conquistadors led by Don Aguirre are the most famous
the quest proves difficult as the tree is hard to find
and Aguirre's team members are falling one after another
when Aguirre is on the verge of dying
the tree guardians appear to save his life and take care of him until his recovery
however, when Aguirre sees the arrowhead, a key to Tears of the Moon
he wipes out the local tribe out of his greed
as a result, a curse befalls the remaining conquistadors
such that they are unable to die or leave the river
hundreds of years later, a presentation of Lily's Tears of the Moon research
is conducted in London in the year 1916
while Lily's brother (Brother) is addressing an association of Royal Society explorers
Lily sneaks into the association's office to steal the arrowhead which is found a while ago
as soon as Lily opens a treasure box that contains the arrowhead
two other men suddenly walk into the office
accompanied by the chairman of the Royal Society is their sponsor of the arrowhead search
they soon discover that the arrowhead is gone
and Lily is forced to interact with them before she evades the office through the window
Lily leaves the building with a ladder and jumps down to a two-tier bus
which Brother flags down
after they narrowly escape the chase
Lily and Brother plan their expedition to the Amazon Jungles
the sponsor is a German Prince (Prince), who wants the arrowhead to locate Tears of the Moon
Chairman identifies Lily, for she is a famous explorer seeking the tree
in South America, Frank brings tourists on jungle river cruises
and reveals to them the mysteries of the forest
tourists are amazed by his story, such as a bird swallowing a 150kg snake
and a cannibal flower devouring a man instantly
little do they know that these are merely fake dangers and corny jokes made up by Frank
what's more, even the local "cannibal tribe" are also acted out by Frank's friends
as the cruise comes to an end, Frank takes the tourists back to a Brazilian harbor
upon their arrival, a cruise owner (Owner) appears to demand Frank to pay his debt
it turns out that Frank owes him a good 5000 bucks, but Frank is not able to settle
so he has to use his cruise ship as collateral
meanwhile, Lily and Brother have also reached the same harbor
intending to rent a cruise from Owner to get them down the Amazon rivers for treasure hunt
as soon as Owner walks away, Frank sneaks into his office to steal back the cruise key
at this time, Lily breaks in and mistakes Frank as Owner
Lily tells him that she wants to find Tears of the Moon according to the map drawn by Aguirre
based on the record, they are last seen at the crystal tear forest
though Frank does not believe in such a legend, he is happy to make the deal
so that he can get back his cruise by the rent
while they are negotiating for the price, Owner shows up in the restaurant
exposing Frank's true identity
in the embarrassment, Frank is surprised to spot the arrowhead worn around Lily's neck
then a jaguar runs into the restaurant from nowhere
and all the customers do not dare to move
only Frank stands up to fight against the beast and manages to chase it out
impressed by his bravery and fighting skills
Lily is determined to hire his service, so she bargains with him
finally, they make a deal with 12,000 dollars
on the second day, before they set off, Lily is captured by Prince's men
but Lily successfully gets rid of the captors
and keeps the arrowhead intact with the help of Frank
in the end, they board the cruise safely but are soon pursued by Prince's submarine
leading to a fast and furious chase on the water
fortunately, Frank is very familiar with the route, and he leads the team through the bombs
Frank leads the submarine to crash into Owner's boat and leaves it stuck in the river
by now, their expedition to the Amazon Jungle officially starts
Lily gets to see the legendary pink dolphins and enjoys the exotic forest scenery
at a crossing, Lily insists on turning right because this is a shorter route
which allows them to reach two days earlier
but Frank disagrees with her, for there is a strong current in that direction
at last, Frank cannot help but obeys Lily's instructions
there comes the first night on the cruise
Brother returns to the cabin for a rest
Frank tells Brother that his room is a forbidden zone
on the deck, Frank and Lily are chatting about the legend of the Tears of the Moon
Lily believes that as long as they find the petal, they can cure any diseases in the world
Frank says that he has been staying here for a long time
and has traveled to various corners of the jungle, but there is no such tree
at this time, the jaguar suddenly runs out to lick Brother
it turns out that the jaguar is Frank's pet
and the scene of him fighting off the jaguar is also elaborately staged
now Lily and the map are gone, Prince's team is at a loss of what to do
Prince has come up with a solution
to find Aguirre, who should have remembered the map by heart
so Prince leads his men down to a dry underground cave
where the cursed bodies of the conquistadors have turned to stone
and been infested over time by tree roots and vines
judging by their armor, one can tell that they are from medieval Spain
as soon as Prince sprinkles a drop of the Amazon river water on the amour
two snakes crawl out from the stoned corpse
Prince then tells the snakes that he knows the location of the arrowhead
and he can also bring the river water to them
he offers to free them by diverting the river if they help him retrieve the arrowhead
as the snakes nod their heads to seal the pact
Prince orders to create a new watercourse by blowing up the dam
on the rock wall, Aguirre and several of his men come alive again after touching the river
the next day, Frank's cruise enters the rapids, which split in two ahead of them
with a waterfall on their right and a smooth river on their left
after a thrilling voyage, the cruise ship makes a timely escape at the top of the waterfall
it enters the river on its left and continues to move towards the destination
the roller-coaster ride leaves the jaguar vomiting all over the place
when they come to a stretch of calm water, Frank and Brother alight the cruise to gather wood
as they get closer, Brother tells Frank he was nearly disowned by his family due to being gay
but Lily stands by him, so he would accompany and protect his sister no matter where she goes
driven by curiosity, Lily breaks into Frank's cabin
and discovers an archive of research information on the Tears of the Moon
Frank admits that he used to search for the legendary tree
but no matter how hard he tried, he found nothing
he concludes that it is just a myth
Lily feels cheated, and the two get into a heated argument
while they are quarreling, a tribe of "cannibals" attack them with blown pie darts
and the three of them faint on the spot
by the time they are awakened, it is already late at night
they arrive at a gigantic tree studded by flickering flames
it is a grand sight to see the tribe live by the tree
Lily, Brother, and Frank are brought to the female tribe leader
who demands them to return the arrowhead
she promises to let them go as long as they surrender the artifact of their ancestors
Lily is shrewd enough to discover that it is another fake danger planned by Frank
and the tribe leader is in fact, a friend of Frank
Frank apologizes and claims he is unable to call off the plan, but Lily rebukes him
coincidentally, the leader is able to decipher the writing on the arrowhead
revealing the tree's location and that it only blooms under a blood moon
Lily is reminded of a place on the map which looks like the snake biting on its own tail
she guesses that could be the entrance to the mysterious tree
just when they are about to set off, the cursed Spanish conquistadors have reached their place
the conquistadors consist of Aguirre possessed by a viper
a servant who has become a beehive (Bee Man), a guard who has turned into a mud monster
and a swordsman who can transform into tree roots
the tribe residents are nothing before such undying monsters
Bee Man grabs Lily's arrowhead and tosses it to Aguirre
and then Frank moves over to fight against Aguirre
even though Frank is strong, the enemy gains an upper hand
and pierces his heart with a sharp sword
Frank takes back the arrowhead and passes it to Lily
before he falls into the river from the tree
Lily, Brother, and tribe leader run all the way into the jungle with the arrowhead
but Aguirre and his fellows are not allowed to leave the Amazon River due to the curse
so they cannot give a chase and just watch them leave
knowing their own limitations, the Spanish conquistadors enlist the Prince's help
so Bee Man send out his bees to inform the Prince of their emergency
the next morning, Lily finds Frank lying on the bank of the river
though the sword pierces through his heart, he emerges unscathed
Lily pulls the sword out from his body and comes to know more about his background
Frank reveals that his real name is Francisco, and he is one of the cursed conquistadors
Aguirre is a Spanish aristocrat
and the expedition to find the tree is originally a noble one to save Aguirre's sick daughter
among the conquistadors, Franks is in charge of drawing the map
Aguirre is saved by the local tribe, but he kills the villagers to get the arrowhead
his selfish motive causes Frank to switch his allegiance to help the villagers
in the end, the arrowhead is brought away by the daughter of the native chief
after the curse befalls them, Aguirre hates Frank, and they fight many battles
however, the battles prove meaningless as they are unable to die
later, Frank manages to trap Aguirre and the others in a cave
where the river could not reclaim them and where they become petrified
he then spends centuries searching for the tree to lift his own curse
but is unable to find it without the arrowhead, so he has finally given up
on the other hand, Brother is badly injured and taken care of by the tribe leader
Prince stands in the way of their returning trip and kidnaps Brother
he threatens Brother to tip off Lily's whereabouts
otherwise, he will blow up the tree and hundreds of villagers with torpedoes
without any choice, Brother reveals that Lily is venturing to the snake-looking watercourse
now Lily and Frank have reached the watercourse surrounded by waterfalls
it is hard to find any entrance, but Lily suspects that the entrance is hidden underwater
they go check out in the water and manage to find the switch as expected
after several attempts, they pull the switch, and a spectacular scene unfolds
the surface of the water begins to descend rapidly, and the Prince's submarine is shown
given that Brother is held hostage, Lily and Frank have to obey Prince's words
at the same time, the bees fly back to Aguirre
delivering the message that the entrance is found
shortly after, the water stops dropping, and the entrance is revealed
passing through the cave opening and a huge stone-vaulted gate
they finally get to see the magnificent Tears of the Moon
as compared to the gigantic tree, Frank's cruise looks rather small
the tree is so dry and dead that When Prince squeezes the trunk, it turns into dust
as Lily is most knowledgeable of the tree, Prince commands her to revive the tree
and then Lily comes to a circular building in the middle of the tree
where many murals are found in it
while solving the puzzles, the arrowhead is discovered to be a heart piece having a gem
after Lily places the gem into the mural, the tree under the blood moon miraculously blooms
everyone is stunned by the beauty of the tree
Lily and Frank exchange a look with one another, and then Lily shoots Frank
she then pretends to pledge loyalty to Prince
convincing him that she just needs a petal of the flower
Prince allows Lily to pick the flower, so he brings her up to the tree
needless to say, Frank does not die
and he secretly boards the cruise to knock down Prince's guards and sets Brother free
by this time, Prince can no longer threaten them
Lily seizes the opportunity to get away from Prince
and jumps to the trunk of the tree via a rope
as the moon is passing by the skylight, moonlight is about to disappear
so the flowers of the Tears of the Moon begin to fade quickly
fortunately, Lily picks a petal of the flower before it withers
Prince wants to grab the petal, but Lily throws it to Frank
Aguirre and other conquistadors appear at the location and start to chase Lily
Frank purposely waves the flower to attract Aguirre to himself
the Spanish conquistadors have all clung to the cruise for the flower petal
Frank puts the ship on full steam and sails at full speed towards the arch gate
under the magical tree, Lily and Brother deal with Prince
to their shock, Prince is crushed to death by a boulder
back to Frank's struggle with the conquistadors, the cruise crashes into the arch gate
at the moment the ship hits the gate, boulders fall off, and the river is cut off
as they leave the sight of the Amazon River
five conquistadors are trapped by the vines and turned into stones
Lily is sad to see Frank bound by the vines
and she sacrifices the mythical tree flower to revive him
although it might be too late for her to do, Lily puts the petal into Frank's mouth
miraculously, the curse is lifted, and Frank is free from the stones
Lily, Brother, Frank, and his pet jaguar hug together in celebration
returning to London, Frank and Lily begin their happy life together as a couple
