Expedition Happiness

It's not going to win any awards most likely. But Jesus some of you haters need to get some happiness in your life. It's a fun adventure that could certainly use some more explanation along the way. But I'm next to sure they did more living filming this than half of you couch potatoes spewing your hate.

I think there are a lot of jealous people who wish they could have done this adventure. Who cares how they paid for the trip? Who cares if they didn't show every last problem they encountered? The filming was beautiful, the intensity of their experience was evident, and the original music incredible. The work they did on the bus was amazing, and I respect the hard choice at the end. Just enjoy the movie for what it is, a beautiful adventure, and quit whining about how you would do it.

I didn't have much expectations for this based on the title. But I love travel, the mountains, and the road and this film really touched me. For amateurs the cinematogra[hy is excpetional and so is the soundtrack. Did I mention I love the mountains?

I don't understand all of the harsh reviews. Clearly they made some mistakes, but they are a friendly and engagining people. Maybe it is just internet hate, maybe I just long for the road. And ok, yes that bus was too damn big! They can't go naywhere in the city, They can't go far on mountain roads. And how they hell were they planning on getting it past the Darian Gap to Colombia???

Still, a beautiful journey with some great scenery and music. Enjoy.

Their dog Rudi is 90% on a short leash, not able to run free and gets sick after spending too much time in the bus, which is kind of a analogy for the whole movie: boring and absolutely no depth, no real plot and no personality, you don't get to know the two protagonist at all plus amateur camera work, which makes it really long 2 hours but great soundtrack.

So I agree that these two people did some dumb things and maybe complained too much. They also put their dog through a lot unfortunately. However, it did seem like they cared about the dog and tried to take care of it as best they could under the circumstances but maybe bringing the dog along in the first place was a bad idea. I'm not sure. I do also agree that this isn't really a very meaningful journey. It's just like others have said, a home movie. However, I wasn't bored. It was interesting to see them in different places and see what they experienced. It's fine. It probably could have been a lot better if they had tried to learn something from the whole journey (besides how to kill they dog). A documentary should contain a story and you should be able to take something away from it. Otherwise? Just make a vlog or something.
