a few years ago, i read thor heyerdahl's "fatu-hiva: back to nature". i was very taken by it so when i read that the movie "kon-tiki" was being filmed, i almost cried. i did cry, how ever, when i saw it last night. it's a fantastic movie. i have not read the book, but was much pleased with everything about it. the actors, the pictures, the story... do watch it as soon as possible.
