A man on a desert island

A history of an anti Japanese resistance movement member on one of a desert island on Philippines gained notoriety in world press over a dozen years ago. Afraid of being caught he retreated into the jungle and was staying there till the beginning of 70’s. Because of lack of information, he did not know that the hostilities ended with the surrender of the Japanese before the Americans.

Throughout this period he tried to skulk and never revealed his location slipping from one clump of trees to another avoiding open spaces. He organized a shelter in a cave and was shooting at wild rabbits and birds until the end of his ammunition. Later he gained a fairly large skill in approaching to the animals or constructing primitive traps for catching small animals, as well as he learned how to fish using a spear made ​​of a sharpened stick. He supplemented his diet with wild fruits and edible plant roots.

He had never got a cold there because the climate in those regions is extremely mild and favorable to such feats as the year-round temperature is 18-25 Celsius degrees. However, he was plagued by as skin diseases like mycosis and stomach disorders due to amoebic dysentery. However, familiar with traditional local treatment methods, which consisted of decoctions prepared from certain herbs, buds and flowers, he was able to keep these diseases in tolerable limits.

As a result of police action against the Marxist guerrillas on the island, he was captured and to his enormous surprise, found out that the country is no longer occupied by the Japanese. When they brought him to the press conference immediately after the capture, he was dressed like a savage. He said that he saw people twice during his voluntary exile: Coast Guard boat in the distance, which sped along the shore and the man with shaved to the skin head, who looked like a Buddhist monk praying in the wilderness, but he did not approach him, fearing that he is a Japanese spy.

At the beginning I want to say it is great that someone organized films show at weekend. This is a very good way of spending a spare time on Saturday. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed by Saturday’s film.

Firstly I think that 5 p.m. it is a little late for that kind of show for family. It should start earlier. Moreover, when we are talking about family films, Master Plot is absolutely not for everyone, especially for young children.
