Film Lesson "Mountains of the Moon"

In the Film "Mountains of the Moon" it is very interesting the role of the movie. The two most important people in the Movie was Richard Francis and John Hanning Speke. They were the explores who wanted to find the Nile. Their were many hardships that the Europeans had to face. Their were always tribes attacking them or stealing the, when they were sleeping. They would have to work 10 miles a day. In the movie I think they walked like 200-300 miles in 6 months. The climate was horrible. It was dry and hot. And the African People who were traveling with them would die because of diseases happening and their would be alot of bugs their. In one part of the film John Hanning Speke lays down in his bed in his tent and he forgot to put a net over him so bugs wont go to him when we is sleeping. And you see how a bug went to his ear and it was pain for him. In a another part Richard Francis gets a spear across his jaw and later on in the movie he gets a disease and he can't walk. Richard Francis and John Hanning Speke named the source of the Nile River Lake Victoria because they were the one to find it. And they had power over Africa so if Africa tried to change the name, the British would take them over and get the name back. The primary technology that Europeans had over African people was that they had thermometers, Magnifying Glass, Guns and More. Europeans were more ahead in Technology. The Europeans were able to conquer Africa because they had better technology. Because the Europeans had guns and later on they found medicine for the disease that were located in Africa. And the Europeans also invented later on the machine gun. And Africa people only had spears. So compared to Europeans and African People, Europeans had more advanced technology.
