Film Lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

Mountains of the Moon a very interesting movie, this movie is about the time after the Industrial Revolution when Europeans needed more materials for their big factories and more land for more factories. When the Europeans tried to take over Africa. In this movie Europeans were looking for the Source of the Nile River.
The Europeans faced many hardships to takeover Africa. It also took them a while to take over Africa. But at last they were successful. It wasn't very easy for them to win though. It was always a very hard fight for both sides. In the movie they showed how African tribes would sneak into their camp at nighttime and try to kill them and their people. In the move the character of Richard Burten gets attacked by a spear between his mouth. Which was very painful and described the type of hardships that the Europeans had to face. Another character, John Speak was captured by an African tribe and had his legs stabbed and broken. On his second trip to Africa a bug crawled into his ear and he had a very painful time by the way it was described or showed in the movie.
In the movie the lake that they found which is the source of the Nile River is now named after the Queen of England. That is not really that strange. Because when a country discovers something new, which has existed for other people for more than 100 years, is some how there and they decide to name it what ever they want. I guess they wanted it named after their Queen because she was like the main head person of England at that time.
England's technological advances helped a lot in talking over Africa because the Africans had very simple weapons like sharp knives and spears. But England had automatic guns, they had cannons and they had stuff like binoculars from which they could see people and animals from very far. So England’s technological advances were the main reason they were successful at taking over Africa.
England was able to take over Africa so quickly because of the technological advances in weapons and they had more medication to fight diseases that the people got in Africa so England was able to take over Africa really quickly
