#the great white silence#robert falcon scott#polar exploration#my screencaps#documentary film#1920s films#unlike South 1919 I read accounts of the expedition before watching this#(specifically cherry-garrard’s Worst Journey in the World)#and the film did not capture the narrative’s feeling for me#obviously you can’t compress 600 pages into a single film#but the goofy 20s intertitles in the first half of this felt so morbid knowing what would happen to scott#polar
