Rev. Samuel Sayer
for Rev. Samuel Sayer in The African Queen
Suggested by jakubduda
Remake of a phenomenal movie of The African Queen which is a 1951 adventure film adapted from the 1935 novel of the same name by C. S. Forester. The year is 1914. The First World War is raging in Europe, but here, deep in the interior of the African continent, its echoes are still very distant. The first news about her is brought to two white missionaries, siblings Samuel and Rosa Sayer, to a small native village by Charlie Allnut, the owner and captain of a rattling rusty steamboat with the rather inappropriate name of the African Queen. It sails from one native settlement to another, delivers mail, supplies, explosives for the local mines, and generally functions as a kind of - albeit very vague - link with civilization. In his presentation, however, the war in Europe is something quite vague, something that does not concern the locals very much. However, it will soon become clear that even Africa will not be spared. And so - the control of fate and the coincidence of the ill-fated bottle - an unequal pair soon find themselves on board: the puritanical, uptight missionary Róza and a vagabond reminiscent of Charlie Allnut, whose greatest happiness in life is full of gin. Charlie took Rose on board in a fit of natural human compassion and the remnants of gentlemanliness that rose in his chest at the sight of the abandoned woman. However, they had no idea what idea would hatch in the crazy old virgin missionary's head and what she would want from him.
