If you don't already know the story retold in "Gold", do not research this film before you watch it, and don't read any "spoiler" reviews.
You will find it a far more rewarding journey as you get sucked in to the surreal world of prospecting portrayed in this masterpiece.
Whilst gold is but one of many precious metals prospected for down the ages, it just seems to hold a special place in our hearts, and this film is a perfect illustration of that.
Many modern-day politicians and economists would have us believe that gold is not a currency and is of limited value to us. Look no further than this movie for compelling evidence to the contrary. That the mere potential for discovering a rich seam of the yellow metal beneath our feet has us all a quiver.
There are many different angles from which one could review this film, most of which can't be explored in a review that implores you to watch it unburdened by any prior knowledge of the subject matter.
However, the main angle for me is one that is easily shared either pre or post watching this great movie. It is that gold definitely is a currency in its own right, and always will be, no matter how much the politicians and economists tell us otherwise.
