The film is based on the true story of the Rajah of Sarawak, James Brooke, who has been suggested as one of the inspirations for the Rudyard Kipling story The Man Who Would Be King, and Joseph Conrad’s novel Lord Jim. Brooke was a former soldier in the Bengal Army who sailed to Borneo which was still under the control of Bruneian Sultanate in 1839, where he helped the Sultan of Brunei’s governor (Pengiran Indera Mahkota, title for the governor) put down a local rebellion and took over as governor of what became the Raja of Sarawak as his own private kingdom. He was knighted by Queen Victoria of England prior to being appointed Governor of the new Crown Colony of Labuan. Brooke’s dynasty lasted three generations and spanned a century.Edge of the World 2021 full Movie Download.
With its winsome narration, frequent cutaways to nature and focus on discovery, “Edge of the World” resembles nothing so much as Terrence Malick’s similarly titled “The New World.” Say this for director Michael Haussman and writer Rob Allyn: They have good taste. Their period drama set in 19th-century Borneo may not rise to the level of its lyrical predecessor — few movies do, after all — but there are worse transgressions than a film’s grasp exceeding its reach.
In yet another similarity to Malick’s retelling of the American creation myth, “Edge of the World” follows an English explorer who finds more than he was expecting upon arriving in a foreign land. Here it’s Sir James Brooke (Johnathan Rhys Meyers), who arrives in Borneo in 1839 and quickly meets two princes vying for power; that they’re cousins only adds to the intrigue — and tension. Much to their (and, indeed, our) surprise, Brooke doesn’t appear to have sailed this far to conquer, only to explore and catalogue the new environs to which he’s strangely drawn.
