#MOVIE EXPLORER CORRECT NAMING FULL#
But there is still one explorer whose accomplishments are so fearless, audacious, and gallant and whose backstory is so preposterously noble (literally) and recounted with hilarious British understatement that we might not believe it but for this new documentary, simply called “Explorer.” Ranulph Fiennes, as he would prefer to be called, was born the 3rd Baronet of Banbury, full name: Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, with the title “Sir.” He has been dubbed by none other than the Guinness Book of World Records as “the greatest living explorer….spen(ding) his life in pursuit of extreme adventure.” Any single one of his accomplishments could have earned the Guinness Book’s Icon award, but as the list of some of them scrolls through the early part of this film, the cumulative impact is breathtaking.
