If the extreme time fog talks about 10 a.m. breakfast, it shouldn't be 9:59 or 10:01 either. So none of his employees are permanent because of this nature of his. If one or the other goes away on his own, the other one is cut off by the fog himself for bizarre reasons. Eventually a man named Pasoparto was hired.

On the other hand, Fogg and his sailors have to face many problems while traveling around the world. One by one the problems are making Fogg too late. How will he complete this trip?
This is a unique fairy tale. When did Jules Verne write that? We see this book on the screen in 1956, published in 182-63. It is amazing how many years ago the people behind this film were perfect in making this film.
Interestingly, when the story character's fog came to South Asia, most of the time, it was filmed in Srimangal, Bangladesh. A large part of the train, including the mad elephant, has been depicted there.

Honestly, the entire movie team including the director traveled to 13 countries and the total shooting set was about 140. Notable among them is Bangladesh. The shooting took place in Srimangal and present Lauyachhara areas of Moulvibazar district. Those who have visited Lauyachhara and Srimangal areas will see that the shooting spot has been marked. A picture of Hollywood was shot in our country long ago! Jules Verne's Fogg came on a world tour and toured our country.
The Oscar-winning movie has an IMDb rating of 8+, but it is clear that this movie should not be judged by this rating. Because in that era there was no technology, there was not so much technical skill. Despite not having the world in his hands, one went out to see the whole world under the influence of Zed. How strange! The idea of this story, the plot, the writing about each country, every event is presented in books or movies in such a perfect way that there is no room for error.
Scenes of flying balloons, scenes of ice cubes being lifted from a high glacier, or views of a train derailment. Which one can be given a number is a sweet problem. When you read a book, you will feel like you are fighting with a mad elephant.
Crazy Perso or Sirius Fogg, you will find humor in the words of the two, you will get serious talk. One of the scenes in this movie shows a rocket flying. But it is quite mysterious. It is unknown at this time what he did to cause the injuries. Like the writer, the director has left a lot of secrets in making movies.
Although the detective character seemed quite stupid, was he really stupid or not? Although many people do not like the performance of the detective, everyone loves Fogg and Parso.

Meanwhile, listening to Fogg's friends can be a little annoying at times. The nature of judging people but not today. It is a very old habit of human beings to criticize others without knowing or understanding it - as if there is no country-time difference.
Michael Todd was in the production, and Michael Anderson showed great skill as the director of this Oscar winning movie. Although not in 60 days, you can travel around the world in 18 minutes with Fog. But at the end of 60 days, you can fulfill your stubbornness or oath? What did Fog do? Or failed?
Actor Cantinflass played the role of Parso. Her acting career started with this movie. He later gained a wide reputation as a comedian. David Niven plays the tourist or the main character. He made it clear that he would mistakenly call the book's fog and the movie's fog the same person. The author's description of the fog in the book is similar to that of the on-screen fog.

In conclusion, what Fogg or Parso's words or deeds teach us is that if there is perseverance, will and desire, anything impossible can be made possible. Motivational clutter can make you sleepy after watching this movie, if you watch this movie, it will not come, but after watching it, you will think, hey, I will do what I thought I could not do. This movie can be your inspiration if you are upset or broken. But do you have the breath to travel the world in these eighty days?
