Scenario

When the best Airmail pilot, Henri Guillaumet, disappears in the Andes, his best friend, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, decides to go in search of him against all odds. The little prince has been in every household, that’s why the author’s story was eagerly awaited. The story is about the time when his childhood friend Gillaumet and he work for the postal service between Argentina and Chile. So far, so good. They are childhood friends and the same age. Now here’s the problem, when they got older, the age difference is almost 20 years. So here’s my criticism. Why do I take Cassal who is 57 years old to play a 29 year old? Saint Ex should be 30, played by a 41 year old still ok. Diane Krueger chose to match Cassal’s age. Does the French film industry not have young actors? So the choice of actors, although good actors, was bad. The visuals were great, but the scenes on the plane are not realistic!
