MOVIES HISTORY An explorer pursues a jungle dream in The LOSt City 0 工 Z JAMES GRAY'S SYMPHONIC THE LOST CITYOF Z, ADAPTED from David Grann's 2009 book, is the kind ofgrand adventure epic few people know how t0 make anymore. Charlie Hunnam, summoning the perfect blend 0f ardor and under- statement, stars as real-life British explorer percy Fawcett, wh0, ⅲ 1925 , disappeared ⅲ the Amazon jungle while seeking a long-lost civilization. Others doubted its existence, but Fawcett was sure in his bones, and in his heart, that it was real. He devoted his life to locating it. ln the film, Fawcett gets his first inkling ofthis mythical outpost on a routine, if dangerous, exploratory Amazonian expedition in 1906. His passion is sparked when he glimpses a carved face nestled in a tree trunk, guarded by ajealous, growling panther. He returns home, but the jungle beckons stubbornly. His wife Nina (Sienna Miller, luminous and as- tute) supports his outlandish dreams. His eldest son Jack (Tom Holland, ofthe coming Spider-Man reboot) nurses boy- ish resentments. This is a family drama tOO, and the dynamics unfold in a way that's both believable and moving. Director Gray (The lmmigrant) does nothing by half mea- sures, and that certainly goes for his exploration ofFawcett's jungle. With ace cinematographer Darius Khondji, he cap- tures the wonders and horrors Of thi$ mirror-world Eden: squeaky bats flapping through tree boughs at night, illnesses that cause sturdy men to cough up black gunk, a sacred hill- side ritual illuminated by flickering torches. Pictures with the grand sweep and dreamy energy ofthis one don't come along every year—they barely come along at all.

N 〇 w she wants tO help others find a way through grief By BeIinda Luscombe FOR DAVE GOLDBERG, MAY 1 , 2015 , WAS THE BEST DAY WITH the worst ending. The SurveyMonkey CEO was celebrating the 50th birthday of one of his closest buddies at a palm-fringed, $12,750-a-night villa in Punta Mita, a secluded Mexican resort favored by the Silicon Valley elite. The vacation had been んⅡ of what he loved: games with family and friends, walks and long talks by the pool. When he climbed on the fitness-center tread- mill that Friday, nothing but blue sky appeared ahead: his com- pany was doing well, his children were healthy, and he was as in love as ever with his superwoman wife Sheryl Sandberg, Face- book's C00 and the author of も ea . Then his heart gave out. Goldberg—Goldie to his friends—was only 47 when his younger brother R0b, R0b's wife and Sandberg found him lying in a halo ofblood, his skin blue. "I started doing CPR," says Rob. "I remember not being sure if I could feel a pulse or if it was really my ow れ heart pounding. ” Goldberg was rushed to San Javier Hospital, a dimly lit medical center. Sandberg and one of 町 her best friends, Marne Levine, sat on the linoleum floor waiting for a doctor tO give them the news they didn't want. ln short order—though she says it felt agonizingly slow— Sandberg, the complex-problem solver, the micromanager, the person with an almost freakish understanding OfhOW tO arrive at the best possible results, was thrust against something un- familiar: an outcome she couldn't change. "The wails ofher cry- ing in that hospital were unlike anything that l'd ever heard in my life,: ” says Phil Deutch, Levine's husband and the person whose birthday they were celebrating. "lt was an awful, awful scene. ” As they were leaving Goldberg's body for the last time, Sand- berg ran back t0 give him one more hug.

To the right, the ide a is an attractively simple alterna- tive tO bloated social-welfare regimes. Critics come from all sides too: they say the UBI is just a decoy tO starve government assistance that bOOSts universal child care or free college tuition. Or it's one more misguided program bound to result in eliminating work incentives, rendering large numbers ofpeople dependent on the government. MOSt UBI skeptics, and some proponents, sooner or later come tO the conclusion that the costs would be absurdly prohibitive ⅲ any case. One critic puts the figure ⅲ the U. S. at $ 3 trillion annually. Still, the idea is increasingly being put into real- world trials. Early this year, Finland became the first European country to pay unemployed citizens an unconditional monthly sum. The two-year national pilot program, gives 2 , 000 unemployed Finns ages 25 to 58 a guaranteed 0560 (around $ 590 ) , money that would keep coming even ifthey find work. The country's social-security agency says the test is intended tO cut red tape, alleviate poverty and, especially, reduce unemployment. lts existing system can disincentivize taking work because even IOW earnings prompt a cut in benefits. The Finns aren't alone: similar experiments are moving forward in Canada, the Netherlands and ltaly. The lndian governme nt appears t0 be mulling a small UBI as a strategy t0 cut the country's most extreme poverty. These tests are badly needed. Despite its age, the UBI has been studied only sparingly and inconclusively. Perhaps it should be no surprise then that putting it in beta has gained backers in SiIicon VaIIey. Y Combinator, a startup incubator, is trying it with 100 families in Oakland, Calif., this year, paymg eachbetween $ 1 , 000 and $ 2 , 000 a month. Tech's big thinkers, like BilI Gates and EIon Musk, have concluded a UBI is likely inevitable. They—like many in academia, finance and labor— see a great wave ofjob-destroying robots and artificial intelligence on the horizon. Anxieties, like dreams, Often tell us more about the shape of the present than the way things are likely to turn out in the future. That i s almost certainly the case when it comes tO J0b-razing technology—especially ifthe hyperbolic gloom that accompanied Ford's assembly line or the IBM mainframe are any p recurso r. Eve n S O, the result has been a new push for concrete answers. And the difference between a solution and a thought experiment, even a beguiling and storied one, is going t0 be in the data. 16 TIME April 24 , 2017 ロ DIGITS $ 983 MILLION Disney's Beautyand the Beast has earned nearly $ 1 billion worldwide at the bOX office since itS March 17 opening; it could soon dethrone Alice in Wonderland ( 2010 ) asthe company's top-grossing live-action remake CHARTOON BOOK IN BRIEF The pitfalls 0f giving it all away ARE BILLIONAIRE PHILANTHROPISTS uniquely good for society?
