      Time shines through the light on the water of the Ganges

      Humans are born in nature, and human beings are also natural. A single person is like a grass, the grass is trying to jump high and wants to become a tree, and the tree wants to touch the sky. No matter how weeds and mustards jump, they can't get rid of the dust and dirt, but when they join together, there is indeed a wonderful and terrifying calmness, just as the green grass and mustards are connected together to become tundra, and just like the deep condensation of water also becomes a...

      If you could only watch one movie in your life, it should be it.

      "Baraka", "the greatest documentary of the twentieth century", the title Baraka is an ancient Islamic Sufi word, which means "blessing". The Chinese translation name is "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". It should be that the translator felt the philosophical thinking brought about by the changes of the world and the times after watching the film.

      The film was a huge investment, using expensive TODD-AQ 70mm format shooting equipment, which lasted 14 months and traveled through 24 countries...

      The star is brilliant - how many light-years away is that light?

      all beings

      See the world from God's perspective

      Only video, background music, no narration, no text

      At first I thought it would be better to at least mark the place names in words?

      After thinking about it

      like a painting without words

      Painting gives us the most intuitive feeling

      The kind of beauty and touching that directly hits the soul

      All that is needed is visual communication

      Of course, if you want to know more about this...

      Lose the ego, you can gain eternity - "Tian Di Xuan Huang" film review

      who I am? Where am I from? Where am I going? There never seems to be a definitive answer to these three well-known questions. The uncertainty of life and the universe in which one lives has always haunted tiny humans and even smaller individuals. This uncertainty is accompanied by a sense of precariousness, which makes individuals and generations struggle to find, let each ethnic group, and even all other living or inanimate beings drift in the vast universe, or rise and make noise. Or fall...

      It makes people hate that the TV at home cannot have documentaries with the size of the TV wall. The religious connotation is strong, and the slow-motion filming is shown at normal speed, and it feels like a thousand years at a glance. There is no narration, so some regions still don't know where it is. But it does not affect the discussion of the theme of the film at all. Workers work in cycles like machines. The water-like movement of pedestrians makes the film look like an Impressionist...

      20130221 After all, the documentary filmed 20 years earlier than SAMSARA had much less equipment and materials. At that time, there was no China threat theory, so I filmed soldiers standing guard and the Terracotta Warriors. At that time, China’s status as a world factory was not fully established. Indonesia and Japan were far from the assembly line. There is no sense of the picture; at that time, the crowds of the subway and bus in Beijing and Shanghai were not shocking enough...

      Visual and auditory enjoyment, human religion, history, culture and beautiful and changeable natural scenery fill every shot, which is both contradictory and fusion. The difficulty of slow motion, fast motion, long shot, and aerial photography has long been the value of this...

      Same as Samsara, every ten years. Records can give you infinite boundless boundlessness, and only feel that life is short. Do you know that there is another civilization outside the civilization, trillions of years ago, billions of years ago, there was another civilization that existed long ago? We are repeating today, another earth will be born in a trillion...
