      salt for light

      The Gospel of Matthew

      5:13 You are the salt of the earth. If salt loses its taste, how can it be made salty again? It will be useless in the future, but it will be thrown out and trampled by others.

      5:14 You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden.

      5:15 When a man lights a lamp, he puts it not under the bucket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to the family.

      5:16 So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good...

      The Salt of the Earth movie review

      Everything you and I do has its origins in two motives: libidinal (libido) and aggression.

      — Freud

      Travel all over the earth, all things circulate

      Following in the footsteps of the photographer, I saw the other side of people, animals and nature. There were 50,000 people panning for gold in Brazil’s Dakken, and the oil field fire in Kuwait covered the sky. The Canadian fire brigade cleaned the car every night. Driving into tainted oil fields, massacres in Rwanda, human beings like ants, perhaps the most cruel animal, scrawny people in Ethiopia dying or waiting to die of starvation and disease, naked Indians with a log in their chin,...

      opinion

      I remembered seeing Luo Hong’s photography exhibition outside Beijing a few years ago, and was shocked by the beautiful scene in Africa, especially Nachun Lake. When I saw those magical beauty that I couldn’t imagine being photographed in front of me, I was more than shocked. Touched, touched by the beauty of the earth, touched by the beauty of life, touched people who sacrificed their lives to broaden their horizons for people who may never be able to go to these places for a lifetime,...

      Director Wim Wenders and documentary photographer Sebastian Salgado's legendary life and photography. The black-and-white photo "slideshows" are the largest, covering gold mines in Brazil, poverty in Niger, refugees in Congo, oil fields in Kuwait, the civil war in Yugoslavia, massacres in Rwanda, and more. After reading all the suffering and cruelty in the world, Salgado turned to the natural world, photographed primitive and beautiful people and animals, and healed the wounds of the soul....

    Creative background

    In 1988, director Wim was attracted by two black and white photos taken at the Serra Perada gold mine in Brazil in an exhibition. The faces of the people in the scene are all blackened with sand, carrying heavy bags of golden sand on their backs, and they ride simple ladders down to the abyss that they can't see to the end. They come from all classes of society, from unemployed intellectuals to farmers who have lost their land. Gold is...

    Movie quotes

    • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.

    • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
