Eleven episodes tell about the nature, life, animals, and plants on this earth from different perspectives. There are macro oceans, forests, natural wonders. There are large groups of wild, marine life. There are also nuanced scenes, such as the beauty of the underwater world, the germination of a seed, and how a beautiful bird of paradise sings and dances to win the favor of the opposite sex.
In addition to being beautiful and pleasing to the eye, it also accumulates knowledge. And was shaken by it. It is for the wonder of nature, for the endlessness of life, for the beauty of this world.
From east to west, from south to north, spring, summer, autumn and winter, desert oceans, rivers and lakes, tropical rain forests, plateau mountains and caves. . . . . . I can't think of any other area of the planet that this documentary doesn't cover. And this film also allowed me to see so many landscapes that I could never have witnessed in my very poor life.
In fact, however, the pulsation of the earth moved me the most. It is the narration and picture of the photographer in the last ten minutes of each episode. Almost every episode is an impossible task. Not only is it difficult, boring, and dangerous.
For example, to shoot emperor penguins in Antarctica, the photographer needs to be stationed day and night not far from the penguin colony for several months. When photographing polar bears in the Arctic, it is very dangerous to photograph small bears coming out of their burrows and big bears preying on them at close range.
Another example is going deep into caves, some of which have never been entered since ancient times, with a depth of tens of kilometers, winding and dangerous. The photographer was stationed in the cave for days with thousands of cockroaches and animal droppings.
Another example is to photograph the bird of paradise. During the season when the bird of paradise is in heat, a large "bird's nest" needs to be built next to the tree where it often haunts. The photographer is stationed in the bird's nest for eight hours a day, doing nothing but waiting.
Another example is to go deep into the bottom of the sea to shoot all kinds of marine life, shoot sharks and whales, and shoot lions, tigers, grizzlies and bears. . . . . .
Every episode of Earth Pulse can't be described only as exciting and shocking. They are indeed the best documentaries.
