First, let's talk about what I have seen from the black and yellow of heaven and earth from the perspective of an ordinary viewer.
Religion, history, sense of ritual, way of life, humanism, helplessness, tenderness, understanding, harmony, cruelty, origin, absence, life, worry. To sum it up, but not simply, it is the beauty of the Apollonian spirit that has not yet reached its fullest level, a relinquishment for the sake of attaining, an intentional choreography that is choreographed to inspire.
This is a record of the greatness that happens naturally.
Devotion is never out of reach. Not an ideal thing, but something "not your own" with an unfamiliar texture that most of you might run away if it came to you.
In another documentary about Tibetan areas, I have also seen a sea of candles like the following. An old lama guards the ancient temple for thousands of years, and carefully lights the candles one by one in the darkening sky. .
"The values that religion evokes are, in short, the forces that make human nature perfect."
There are many close-ups of characters in the film, and the focus is all on eye contact. But I don't know if it's my personal reason, but the other close-ups I see are quite normal, except for the Thai girl in this picture, I think she wants to cry a bit.
The natives in the jungle, the chiefs of the tribes, the urban girls in the 1990s, and the soldiers of war countries and peaceful countries, what are they thinking when they look at the camera? Think of yourself, the person behind the camera, or the other world, the outside world?
Or what about war?
Or what about different cultures?
The reason why I like this documentary is not that it explains how magnificent the human world is, but that when I open it at different times, there will be different ideas, and these ideas will never be carried through, they will change in the process I kept changing and eventually forming my own ideas. I've always disliked interpretive documentaries like propaganda, because maybe I'd give up thinking for myself. That being said, it is fortunate that the film is not accompanied by the deep and logical voice of God.
