I've been wondering why the title is "Salt of the Earth". I checked the information, and it turned out to be from "Matthew 5:13-16": You are the salt of the world. 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. You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden. When a person lights a lamp, it is not placed under the bucket, but on the lampstand, and it illuminates the family. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Director Wim Wenders, I like a lot of his works: "Havana", "Under the Berlin Sky", "Looking for Ozu", "Days on the Cloud"... This one, he and Salgar Together with his many sons, he tells the story of Brazilian photographer Sebastian Salgado.
Human suffering, war, death, famine, and plague, Sebastian displayed one by one in black and white photos, shocking. So we know that on this planet, there are so many horrific and horrific things. I love when the camera is on Sebastian, with only his face in the camera, listening to his muffled, muffled statement, and then his face blends into his black and white photo. I like his voice, vicissitudes and compassion.
After dedicating almost his life to humanistic documentary photography, Sebastian turned to nature. With the power of nature, resolve the pain stagnant in the bottom of my heart. After returning to Brazil, he planted many trees to give back to the earth. He said: When I die, the forest we planted will return to the way I was born, and the cycle will be completed. This is the story of my life.
I admire him, Sebastian Salgado, an amazing man.
