After three years, I'm finally here again - the Film Archive. Today's screening is the documentary "The Salt of the Earth", which mainly records the life trajectory of the famous photographer Salgado and the details of his main achievements. From the very beginning, I was shocked by the first photo of a mining cave in South America. The huge cave that swallowed tens of thousands of people like a giant beast, one by one similar to the human body, the key is the background sound, no machines, no noise, and It is the kind of solemnity that can almost be described as quiet. I admit that the word is not used well, but it will give me a bit of a feeling in the cinema, not like the human world, such a place that is far from our lives, a place without machines and electricity, and the people there are also for the sake of If you sacrifice your life for money, you will fall into the abyss if you take a step in the air. In this way, there may really be no paradise. . . .
The two biggest feelings:
1. After witnessing the most cruel and dark side of human society, the photographer finally turned to nature, fell into the arms of Mother Earth, and regained his confidence. It seems to have deepened my pessimistic attitude towards the world.... But the ending of the last "reincarnation" is very touching.
2. When he and his family were devastated, his wife proposed to turn the barren, dry and barren land back into a forest, and it worked! His wife is so great!
BTW, the soundtrack is super nice, and the sound of erhu and guzheng goes well with the magnificent scenery~
