Following Sebastian's memories, witnessing disaster, destruction, death and rebirth, my heart is very heavy, but I also understand very well what the movie said "witnessed so many things destroyed and destroyed, to this planet, Sebastian Tian has a more optimistic attitude"
Because of political turmoil, he left the motherland when he was young and drifted abroad. Born an economist, I accidentally discovered the charm of photos, so I and my wife resolutely abandoned everything and started from scratch. This is probably the power of companionship and trust, which can always make people create miracles. From the rise of humanistic photography, primitive tribes - another America - northeastern Brazil - African refugees - worker records - exiled lives - pay tribute to the earth. In fact, his photography project is a step-by-step exploration of his inner world. What has never changed is the importance of his hometown to him. All projects are closely related to Brazil, and it is probably that unique environment that has made him develop a perspective on the world. From trying to understand this land, to discovering his suffering, hoping to get the world's attention, to hoping to make improvements... But step by step, it turns out that many huge disasters are political victims, and human beings regard life for their own selfishness. For grass mustard. Not just the creation of refugees, but even deportations and massacres, seemingly endlessly. Everything finally made him despair of mankind, and he could never forgive him!
However, his wife proposed to restore his hometown, to restore the tropical rainforest of his childhood in the arid land. Isn't this another kind of start, persisted for several years, two million trees, they really restored everything to the way it was, and he was full of confidence in the earth again, believing that the earth is worthy of awe, if someone is unremitting Work hard, everything is the beginning~
That's why there will be later nature photography, walruses with exposed tusks, polar bears lying on their stomachs... Going deep into no-man's land, seeing people as part of natural animals, feeling nature, revering nature, expressing nature, and letting people feel Naturally there is more love and awe.
From the film, I really felt the power of recording, the oppression and cruelty that came upon me, which made people feel more awe and kindness.
