Many people comment on the salt of the earth, each with their own understanding of the title. I always thought it was referring to the world where the grain of black and white film feeds back. The story is a bit boring and boring at the beginning, but it gradually deepens, and there are a few points that are more catchy.
The first is to discover that this is a film of a son filming his father's life's work and pursuits. Relatives, many times their work status is precisely the blind spot for relatives to get along, which is the most neglected part, but the son in the documentary uses his own lens to record the career of his parents.
There are three stages in filming and recording the world:
Out of a strong personal interest in photography, the photographer's father at this time was pursuing the dream job. So he went to a lot of places to shoot.
In photography, the stage of feeling the dark side of the world. The experience of photographing refugees, poverty, and death left photographer dad in a kind of gloom and pain. It also tells a sigh of the forest where my parents were young.
The third stage is from replanting trees, and the photographer's father rediscovers his love for the beauty of the earth and the beautiful things in life. What is also touching is that there is no such thing as eternal darkness in life. As long as we start a series of beautiful actions, we can believe that beauty will follow.
