From life to death, from death to life.

Impressive is a description of a child at birth - "they have not been baptized, so they can't reach heaven, they can only linger on the 'edge'." Then there is a close-up close-up, the newborn child has not yet suffered , The cheeks are plump and plump, the eyes are half-open, and they have begun to secrete mucus to form a film. famine. If their corpses are to be called mummies, they don't even need to be processed. Of course, I don't know the exact procedure for making mummies. Maybe some preservatives are still missing, and maybe the extremely dry and water-deficient environment can make up for it. The man's rib is craggy and the flesh is supported, and the woman's breast is as dry as a dry well. The blood vessels are crowded by the distance between the skin and the bone. People will not be surprised that this person is dead, but that this person has lived. In this land where there is no trust, there are always gunshots from the government, and the elimination of refugees by means of elimination is never just a joke. There was no expression on the faces of those who were shuffling. After all, there was nothing to be happy about, and nothing to cry about. It was our kind who were thrown over other bodies by the forklift, and it was our kind who gave the "judgment" to those who had been hiding in the church where they believed in all their lives. Sebastian appears in the film from time to time, with pure black as the background, and he recollects and narrates slowly without any expression. You will find that we are really lucky, not only lucky to have healthy flesh and blood, but also that no one in the entire country is in such a bad political and natural environment. So far, most of the film has been used to write "death". I think this is still an excellent film, but it doesn't give me any more turbulence. However, just like the sudden continuous rain on the dry land, something colorful suddenly spread out. "Why don't we keep planting trees here?" Lilia said. This is where Sebastian was born. For a time, all the greenery and the singing of birds were lost here, but fortunately there are still people who remember that scene, and that scene is not impossible to reproduce. So the rebuilding begins. For the inexperienced, keeping the tree alive has become the simplest dream. Lilia dreams of the tree dying. Green represents hope. He photographed so many people, but in the end it was the earth that gave him peace. He was well aware of the dilemma of switching the field, but he didn't care. He started photographing scenery and life. His works reveal the joy of "birth", and his actions to introduce the works are also positive. He smiled, different from him who introduced the refugees. Maybe it's always like this, if he has seen "death", then he can realize "life". Loved the story about his Indian friend. Group The organization asked him not to send things to destroy the nature of the Indians, and his friends asked him to send him a seemingly insignificant knife. So his friend said, throw your knife out the plane window, and I'll follow the plane's trajectory to find it. How romantic and intelligent this Indian who is at one with nature has. As Sebastian said, this forest will return to the way he was born when he grows old. The same is true of his life, from simple life, to seeing death, and then returning to life. Earth can do the same, from destruction to reconstruction. This film is probably so powerful that it makes people who are busy with "life" think about "death", and people who are familiar with "death" rethink "life".

The Salt of the Earth quotes

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
