I want to thank him, thank him from the bottom of my heart! This kind of film is definitely worth taking the high-definition version to come back and enjoy the aftertaste slowly.
I would also like to thank director Werner Herzog, I didn't pay much attention to your documentaries before. In the future, I will definitely read it carefully.
The whiteness and purity of the Antarctic, we have already experienced one or two of them when we watched some geographic films and emperor penguin diaries. But this time, Herzog turned the camera on the people there, and from their mouths, from their eyes, we saw the other side of the South Pole.
-- An iceberg is a living creature, moving at a speed of how many kilometers per second. You can't imagine what the earth will look like under the trend of global warming for hundreds or even thousands of years at this rate. Is it a vast ocean, and what human beings live in has now become an underwater castle . The Over the ice chapter of the Extra Edition uses more lenses and images to show us the boundless whiteness and the towering icebergs.
-- Those strangely shaped icicles and strange creatures under the glaciers, like pentacles, like shells. There are also very different pink jellyfish, as if the body like a human brain is inside. Amazing! The Extra edition also includes an article Under the ice, which shows the beautiful world under the iceberg in more detail in 30 minutes.
--And the penguin with a lot of personality, Herzog said at the beginning that his film is not just about the penguin. Indeed, this is just one of his many shots. When I looked at the picture of the stray penguin, desperately walking towards the mountains, even if it only died on the road, I was worried for a while. Herzog asked the penguinist, and he didn't know the answer, he just said that if he dragged it back to base camp, it would still run towards the mountains again. A biological phenomenon that never has an answer.
--Everyone at McMurdo Station has their own unusual story. The bus driver in the banking industry, the philosopher who drives the heavy machinery, the linguist who grows plants, the female walker who can shrink into a travel bag, the well-equipped prison escaper at all times. . . What was seen on each of their faces was a joy and peace that came from the heart. They are going through the most unusual process of self-knowledge, self-realization, and self-release. They are also contributing to the research and revealing of the magic and mystery of Antarctica. Really happy! I envy them and admire them. After all, at the same time, they are gambling their own lives with the unknown nature.
Amazing, this is the only word that filled my mind while watching the film. Let's express it all in that beautiful phrase.
"Throughing our eyes, the universe perceiving itself.
Through our ears, the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies.
We are the witness through which the universe becomes consious of its glory, of its magnificence.
Through our eyes the universe can understand Self.
Through our ears, the universe hears its own harmonious sound.
We are the witnesses of the universe, and
through us, the universe perceives its own glory and splendor.
" It seemed like a perfect ending to the chanting and moving seal sounds. But it seems that there are still beautiful stories and pictures that are still continuing in the mysterious Antarctic. And I, after experiencing a spiritual shock and baptism, choose only silence. . . .
