"Meet at the End of the World"

"Meet at the End of the World", to be honest, this film makes me ambiguous because it is near and far from me. When it comes to protecting nature, it is everyone's duty, and it is very close to me; the event happened in Antarctica, a contest between conservation and hunting, but it is so far away from me. Watching this film, I only hold the original intention of taking a look at the beautiful scenery and strengthening the awareness of protecting nature, so there is neither the best nor the worst. I admire the enthusiasm, passion, utilitarianism, and fear of sacrifice of a group of people. I have no intention or fear of checking whether there is a division of interests. I will not investigate the beauty of fantasy for the time being, but believe it. Because whether it is the reverence of the noble in the heart or the drive of the source of interests, the courage to challenge and do it is already worthy of our admiration. Reminds me of a saying that someone said: being good to someone is either a need for balance in one’s own heart, or a silhouette of competing interests. It’s understandable, it’s all for oneself, but one is spiritual, the other is material, and there are some other things. both. All good, as long as the world is moving in a good direction is enough.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes
-
Werner Herzog: For this and many other reasons, our presence on this planet does not seem to be sustainable. Our technical civilization makes us particularly vulnerable. There is talk all over the scientific community about climate change. Many of them agree, the end of human life on this earth is assured. Human life is part of an endless chain of catastrophies, the demise of the dinosaurs being just one of these events. We seem to be next.

Werner Herzog: As if we had wanted to leave one remnant of our presence on this planet, they would find a frozen sturgeon mysteriously hidden away beneath the mathematically precise true south pole. They stash it back away into its frozen shrine for another eternity.
