If a person can only do one thing in his life and do it to perfection, how would each person choose?
Of course, this is just a topic. Few people can focus on a goal, and even fewer people devote their lives to it.
And this matter, the old man of this documentary has done it.
The opening title starts with the Chernobyl radiation incident, and the end of the movie ends with the current ending of this incident. The changes made by decades of it are surprising and magical, and finally helpless and uncomfortable.
The old man dedicated his life to endless exploration of nature. He has witnessed the great changes of the earth as he wanders around for a long time. He is still working to protect the earth and continue the development of mankind at an age when he should enjoy his old age regardless of the funeral. The event went around and preached, and finally a documentary preaching documentary was published.
This old man has been contributing to nature all his life, and in his later years is still running around calling for all mankind, hoping to awaken it.
Human beings have been living on the earth for many years. At first, they did not hesitate to destroy the ecological environment in order to improve the quality of life. Later, they also improved. However, various concerns and the need for stable development of various measures that are beneficial to mankind are also needed. To improve the balanced development of natural ecology, these two coexisting steps are mutually exclusive, and fish and bear's paws cannot have both. The final result is that sustainable development also stabilizes the ecology. The splashes that can stabilize the ecological development are too small and no one cares about it for a long time.
The father's affectionate and eloquent narration and various kind reminders in the film are really moving, and he can't help asking himself whether he should do something to make the world a better place, and how he can protect this dying earth.
In what the old man said, the earth has a certain self-healing ability, but this self-healing ability will eventually lead to the destruction of mankind. What he calls more is that protecting the earth means protecting all mankind, and restoring the ecological balance is the most appropriate The way. I agree with this.
The old man made several points, one of which is to slow down the rate of human birth.
This point keeps turning around in my mind. I remember that in many movies I have watched before, there is a very classic character in the reunion, Thanos. Everyone thinks he is a bad person, but in my opinion, he is a good person who sees the future and acts against the will of mankind. He used gloves to indiscriminately erase the existence of half of the population on the earth, allowing the remaining humans to continue to multiply and survive. This move actually solves the biggest problem at present, but it only exists in the movie.
I hope that more people can see this kind of film. One person can only contribute a small amount of power. One hundred people and ten million people gather together. It is not insignificant, but the power that shakes mountains and rivers.
The sad thing is that, up to now, less than 2,000 people have clicked this button, which is far from the number of people who want to watch it, which is close to 8,000.
I hope you, me, and him who see this film can start with the simplest things of caring for the environment, not stepping on or picking flowers and plants. In this life, at least do this little thing.
