, the film master I admire most, always has that point of view. Unique, like an alien visitor, jumping out of the entire human civilization and looking at our world calmly. In his documentaries, there has never been a lack of "paranoid" people, from crazy musicians to extreme animal protectionists, from romantic scientists to incredible actors. These different people have a common title—professional dreamer.
When it comes to Antarctica, there is no such thing as "south". This is a holy land for dreamers. Those who are unfettered usually fall to the bottom of the earth-Indian royals are welding pipes, bankers are driving buses, philosophers are manipulating bulldozers, PhDs are washing dishes, linguists are here without language. On the mainland. These people were once hunted down in Guatemala by indigenous people wielding machetes; they smuggled from Ecuador to Peru through the sewers; they drove garbage trucks all the way from London to Africa, and were chased by angry elephants through the swamps full of tsetse flies; Trapped in the airport that was blown up in the civil war, dashing on the runway full of bomb craters; fighting with the insurgents in the bar, and finally being rescued by the drunk Russian pilot...With this kind of experience, you can come to Antarctica.
It is too logical for them to meet at the end of the world. People here will make natural selection, and those who come here have the idea of reaching the end of the world. The warp lines on the map converge a little, and they meet. In this real and unreal world, people walked through those magical lands with Odysseus and Argonauts. The fascination with the world has always been with them.
In this magical continent, even animals are tainted with romantic paranoia. The crazy penguin left the sea, left the nest, and stubbornly rushed to the inland mountains, even facing a distance of 3,000 kilometers, it would never escape death. Like the cheetah on Mount Kilimanjaro, this urge to sway life may be derived from the instinct of life.
It is these dreamers who make the great idea of the universe come true. The dream of the universe can only come true through our dreams. There are many ways to move the world forward, and daring to dream is definitely one of them.
