Lonely and free scientists

Actually, I didn’t want to write a film review, the word count is over...

Here philosophers excavate soil, linguists grow vegetables, biologists are also rock fans...physicists, biologists, and geologists all have stories.

A few shots are more profound: 1. We protect animals and plants, but we never realize that every three to four minutes, a language will disappear from the world.

2. The electronic sound of seals. A group of people lie down to listen to the sound of seals. The magic of all things always keeps people curious.

3. Newcomers who are disoriented with plastic sleeves. The harsh living conditions in Antarctica can be seen.

4. The penguin who doesn't hesitate. This penguin is definitely the highlight of this film. By the way, there is the penguinist who is used to being lonely because he has not communicated with others for a long time. He said that some female penguins mate with male penguins for stones. Uh, I think people and animals have always been very similar.

5. These people are free, aren't they? People have only one hundred years at most. People have only one hundred years of life at most. Naturally, they will not change for hundreds or even thousands of tens of thousands of years. Are they alone?

6. Antarctica marked by humans. The footsteps of mankind itself is a kind of destruction, but this kind of destruction presents its beauty to the world. contradiction. American philosopher Aaron Watts once said that through our eyes, the universe can understand itself. Through our ears, the universe can hear its own harmonious sound. We are witnesses of the universe. Through us, the universe can perceive its own glory and splendor.

    Personally, I still like the picture without people. But the documentary itself is pretty good

    A different Antarctica, where a group of professional idealists gather, there are bankers who are tired of material life, there are biologists who dive to find the first birth of wisdom, there are taciturn penguin researchers, there are volcanoists who are not afraid of risks, and there are Find physicists like neutrinos in ghost worlds. "It is through our eyes that the universe understands itself. We are the witnesses of the universe, and it is through us that the universe perceives its own glory and splendor"

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Doug MacAyeal: Unlike Scott and Shackleton, who viewed the ice as this sort of static monster that had to be crossed to get to the South Pole, we scientists now are able to see the ice as a dynamic living entity that is sort of producing change, like the icebergs that I study. For me it's been a wild wide. First of all I found out that the iceberg that I came down to study not only was larger than the iceberg that sank the Titanic, it was not only larger than the Titanic itself, but it was larger than the country that built the Titanic. That's pretty big.

  • Werner Herzog: McMurdo has climate-controlled housing facilities, its own radio station, a bowling alley, and abominations such as an aerobic studio and yoga classes. It even has an ATM machine.
