The 3-year production has covered 195 places in 45 countries, 6 continents, from underground caves to space stations, and into the sky, giving the documentary "One Strange Rock" an extraordinary perspective and extremely shocking images. Director Darren Aronofsky made no secret of his confidence in the documentary, which cost more than $300 million.
After looking forward to it for a long time, "Lighted Planet" is finally going to meet the audience. Planetary guides include 5 Chinese celebrities and 8 international astronauts, including many domestic first-line stars such as Wan Qian.
"Without oxygen to provide energy, all living things are no longer than the size of a needle." As a documentary determined to redefine the earth, the first episode of "Lighted Planet" focuses on the most common and mysterious oxygen on the earth. It is the most common because we breathe oxygen all the time, and cannot be separated for a moment; the most mysterious is because we have not yet figured out why there is only oxygen on the earth, and why the oxygen at the sea level of the earth is always maintained at The constant value of 20.95%... Behind all of this is the secret of the most fundamental source of life.
From the salt mines of the Sahara Desert to the vegetation of the Amazon rainforest, from the glaciers of Antarctica to the diatoms of the Atlantic Ocean, these seemingly irrelevant things together maintain the earth's delicate and fragile oxygen balance, and together constitute a system The grandiose Earth's respiratory system.
The silicates of the Sahara Desert, blown by the northeast trade wind, flow into the Amazon rainforest continuously, becoming the fertilizer for the growth of vegetation in the rainforest. Under the process of photosynthesis, these vegetations continuously produce the oxygen needed for life, and the Amazon rainforest is also called "the lungs of the earth."
However, the oxygen produced by the Amazon rainforest has been in a state of "self-production and self-sale" for a long time, and cannot supply life in other parts of the earth. Its real role is to provide precipitation. We can imagine a scene like this: the water in the Amazon rainforest climbs along the thick fibers of plants to the top of the towering shrubs, forming a "Tianhe" with steaming clouds. This moving "Tianhe" forms mountain precipitation after encountering the Andes Mountains. The precipitation falling on the surface is condensed into turbulent rivers by trickles, carrying nutrients from the surface and rushing to the sea, providing food for the diatoms in the ocean to survive. And these untraceable diatoms are the real producers of the earth's oxygen.
After these diatoms died, they were deposited in Haiti day after day, forming thick silicate deposits. After experiencing the crustal changes of the replacement of mountains and rivers, these salt mines will one day be exposed on the ground, riding the whistling wind to fly to a place where vegetation is prosperous, and start the next cycle... It can be said that this is a film composed of time and space, mountains and mountains. An epic of the earth composed together with oceans, deserts and rainforests, trees and seaweeds, etc., when I think about it, I feel more and more magnificent.
As the greatest creator, the earth is not only freehand and freehand, but also intricate and delicate. Why is the oxygen content on the surface of the earth always constant, what will happen if it is less, and what will happen if it is more... These subtle settings make the Creator more mysterious, great, and unpredictable.
All in all, this is a documentary filmed from the perspective of God, or looking down at the earth from the International Space Station at 304,800 meters, or microscopic algae in the deep sea hundreds of meters. The cost-effective shooting and unique perspective have created a blockbuster viewing effect and sung a shocking epic of the earth.
"A suffocating documentary", "A masterpiece that defies the sky, the picture is extreme, the angle of view is amazing, and it is too shocking to speak!" "The depth of thought of this work has reached the deepest point that a documentary can reach", "The ingenious spiral shape The narrative cannot be more admirable." Such foreign media comments, so far, are not considered exaggerated.
