Compared with "Human Planet"; "Pulsation of the Earth"; "The Year of Migration", etc., and similar works such as "Dolphin Bay", I personally feel that this film is even better!

1: The impact brought by the glacier is indeed huge. It is not beautiful, but truly magnificent! It belongs to an incredible shock that only you can feel when you are on the scene, and now, you will never be able to experience it again in the future.

2: Isn’t this the essence of the documentary? It is formed in millions of years of life on earth, in this universe, in infinite time, something that may never be experienced anymore. This film is both on the screen and on the documentary. It did what a documentary should do.

3: It interprets the essence of photography well, and embodies the values ​​and mission that a citizen of the earth should have! A life can use all its energy to do these meaningful things!

For photography,
the so-called "photographers" who only use telephoto cannons and wish to get vain praise should look at the
most basic qualities of a photographer and
what is the essence and meaning of photography. The essence... what

Bresson said: "You are not shooting well enough because you are not standing close enough."
This is not limited to the advantages and disadvantages of equipment imaging,
but if you have no curiosity, courage and perseverance, Putting into mankind's greatest desire
to explore, to walk in and feel those things,
then you still have to find a comfortable footing far away, and just keep a low profile for self-entertainment.


For us,
this is a film worthy of our time, and even the next generation should watch.

At the end of the film, James Barlog said:
"When my children ask me in the future, it will be At that time, what are you doing, I can tell her, I have done the best I can do..."
This may be the most noble tribute to the author


...
Our related professionals, the hardworking employees of heavily polluting companies,
when your children can only see the magical and magnificent nature from the documentary, they
will ask you,
Dad, when your home was ruined, what are you doing? What?


Perhaps we are not able to engage in relevant important positions and
have no opportunity to work in media images,

but these truly valuable and meaningful values ​​are
worth passing on!

If more people and our society can be conscious,
then it will be one step closer to change.


"If you have the opportunity to contribute to the world, then do your best; if you don't have the opportunity to give, be a free person." When will

those "people" who are deforestation and crippling people understand
that nothingness? Glory, those cruel gains, those arrogant ambitions,

as the life in the long river,
will have no meaning!

Chasing Ice quotes

  • James Balog - Photographer: If you had an abscess in your tooth, would you keep going to dentist after dentist until you found a dentist who said, "Ah, don't worry about it. Leave that rotten tooth in"? Or would you pull it out because more of the other dentists told you you had a problem? That's sort of what we're doing with climate change.
