Story Overview: Animal World Under the Darkness

A must-see series of the year for two reasons.

Second, Netflix is produced, and the quality is guaranteed (only for series, movies are another matter).
Enter drama review.
The play consists of six episodes, divided into six themes, with different entry points and different highlights, but they tell the same story---the colorful animal world, the magical earth home.
Episode 1 - Plains under the Moon
Episode 2 - Frost Night
Episode 3---Jungle Night
Episode 4---Dark Night Ocean
Episode 5---The City That Never Sleeps
Episode 6 - Dusk and Dawn
This kind of work, it is useless to say more, just look at it stupidly. Focus on the highlights (in brief).
First, the picture is the most respected.
The charm of the picture is the most intuitive and effective in works with this theme. After all, many scenes in the play cannot be seen with money, nor can they be filmed with time. It is only possible (and not 100% achievable) that requires "the right time, the right place and the right people" with advanced technological equipment.
Second, professionalism cannot be ignored.
Have the audience ever wondered "why is the animal world produced by the BBC so popular and eye-catching"? Picture quality is one aspect, and professional narration (commentary) is another.
As we all know, David Attenborough is the official commentator of this kind of program (BBC Animal World). If you are interested, you can check the life of this Sir. The old man is not only eloquent, but also a world-renowned naturalist. In other words , his excellent professional skills are an important weapon for the BBC nature program to keep youth forever, and the pictures can only be said to be "icing on the cake". Such a professional and appreciative documentary, how can people not be moved?
Looking back at this work, since it is not David Attenborough, the narration skills are naturally a lot worse, but it is this type of "defect" that prompts this work to resolutely replace "narration commentary" with "camera language". good.
Finally, human curiosity is also a selling point.
People are always innately curious about their unknown areas, such as "microscopic world", "universe", "underground world", and the animal world in nature programs (of course not limited to "animals", but also plants. , various organisms). When human beings are curious, they will try to use different tools (books, videos, the Internet) to fill this knowledge gap. The appearance of this work can very well satisfy some audiences' curiosity and desire for knowledge about animal "nightlife", combining education with entertainment, killing two birds with one stone.
At the end of the writing, in this unknown world, human knowledge is too limited, so we must learn to fear, tolerate, and humble.
Another: There is also a behind-the-scenes footage (Night of the Earth: Behind-the-scenes footage) in this play. If you are interested, you can watch it together with this documentary to understand the story behind the camera.
