The film has a very good visual experience, especially those dying purple corals and fluorescent corals, and countless underwater shots even make people feel the taste of the sea. I have to say that after adding human emotions, the process of coral bleaching and dying is really sad, and the diagrams that whiten and disappear part of the tree of life, as well as showing the scope of global coral bleaching, and predicting the speed of coral disappearance, are quite shocking. . From a documentary standpoint, it was a very successful film. Nowadays, many feature films are shot as pseudo-documentaries to increase the sense of reality, and documentaries also add more storylines and emotional elements to increase the audience's sense of substitution. The documentary uses the passing of the coral as a source of emotion, which greatly triggers the empathy of the audience. A lot of neglect is because it is really invisible. This film uses a shortened time axis to intuitively show the death process of corals, which is difficult to ignore.
The flaw of the film is the filming process shown in the first half, which distracts the focus of the film. Looking at the daily round-tripping of planes, advanced shooting equipment, etc., it is easy to make people lose their minds, and even feel that ecological protection seems to have become a moan for the rich, as if seeing a young man who is disgusting with the smell of fertilizer. In fact, developed countries are the main culprits in the process of global warming, because they dominate most of the most extravagant energy consumption of mankind.
Deep thinking: Death and disappearance are a process of dynamic transformation, and the static beauty in all dynamic processes will disappear one day. Since the emergence, continuous development, and continuous pursuit of dominance over their own living environment, human beings have always been accompanied by squeezing the living space of other creatures. In the modern world, our sympathy for the extinction of other creatures is based on the thinking form that is already high above. After gaining a sufficient sense of security and influence, we begin to sympathize with the weak and weak, and use human beings’ own unwillingness to die and disappear. Empathy laments the passing of weaker species. In other words, if faced with species that are threatening to humans, humans will do their best to accelerate the disappearance of those species with completely different emotions. In fact, the greenhouse effect advertised in the film destroys the ecology. In fact, human beings see the undesired ecological changes and find a connection point with their own causal reasons. This is a so-called "destruction" from a human perspective. The death and disappearance of all living things and species is a process of change in the material world that is not based on human likes and dislikes. Perhaps it is inextricably related to human beings. That is because human beings are the protagonists of this era and the stage of the earth. But human beings are just one of the actors, not the directors. Humans, in the process, will also face the disappearance of their own species. Humans who lament the destruction of the ecology feel like they are in the long queue of time, watching the other children created by God in the front disappear one by one, and they feel fear. The earth has experienced 4.6 billion years of growth, and he is coldly facing his own changes, as well as the flickering of the birth and death of countless biological populations attached to him. Death and disappearance are just the most common metabolism for him.
Many people will definitely feel powerless after watching this movie. Yes, one person, a group of people, a country, and the entire human group cannot change this process. Just because we are small in our limited life and vision, we can only focus most of our attention on our side, and pay more attention to whether we and our loved ones can live relatively happily. Every day we silently march towards our own death amid countless deaths that we cannot see around us. Humans are like the wind, but the wind sometimes laments the passing and disappearing of clouds, which is a bit funny to think about. There is no ecological balance in this world that keeps human beings happy and healthy all the time. Of course, after watching this movie, we should make some changes, such as our way of life, but don't expect human beings to maintain the existing ecology. Perhaps, we are the kind of black paint in a canvas that can only drown out other colors. Even if it can slow down the speed of our devouring, maybe it will only delay the time for the canvas to be replaced.
