Some time ago, I watched 5 episodes in one go, but after a long delay due to the exam, I finally watched the remaining 3 episodes in the past two days. Through 8 episodes of polar, mountain, ocean, jungle, grassland, river, desert, and city programs, it shows the gifts of nature and the wisdom of human beings. Explore the relationship between man and nature.
The ocean in the first episode was deeply attracted, as if following the tense pictures on the camera and experienced those thrilling plots. A surfer who pursues the extreme, a deep-sea diver in the Philippine waters for survival. They rely on a simple oxygen supply device to enter the deep sea to fish. Due to overfishing, they are diving deeper and deeper, with diminishing returns, but at great risk. Survive, make people fearless.
A boat, the vast sea, it turns out that there really is such a group of people in the world, they almost cut off the connection with the land, the people of Baggio Village, like the 1990 in "The Pianist at Sea", they have no nationality and no residence. , but the ocean gave him everything he needed...
The camera moves from the ocean to the desert. One end enjoys the gift of the ocean to the fullest, while the other end digs a well in the dry desert for a mouthful of water, risking his life. Their thirst for water turns into hope for life. Whether in the ocean or in the desert, within the four seas, use people's ingenuity to survive in various environments.
In the program, you can see a lot of tribal colors and tribal culture. The most primitive state of life. The naked body, the painted face, and the exaggerated expressions are the most natural and direct presentation. Away from city lights and face to face with nature.
There are many memorable scenes in the show: the African natives who took food from the lion's mouth couldn't be more handsome! I like these 3 the most; houses built on trees! It reminded me of Calvino's "The Baron in the Tree", when I was reading the book, I couldn't imagine walking on the tree all day long. The BBC told us with footage that it all really exists; the Arctic "take home" and building igloos really opened my eyes; polar night, no sun for 54 days, people working normally in the dark, hunting. Being recorded by the camera makes everything more vivid; near the Himalayas, a child is walking on a glacier across a snowy mountain to go to school; a sulphur miner works in a volcano to earn a few dollars; when a garbage truck comes, it rushes into the garbage dump Garbage...too many.
To shoot such a documentary, the program team has to pay a lot. I am really grateful to the program team, through the lens, I can see another world that I can never reach, but it really exists.
I am also very envious of the staff of the program team, who can experience these brave, hard, happy, real people and the beauty of nature that cannot be described in words...
