Top 1 documentary in my mind! ! It is not very grand and exquisite, but every minute and every frame of the picture is permeated with sincerity and enthusiasm, and there is a kind of simplicity in it. This simplicity is the awe of the universe and the awe of life. Going to take a look.

Each segment can be a short story in its own chapter, which would be great if written into a book. Gathered biologists, volcanologists, divers, physicists, chemists, philosophers, poets, as it said, they are professional dreamers, said the young computer scientist who grows tomatoes That's right, all people who lose gravity fall to the South Pole, it's a real pleasure to meet and find one's kind here.

There are two places that really touched my crying point, one is "meeting a penguin at the end of the world", and the back without turning back is too tearful; the other is the director's imagination of the aliens five hundred years later. Scientists go to Antarctica to search for traces of human existence, and they will find that the earth in the past was like this.

There are too many great people, and their appearance is like the fireworks that burst into the stars of human history. They are amazingly beautiful and have made amazing contributions to the development of human beings. However, human beings are not the ultimate rulers of the universe after all, but only the life of the universe. Another catastrophe will eventually perish in the long river of the universe. What we often say about "grasp the present, grasp the present" turned out to be a helpless choice for human beings. Even if it perishes in the long river of history, we will not be forgotten. Five Creatures in a hundred years will be as familiar with what kind of dinosaurs are the most ferocious, what kind of dinosaurs can fly, and what kind of dinosaurs feed on, and how each great human bloomed in his own time. splendid.

    "Those few who have experienced the world under the frozen sky often speaks of it as going down to the cathedral." Emphasis on experience and experience, science and life together. Take the warmest documentary at the cold end of the world. I miss the penguin who stubbornly ran into the distance

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • William Jirsa: I like to say, if you take everybody who's not tied down they all sort of fall down to the bottom of the planet, so that's how we got here, you know. We're all at loose ends, and here we are together. I remember when I first got down here I sort of enjoyed the sensation of recognizing people with my travel markings. I was like, hey, these are my people. PhDs washing dishes and linguists on a continent with no languages.

  • Werner Herzog: In the stupid trend of academia, it would be better to let the language die than to preserve it.
