Netflix's "Our Planet" documentary review

From ocean to near sea, from desert to grassland, from forest to rainforest, from Antarctica to the Arctic, this documentary clearly and vividly shows us that apart from human beings on earth, with a grand perspective, top science and technology, and a moderate rhythm Other creatures survive in a variety of ways.

We will be amazed by the vitality of corals living on the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10 kilometers, and also by the vibrant marine ecosystem of corals, krill, anchovies, dolphins, sharks, whales in the shallow waters.

When we see the leader of the desert elephant lead his group to travel long distances, just to find the water source in our memory, and finally find that the river has already dried up, we will feel infinite distress in our hearts. When the "wells" were dug out with elephant trunks in the desert with the accumulation of sand, they couldn't help but praise them, lamenting the miracle of the creator, and at the same time feeling guilty for the harm caused to them by human beings.

I can't forget the bloody sight of hordes of hulking walruses with poor eyesight having to climb steep cliffs and finally fall to the bottom in order to rest in the closer and limited prey sites; Remember that in order to feed your cubs, you need to swim through the ocean of predators. After landing, facing the walrus group everywhere, the penguin parents who can only carefully risk the risk of being squashed and cross carefully, finally reach the cubs. After the gathering place of cubs, one accidentally misses his cubs and gives precious food to other people's cubs, and his own cubs will face death because they are not fed.

There is no doubt that this is an ecological documentary that promotes environmental protection, and its main theme is to call on human beings to love the earth. Every episode of the documentary will light up this theme from time to time, but it is not rigid, but a kind of educative. The happy form of telling interesting stories connects human beings with the creatures on the earth, and brings us into a larger world, from which we can understand the closeness of our connection with other creatures, realize the urgency of protecting the environment, and arouse us. All the yearning for beauty in my heart, and then turn it into concrete actions, can really contribute my little power to change the cruel reality that human activities have seriously damaged "our earth".

What made me appreciate and moved this documentary is that it does not blindly stand on the moral high ground and criticize the actions of human beings from the perspective of God, and expose those worse and more serious facts of destruction. The interesting stories of Chinese creatures show the beauty of biological diversity. I will mention it occasionally, and then I will sublimate the theme at the end, which is thought-provoking and has a feeling of "repression first if you want to promote it".

At the same time, when the audience is indignant at the destructive behavior of human beings and expressing concern for the plight of other creatures, the film also releases clips of human beings making efforts for environmental protection in a timely manner, indicating that this situation has been improved to some extent, and endangered animals and plants They are also gradually prospering, giving us hope for the future. I think it's a neat and appropriate use of it, as you can see in the episode of the forest where the flora and fauna grow in the uninhabited Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

I can hear the whole world singing together.

Finally, I hope our planet can be better with our love. ❤️❤️
