Watching the documentary "Nanuk in the North" reminded me of words like 'Rumour Drinking Blood', 'uncivilized'. People live more comfortably and comfortably. But what makes me ponder the most is the development of science and technology. The documentary was shot in the 1920s, when technology was not too advanced. When Nanook saw the phonograph in the film, his eyes were full of curiosity. From another point of view, compared with the human beings at that time, why are they not the Nanuks of the north? In order to survive, the Nanook family has to fight against walruses alone. Hunting walruses is an extremely dangerous behavior, but Nanook moves forward. I admire his courage, but in the comparison of current technology, Nanook appears to be How weak and powerless, and indeed the most courageous warrior at that time. We cannot judge past history with our current eyes, that is disrespect to our ancestors, and history is a process of tortuous development and spiral upward. Every bit of progress we have made today is stepping forward in the footsteps of our predecessors. With today’s advanced technology, we are no longer hunting walruses like Nanouk, but the way our predecessors hunted was the same way back in the past. Backwardness, if there is no backwardness of predecessors, it will also mean that future generations have no reflection, no summary, and it goes without saying that there will be no development of modern technology. But it should not be denied that predecessors paved the way for future generations, but the road must not be smooth or bumpy. The old toxins produced by the times must be left behind by the predecessors, which means that only by taking the essence and getting rid of the dross can today's people move towards innovation and a higher realm. People today should not be trapped in the ancient times, nor in the present world. The distant future is the final destination for mankind, otherwise we will also become the uncivilized "Nanuk of the North" in the eyes of future mankind. People today do not have time to mourn for themselves, and later generations mourn them; later generations mourn them and fail to learn from them, so that future generations will mourn their descendants again.” That sentence.
