4 photographers who have taken risks to take excellent photography during the unrest in South Africa. 1. About the location of the shooting. The filming locations are mostly poor, war-torn and turbulent places. In the first half of the film, I often watch and watch it, and I don’t dare to continue watching. There are ruins, corpses, and a group of people hacking and killing. It is extremely shocking and terrifying. I think this is also the meaning of photos taken by war photographers, recording conflicts, contradictions, fears, deaths, and telling people on the other side of the world what is going on here. 2. About the photos taken. Greg's shot of a man on fire was shot straight over the head by another man.
Kecin's photo of a vulture is dormant behind a starving girl.
For the first photo, because it documented a murder, police asked Greg to hand over the negatives and testify in court. If accepted, it means that the war photographers have chosen to stand on the side of the government. In the end, Greg became a celebrity because the photo won a Pulitzer Prize so he didn't get caught. (I don't quite understand why) The second photo by kecin also won the Pulitzer Prize. But what everyone pays the most attention to is what happened to the girl in the end, did Kecin save him? kecin has never addressed this question head-on. In the end, it may be due to the pressure of public opinion, or it may be other reasons (I personally think that kecin has had some problems before, and this public opinion and ken's death are the last straw that crushed him) So the war photographer, in While recording the cruel conflict and contradiction of death, should we intervene in this matter, and whether it is so ruthless to record this matter? I don't think so. 3. Some other sighs: At first I thought that poverty was the ignorance of the people living there. Because of different beliefs, there was a massacre. Then it was discovered that the local government army was incompetent. Alas, it can only be said that peace is really precious.
