Haven't watched a documentary in a while. In my opinion, the greatest thing about this documentary and the people it records is not what the photographer has done and the shock the documentary brings to the viewers, but the ability to awaken the viewers' past memories and stay in the viewer forever. in the heart of the filmmaker. Why is it said that it can awaken the memory of the viewer's past? Because the photographer's photos are too famous, anyone who is slightly interested in photography and documentaries, as well as friends who are interested in news and documentary, will most likely have seen the photo of the gold mine at the beginning. Why is it said that it can stay in the hearts of moviegoers forever? Because what it records is beyond the reach of most sights. Some friends will be shocked why the Northwest Populus euphratica forest is cut down and not many people are related? In some cases, it's not because people in society don't care about ecology, but because the media doesn't have the power to express the seriousness of ecology. And no one else could have chosen to admit to this photographer that we are all the salt of the earth.
It's just that the audience for this documentary is a bit small. If it's not for friends who are very interested in photography and humanities, they won't watch it too much. As far as I'm concerned, I'm more interested in photography, which is more of a reason why I keep watching. My interest in the humanities is a little weak, and although I know the background of these events, the content of this film does not resonate with me very much, and the photographer's ideas are not expressed enough, and the details of the photographic process are not enough. There is also a certain viewing threshold for this film. The Salt of the Earth comes from the Bible. It also requires some understanding of the profession of journalists and a little appreciation for photography.
