After watching this film, my heart was greatly shocked. I thought it was a scenery film at first, but after watching it, I found that every frame and every picture contained great effort, and every scene and shot expressed a lot of information and transmission. Deep thinking.

The film is calm and indifferent from the beginning, but it expresses the fierce collision of ideas all the time. It can be seen that people go from longing to worrying to sadness to sudden realization. Along with the film, they complete a spiritual purification cycle.

The film expresses Various images of the gods began, and then conveyed the worship and belief of human beings to nature, where human civilization and nature have a perfect and peaceful combination, various beautiful and spectacular temples, etc., and then began the struggle between humans and nature, do not know A series of shots of floods or typhoons should symbolize the arduous process of human conquest of nature, and then began to primitive civilization, modern civilization, from African tribes to European palaces, step by step into a modern civilized society, modern cities with high-rise buildings, and various cities in Dubai. It is a kind of architectural miracle, showing the achievements of human beings in transforming nature, and showing the beautiful and positive side of modern civilization.

Then, the film begins to express the negative side of human civilization little by little, from fast-paced life to numb urban crowds, simple and repetitive labor , A single material consumption, then to the obesity problem, the population problem, the dark side of civilization is revealed little by little, then environmental problems, poverty, crime, gun violence, and even war, reaching the peak of the dark side of civilization.

Then the film goes back to From the war to hope, from the various traumas of the war, people's strength, prayer, and a little bit of positive energy, then to religious prayer, then back to the Tibetan lama, beliefs and gods at the beginning of the film, and then To the last desert, it symbolizes both the return to nature and the end of all things returning to silence.

God's work... God's work... There is not a line, a dialogue, an explanation, but it makes people think more and think more. More, more understanding, more comprehension, maybe everyone has their own understanding, even if you don't understand, just watching this beautiful picture, this is worth an hour and a half. In other

words, I really want to know the first half of the film Where are some of those natural scenery... beautiful... it would be nice to have a subtitle for this part...
