The main line of "Rio Adventure 2" seems to be Like the parrot version of "Avatar", even the lake blue skin fits so well.
Before watching the film, I was already mentally prepared for the Brazilian customs and football elements in the film. The Brazilian director will definitely not let this go A great opportunity to help the motherland promote the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. After experiencing the great adventure of the first part, the hero Blue has overcome the psychological obstacles and learned to fly freely. However, the habit of relying on technology has not changed. Even the three children were taken by him to learn to eat canned food. The fat parrot with headphones really looks like a teenager walking on the way from school. This leaves mothers trying to teach parrots how to survive in the wild helpless. The screenwriter may also use this plot to satirize Americans who make a living from canned food. One day, Blue's wife was watching a report about blue parrots on TV, and suddenly the family moved back to the Amazon to find the long-lost blue parrot population. As a result, the father and daughter met, and the family, except for Blue, quickly adapted to Amazon's new environment.
When the plot was slightly tense, the parrots were still dancing samba to welcome the return of the team leader's daughter, and the lumberjacks had sneaked into the parrot's habitat. The spree of the rainforest is about to be destroyed by the mad intruder. The two scientists try to stop it, but they are tied up and later rescued by passing Blue. The film then uses a long shot to cut into the rainforest construction site that has just been cut down. The exposed soil is surrounded by tall trees. The trees in the distance are still falling down one after another. Animals run around... Later, Blue worked hard to learn the skills of wild parrots. After experiencing a series of ups and downs, such as fighting for territory with red parrots and the revenge plan of bad parrots, Blue led the big and small partners in the rainforest to drive away the rainforest destruction together. who also received the approval of his family and the respect of his enemies,
During my internship last summer, someone said, you should go look in the rainforest. That field trip really allowed me to see the exact same scene as in the movie. That internship in Ecuador has become, for me, the "Space travel" that Howard babbles about. I remember that Lao Liu once explained to a girl who came for an interview why he liked to cooperate with NASA: There is an episode in TBBT where Howard could not calm down his excitement and pride after a space travel, so he talked about "space" when he saw people topic of. Someone must have been bored with my "while I was in Ecuador". However, many of the dialogues and scenes in "Rio Adventure 2" continue to evoke my memories of last summer, and I can't help but ramble about the experience of Ecuador here.
When our car was driving in the muddy Amazon rainforest, I was drowsy in the high concentration of oxygen in the "Earth's alveoli". When we arrived at the destination, I vaguely heard the sound of the motor turning and the boots stomping on the soil. footsteps on. The car drove into a gap, and suddenly opened up in front of you. From the parking direction, it was a circular field with exposed yellow soil, roaring excavators and busy workers. This suddenly appeared modern atmosphere, and tranquility. The rainforest looks out of place.
The manager pointed to the front and said, Look, this is a newly developed well area. In a few days, a derrick will be erected here, which will become the company's new profitable project. After saying that, he showed a proud expression.
The manager also asked about my opinion, and I said, it was...spectacular.
The manager smiled and said, come and show you how much our company has done to protect the rainforest.
Following the direction of the manager, the workers in the front left were carrying the rolls of black material and said: "This is a special protective material. Before the shaft, this layer of material will be spread on the soil, so that even if there is leakage in the future, It will not pollute the soil. After the project is over, take this layer of plastic sheeting to 'roll up and leave', and then plant trees and return to forests."
"It took us a long time to apply to the government for such a vacant land before it was approved. We did a lot of analysis, including how much damage it will bring to the rainforest and how much fines we need to pay for each tree cut. Workers only come every day. Go to work, and the living area is elsewhere, so there is no pollution from domestic waste.”
“We will go to a disposal site later. This company has been operating for many years before we took over. At that time, people did not understand 'HSE (Health, safety) and environment)', the machine polluted a piece of soil. The soil had been buried in the ground, but the natural degradation rate was too slow, and now it was dug out and reprocessed by biodegradation. There is a kind of bacteria that can eat pollutants, we took it Shelf, with sawdust, so that they can 'eat' faster."
At the end of the meal in the cafeteria, a woman and three men came in. Originally, there were very few female workers in the camp. I haven't seen any women other than me these days, all South American men. Therefore, the arrival of these few people has attracted the attention of many people. Seeing that he knew someone, Manager Cao put down his cutlery and came forward to say hello. After a few words with the woman in business attire, Brother Cao returned to our table and introduced the few who had just arrived.
They are from a local NGO. The purpose of this time is to take advantage of dinner time to publicize their rainforest residents rescue project. Villagers still live in the Amazon rainforest, but due to inconvenient transportation and economic conditions, many children born in the rainforest cannot get normal education opportunities, and they cannot receive timely medical treatment when they are sick. What's more, the villagers still live a primitive farming life, and their agricultural activities are almost more damaging to the rainforest than industrial development. If they learn how to recycle plastic, use natural gas, farm properly, and build sturdy houses , For the owners of these rainforests, they will be in a win-win situation for life and environmental protection.
The promotional video is in Spanish, but the concept of environmental protection knows no borders. From the slideshows they made, I learned that the company has donated money to build elementary schools and hospitals in several large villages; after the speech, the hostess distributed the works of children in the rainforest to everyone---using recycled paper Made of pencils and notebooks. I saw that Brother Cao hadn't come out of the emotion brought by the promotional video just now. With tears in his eyes, he actively helped distribute souvenirs together.
Back at my office in Quito, I spent the afternoon downloading NASA satellite data using the method I learned in Lao Liu's class to see how the Ecuadorian rainforest has changed over the past few years.
The result was beyond my expectations.
For nearly a decade, Ecuador's rainforest appears to have been growing. Compared with the increasingly bare city of Quito, the forested areas in the east are showing more and more greenery. It doesn't seem like global warming is hitting here either, as the average monthly temperature in the rainforest this year is also lower than it was a decade ago. I use red for warming, blue for cooling, and the rainforest is a refreshing blue against the glowing red city of Quito.
I have to admire the Ecuadorian government's almost harsh requirements and execution on environmental protection.
Later, the manager asked me, from the perspective of an environmentalist, what do you think of what we have done.
Shocked, I said, really, the rainforest will thank you for everything you do.
The manager sighed and said, not enough.
After get off work, I was playing basketball with my colleagues. A mountain eagle flew from a distance, landed on the roof, put away its huge wings, and stood at the pointed corner like a statue, looking at us. Colleagues said that the eagle likes to stand there watching people play basketball. Animals in this place are quite spiritual, and environmental protection is also implemented in the hearts of the people. People treat animals like their own children. There was silence all around the stadium. Thinking back to the noisy rainforest construction site, maybe this was a great project: we only cut down so few trees and polluted so little land, and we built a huge behemoth, which brought huge profits to the company. , contributed millions of taxes to the country...
The workers live in the camp and are the inhabitants of the camp; the trees cut down for the construction of the camp also have their inhabitants. When every tree falls, we don’t care, but the creatures of the rainforest will care, in the movie Those blue parrots care. The film uses the perspective of birds to show the scene of logging, allowing the audience to stand in the perspective of the blue parrot and experience the sadness of losing their home. It's like a story that's been repeated many times: a little boy on the beach picks up fish after fish and throws them back into the sea... This little fish cares... that one cares...
Last week in a hazard assessment class, the professor talked about poisonous Different evaluation criteria for substances. A student asked: "We study health pollutants, who cares about the ecological impact? We don't live in nature."
Suddenly, the professor suddenly turned to me: "Xueying, what do you think?"
The picture in my mind jumped to the busy rainforest scene again. The roaring excavator shoveled piles of logs from the dirt.
I thought about it and said, because, someone cares.
Not every environmentalist is going to stand in front of an oil company with a sign in protest, or save to the point where they would rather hit a wall than turn on the lights and use electricity. Nowadays, the main purpose of environmental protection organizations' overwhelming publicity is to awaken everyone's attention to the environment. With 80% of the followers, 70% of the people will try to minimize the driving, 60% of the people are willing to choose recycled paper, 50% of the people will turn off the air conditioner before leaving home, and 40% of the people will donate to environmental organizations. Money, 30% of people will participate in environmental protection activities, 20% of people do not use plastic shopping bags, and 10% of people are willing to devote themselves to environmental research. Ideally, the efforts of these 10% of people are just as good as the degree of environmental damage. Balance, the earth will be healthy; then, if there are only 10% of the followers, and not enough people are willing to do environmental research, the balance will be difficult to maintain. I hope that there will be more and more followers of the rainforest, and even the environmental issues of the entire earth.
Blue's rival, who looked very much like a colleague of mine, had a Spanish rock album and gave me a signed CD of him. Even the blue chief said that "people in the rainforest get up very early", which is exactly the same as when Daejeon complained that I woke up too late and the restaurant ran out of food. In addition to the environmental protection themes expressed in the film, I also like the enthusiastic singing and dancing scenes of "Rio Adventure 2", which are really "Parrots and Swallows Dance"; Obviously from South America's "Samba football" style. The life I experienced in South America in Ecuador was similar to the one depicted in the film - freedom, passion, closeness to nature. Two months later, the internship ended and I returned to the United States, full of gratitude for everything I've encountered in the past few months. After a few more weeks, life gradually became dominated by the chores of moving and enrolling in school, and the enthusiasm accumulated in South America gradually faded.
Suddenly one day, a friend received a postcard I wrote in the rainforest and sent a message saying that your writing is really good. When I saw the picture he sent me, I remembered what I had written on the postcard:
"...I fled here like a coward, from the vanity that made me anxious and tired...I believe me That's right, because watching butterflies flutter in the rainforest, hummingbirds sucking nectar, crocodiles emerge to beg people for food, fireflies are accompanied by the twinkling of stars and boundless green, all the happiness in this world becomes shameful...
" , I think, at that time, I was really a happy South American who was drunk.
