The story is about the expeditions of two people from the "civilized world" to the Amazon jungle. The amount of information in the film is so large and profound that I dare not comment on my knowledge base, but only give my impressions. Clearly the author is skeptical of modern civilization. The Amazon basin is the most species-rich region in the world. Various animals and plants have built a colorful world, but the author chose black and white film, a metaphor for removing the flashy coat of modern civilization and rethinking the truth of human civilization. The male lead in the movie is an Indian who doesn't understand the outside world. The author constantly uses his perspective to evaluate the so-called civilized people. He persuaded his white companions to throw away their luggage several times, "I don't know why you white people take things so seriously." , It seems that he wants to reduce the weight of the ship, but in fact he wants to reduce the burden of life and get rid of the unbreakable parting. Sure enough, his white companion was finally successfully "brainwashed" by him.
I guess that the living state of primitive tribes is the same as that of us thousands of years ago. They are integrated with nature, feel the cruelty of nature, and enjoy the gifts of nature; as far as the Indians in the movie are concerned, human beings Never give up thinking about the universe, life and soul: where do we come from, what are we going to do with our decades of life, where are we going to end up, what is the meaning of all this? For thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer, human beings have not given a definite answer, and even today's physics, biology and various religions have different opinions, and people are still hurrying in confusion. .
The film was shot by Colombia and was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards. It has a high score and is very wise. Friends who like fast food, this is not your dish.
