"Africa" should be said to be the first complete natural landscape documentary I've seen. I may have seen similar ones before, but I'm not very impressed. This time, I took the opportunity to take the exam for subject 2, and I finished watching all the content except the sixth episode. After watching it, I was very shocked.
There have been many documentaries about natural landscapes, especially such magical places as Africa, but, in the process of watching, you will not feel a little tired, just like an unparalleled immersive enjoyment. The beauty in the documentary is everywhere, and every frame can be saved and used as a wallpaper. What is even more rare is that at the same time, the stories about African animals are told in flesh and blood, which is heart-wrenching. I have seen some "Earth Pulse" before, but, in comparison, the Earth Pulse is more inclined to describe the overall situation of the species, while Africa is more concerned with the close-up of some individuals in a certain species. This way of description makes animals more lively, and looks at species different from humans from an individual perspective. In my opinion, it is a kind of respect for the species, because we treat them as our own kind. look at.
It is this description method that the photographer provides us with wonderful pictures: giraffes fight each other to defend their territory, and finally use strategy and courage to miraculously defeat their opponents; on the hot land, silver ants They can only stay under the sun for no more than ten minutes. In order to find food, they work together and even pay the price of their lives; due to the extreme drought, the elephants are hungry, and a baby elephant is exhausted, and its mother is following the elephants. Between escorting the little elephants, I chose the latter; a grassland fire, life wasted, but some extremely brave animals searched for food in the fire; African penguins protected their eggs from the sun under the scorching sun, while some penguins The mother couldn't bear the heat of the scorching sun, so she had to give up the baby's life; the rhino, who walked alone during the day, socialized frequently at night, which was surprising...
There are many such stories, "Africa" tells us about the life of the animal world that is blurred and colorful.
Sometimes I think that there should be more documentaries like this, and more~ Those animals are getting away from us, and countless stories from the animal world will stay in the memory of some people forever. If we can't stop the trend of animals going extinct, then recording everything about them will keep our children and grandchildren in awe for the rest of their lives. Of course, I shouldn't be so pessimistic. Since such a documentary can arouse my love and care for animals, naturally, it can also awaken the love of more people. We are gentler towards these animals, and the world will make them safer. live on.
Every wilderness, when human footprints are not so many, retains complete wildness and indulgence, which is the nature of an animal, or the essence of nature. Nowadays, in the revolutions of society again and again, there are more and more human beings, and technology is more and more developed, but they are becoming more and more unhappy. During this period of time, I was reading "A Brief History of Humanity" again, and I still couldn't help thinking: what kind of mentality should we live with, which is the best way to make our hearts the most stable and let our own Maximize happiness.
The word "experience" jumped into my mind again! Yes, constantly experiencing different worlds is itself a silent challenge to this highly centralized and technological society. If we are only limited to the one or two roles that society has set for us, our lives will lose the wildness from the animal world, and become completely separated from the role of animals and towards the role of robots. This is not what I want.
To maintain the nature of animals, I think this is a channel, or a guideline, for us to constantly explore happiness. The nature of animals is actually the nature of human beings, such as feelings, curiosity, indulgence... We all have it, but this society often forces us to forget.
So sometimes, don't feel guilty for releasing your nature to be different from others, because it's not my fault, but the fault of the people around you.
