"Have you ever seen someone who kowtows with a long head? Their hands and faces are very dirty, but their hearts are very clean"
The most classic line in the whole film was said by the mountain patrol captain Ri Tai to the reporter, but he seemed to be talking about himself. The dead sheep go to save the living sheep, but behind the seemingly contradictory reality is a stark reality. One after another, the white bones of Tibetan antelopes crossed the bright red skeletons, bypassed the corpse-eating vultures, bypassed the quicksand that swallowed people, bypassed the burning fires, and saw those extremely pious beliefs and souls guarding this ruthless swallowing The land of all living beings - Hoh Xil, in this barren and mysterious no-man's land, everything is so real, so real and terrible. The gunshots in the whole film are very ironic, it is a soft "bang". Although the caliber of the bullets is in line with the setting of the year, there is no blood, no struggle and wailing, no heartbreaking, a light sentence
"I hit the femoral artery and it's no help"
It is the final account of a life.
Liu Dong, who was left by his girlfriend without saying goodbye and left only some money, suddenly stepped into the quicksand when he entered the mountain. There was no wailing, no soundtrack, no emotion, just blank, letting the quicksand devour him little by little, and greeted death with desperate eyes. , until the man-eating quicksand calmed down again, as if nothing had happened, leaving a car parked in the middle of the infinite desert. And the people who set foot on that land again, how would they know that there may be hundreds or thousands of grievances under their feet.
People's endless slaughter of Tibetan antelopes is greed, evil, desire, and human nature, just like this land, Hoh Xil, a beautiful girl. Faced with the wreckage of piles of holy creatures, the hunter will always lie in the wreckage, unable to be redeemed or forgiven by nature.
The old slicker who was willing to peel a Tibetan antelope skin for 5 yuan survived, and the kind-hearted people were swallowed. Ritai prayed to this land that it would never snow, but the heavy snow obliterated the footprints. Ironically, even at the end, Ritai single-handedly caught up with the poachers, and said plainly, "Give me the gun and follow me back. "And then there's gunshots, falling to the ground, convulsions, and death. The shock to me is the sense of reality that cannot be changed, telling you that it is true all the time. The director has a lot of narration through the panoramic lens, and the slightly rough shooting method seems to make people really feel that this is not a movie, but a documentary, but the real story may be far more than this movie. Cruel, more morbid.
It seems that all the things that concern and worry are not worth mentioning in front of natural creatures. I remember when I was graduating, a classmate chose to go to Africa to watch the great migration of animals, get all kinds of vaccines and various protections, and took some pictures of lions and elephants. Most of us despised him and even laughed at him at the time. He sees him as an outlier among us. Others choose to travel to developed countries, which seems to be the normal behavior of young people. Now that I think about it, I was really ignorant. When I was a child, I especially loved watching various documentaries on the Documentary Channel. That wonderful feeling is really a very unique childhood memory. Now that I am about to become an adult, I seem to be blindfolded by the future, and I can’t even compare to myself when I was a child. Desire seems to be able to understand the greed psychology of poachers.
But when we really look at the countless creatures in the world, who dares to say that the ordinary is not great? I hope that one day in the future I can feel the barrenness and wildness of the no-man's land in Hoh Xil, feel the wind blowing sand hitting my face, feel the bright starry sky that I have never felt before, or feel the ocean, rainforest, desert, wetland, grassland . Finally, we can realize that it is not only us that coexist with this earth, but thousands of equal and magnificent creatures.
It is possible to see the so-called real life.
