People are busy creating their own stories, but they are too short-lived. Every generation will look up at the stars, looking for eternal evidence in the universe and the earth. And brutal wars, illnesses that can kill you at any time, marriages that are difficult to keep promises, "uselessness" that is not remembered, and the current situation that is unable to resist...Everything is consuming people's confidence in their own existence. This film offers several other possible solutions-using photography to try to make up for the past, and archaeology to connect to the future.
In a sense, biographical films are also "archaeology" similar to history books, interweaving the souls of all ages in the sound and color of the images.
Recently, I have been trying books and movies on different subjects, and have involved more latitudes of knowledge and experience, and finally returned to the ultimate discussion of the meaning of life. Just when I was reading the part of the interview between Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Hong, an archaeologist at the Institute of Social Sciences in "Thirteen Invitations," I turned out this film and found a lot of echoes in it. For example, Xu Hong mentioned that "the work of archaeology is what you can dig out". Archaeologists need to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Mr. Brown has almost in-depth research from Latin, geology, history, astronomy... Only by learning and misunderstanding will form a preliminary and reasonable overall framework for the goal in the mind; it is necessary to have a sensitive nose, that is, professionalism, to be able to "sniff out" the hiding place of the relic, instead of sniffing it when not knowing it, standing by and watching. Treasures are flocking, and credits are sought. You also need to accept the failures that you will inevitably face even if you work hard every day.
"The work of an archaeologist is not about the past or the present, but the future. It is for future generations to know where they are from, and it is the bond that connects ancestors and descendants." In this regard, I personally have no experience in digging. I just remember that when I was a child I especially liked to get into all kinds of abandoned corners with my friends, in order to search for the ancestors of certain ancestors, and listen to the stories carried by the elders. The details of, its own existence is extended by one point because of the connection with the past, and I believe it will continue to extend into the future. "We have always existed since the first handprints left by human beings on the cave wall. We have never really died." The individual's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys are imprinted in the long river of history in the first lively cry, making "time Lost the purpose".
