INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
其实对于有的人来说 幸福就是阳光 音乐 舞蹈和啤酒 本来就不需要什么“深刻” 那又何必煞有介事的加上这么多形式外壳呢？从开片的第一场暴动炸车开始其实在影像上用黑白就大可不必 而所有的情绪段落都来升格加大段配乐真的充分暴露导演对电影艺术的“粗通皮毛” 唯一可称道的是演员出身的导演对几名老演员的镜头表现尚对得起演员出身 但动辄怼脸的特写也同样令人出戏 学习了几部经典影片就不列举了 拿它跟《罗马》比真的有惹到我
期待很久的片子，略失望！既不是罗马，也不是美丽人生，很肤浅的个人表达，杂糅了很多有趣的元素都只浮于表面！音乐填塞的很满，不过爱尔兰人唱歌真是好听啊
3/8/2022 开头一出来就不是很喜欢 镜头和整体影片感觉很不搭 很多镜头角度和构图有点刻意 与整体故事和剩下镜头脱离 很漂亮但是很刻意
最终全家迁往伦敦，临行妈妈准备了一小束花，爸爸陪同，送给小姑娘。感人的点。
没有英国历史背景很难因为暴乱还洗衣粉的小事共鸣
奥斯卡里看到的最值得的一部作品了。
虽然都是很零碎的片段，拍得还是挺可爱的。很有French Cinema的气质，比如类似于Cléo的色彩运用，比如对日常生活的侧重，比如使人想起Les 400 coups的主角；但缺少的是对“all the ones who were lost”的表达
2.故事太过平淡，冲突不够激烈，像记流水账一样

肯尼斯拿出了他的《阿玛柯德》 北爱尔兰问题 一场同一种族下不同信仰带来的问题 虽然现实却是那样残酷 但从一个小孩儿的视角拍摄出来 显得非常童趣与乐观 开场直接从现在的彩色转到了69年黑白的贝尔法斯特 （中途插入的彩色电影及戏剧效果拔群 分割开两个世界）当被爷爷问是否愿意离开时 他的回答充满着漫浪以及对贝尔法斯特未来的憧憬 电视上放着《双虎屠龙》贝尔法斯特则上演着手足相残 信仰问题贯穿电影 老中幼三代人对于信仰的看法也是大不相同 朱迪丹奇饰演的奶奶常常把上帝挂在嘴边 父亲则站在漩涡之中 小孩则被则开着天主教与新教的玩笑 配乐也是一大亮点 大量充满阳光且积极的配乐 代表小孩子的视角下 残酷现实离他们的距离还是很远的 缺点还是内核太散了 高潮的点推的实在太低了【VUE】
摄影布景服装表演都相当精致的一部电影，在限定的一个狭小街区里，从小男孩的视角，表现了在爱尔兰那个宗教冲突严重的时代下，留下的、离开的、彷徨迷茫的贝尔法斯特居民们的生活状态。
电影回到1969年8月15日，全片是小男孩视角、他的世界是童趣和喜欢的小女孩，工薪阶层的父母为生活奔波和烦恼，爷爷奶奶看尽人生、用温柔和诙谐看世界，当时的社会大热点则是英国新教和天主教的冲突。几乎都是黑白画面的成片，几处夜景的画面光线、构图很美，第一时间没认出演奶奶的是朱迪·丹奇，小男孩和爷爷奶奶的戏很温馨、有点动人。PS. 詹尼斯·布拉纳继续这样拍片也行，别再祸害波洛才是真的。
No matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.

二十分钟以后，Colin出现了，他演的是一个恶棍。dear Merlin ！对爱尔兰不了解真的很难进入。爱尔兰有天主教、新教，有共和军，有凯尔特文化，St. Patrick，吉普赛魔法……他们平时说话像念诗，念诗像唱歌……法鲨演的羞耻里面兄妹俩也是来自爱尔兰……爱尔兰到底是个什么存在啊。have a wee think...
镜头和音乐都很美，几个角色都很赞，很多对话都富于哲理。for the ones who leave for the ones who stay and for the ones who were lost
但是，这种生活碎片采集式的手法确实导致整个影片哪里都涉及一点点但没有一处是深入讨论的。尤其是加上大量的插曲——大部分还是直接以bgm附着与故事之外的——更是冲淡了在那样的背景下应有的迷失感与压抑感。
基本是《罗马》的套路，孩童视角的大时代历史变革➕60s黑白怀旧风，OST的民谣蛮动人。摄影构图非常好，但服化道的细节并不太像六十年代，不知道是不是预算不够
一座城市出一个导演讲一个故事，用彩色多好。北爱尔兰问题在兴趣点上，处在中间的人好难，不过只涉及表面。口音就是可爱。
黑白影像在搭景式的街道里被伪装成历史，混乱碎片化的童年记忆在一首又一首过度密集的歌曲里被随意展现在银幕之上，无法感受真实的历史痕迹和拼贴在一起的家庭生活气息，唯独共情的只有死去的那些人们。只有电影是可爱的，又想看一遍《双虎屠龙》了……
