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.
中国特色超现实主义 历史的大幕落下 一个个人生 一个个政党 一个个时代 循环往复 周而复始（今天Anthology空调坏了 所有人都拿着宣传册扇着风看 颇有回到小时候看露天剧院的感觉 很奇妙）
# 25 POFF# 三个小时借小人物的命运客观真实的铺陈了中国近代史的变迁过程，能令人回想起曾在戛纳获得金棕榈的华语影片，但舞美视听都有所创新，更加具备新时代的耳目一新感，不失为近年华语影片承上启下的佳作，也为华语电影能够再度斩获欧洲三大最高奖的愿景增加了些许希冀
TV版动画6-10集的合辑篇，主要是讲炭治郎偶遇终极大反派，而后遇到鬼医生和她的迷弟，被请回家，双方针对如何变回人进行了探讨
一场决斗，三个视角，罗生门式的故事。从各自的角度来看总是自己有理，但是从全局来看其实都挺无耻的，只有女性是最大的受害者。老雷这次没有再赞美忠诚、勇敢、荣誉，反而是展示中世纪的黑暗，骑士所在乎的不过也还是面子和利益，教会、贵族、议员，几乎所有人都很丑陋，都是这场性侵的共谋者。
法国罗生门，中世纪#MeToo，史诗片下的女性视角。
9/10：老雷老当益壮今年两部冲奖劲片之一，法国版罗生门，2021年的版本强调的女性视角下，女主和两个男主的表演都非常有张力；本片在制作上是有野心的，镜头下的实感非常能把观众代入六百多年前血腥残酷的欧洲战场，古堡、宫廷和决斗场的布景也非常考究；非常值得称赞的一部电影。硬要挑刺的话，还是觉得本阿弗莱克不应该出现在一部古装片里，sorry。
雷导也蹭女性议题？但这女性主义元素却着实毁掉了这部电影。让三段主人公的平行叙事变得只是单向的“以女性视角揭露男性丑恶”的架构。好好一部电影又成了一次宣传。中世纪背景成了一个布景与道具，宗教决斗审判成了噱头甚至工具——上帝（其实是野蛮的相杀）为“女性的最终正义”背书？看到一个半小时后的第三段“女主视角”的副标题“the truth”，我真的要吐了！现在的电影能更看不起观众一点吗？！要把真相明明白白写给我看？那我前面那一个半小时看得就全是假的呗！md……为亚当·德赖弗难得演一次花花公子加一星，全场最靓的仔～
匠气很重 逃不出史诗叙述的企图心 相当另类 十分有趣 但还是有点被审美绊倒的奇观电影
【7】不知道是不是被真实事件束缚住了手脚，改编得缩手缩脚，最后呈现出相当陈旧的文本。称不上是《罗生门》的故事，因为多视角的不同之处几乎是微乎其微，只能说是相互补充，让人质疑是否有POV多视角的必要。至于女性主义的回溯及对ME TOO的观照云云，对于30年前就拍出《末路狂花》的老雷而言，不值得为人称道。
《痴》是在讲他人，《椒麻堂会》讲的是自己的祖辈，是在写一种影像家史。是在有限的空间里，无限的想象力，重生到毁灭，两条叙事线的自然切换，人生如戏，舞台依旧。
这些个骑士老爷真够好笑的，在他们决斗结束后不到半个世纪，最著名的法国农妇圣女贞德带领法国人击败了英格兰。雷爷还是太英国了，女性主义议题的表达在形式和内容上都有些保守。《罗生门》式多视角叙事形式固然颇有讽刺效果，但过于工整，看第一个视角我就预料到编剧会在哪些地方呈现不同的叙事细节。内容上非常正确，主题表达也非常直白，只能说无功无过，和欧陆导演范霍文的《圣母》相比，缺乏更丰富的阐释和理解维度，思辨深度也远远不及后者。文本层面整体表现放在雷爷强大的电影作品序列里不算突出。但雷爷的影像品质依然顶级，吊打现在绝大多数好莱坞电影。真的太爱看雷爷拍古装片了，视听层面每一帧都是享受，期待老头子拍的拿破仑电影。
之前一直很期待，终于看完。导演的才气和勇气令人钦佩。我一直很喜欢《太阳照常升起》，它从看似真实的生活中偶然浮现的不真实让我着迷。《椒麻堂会》更进一步，直接卸去伪装，用最不真实的布景，最荒诞的形式，讲了一个最真实的故事。邱导不煽情，情感处理克制，却让我观影途中两次落泪。“高蛋白”令人印象深刻。或许，现实生活从来都比酆都里的牛鬼蛇神魔幻得多。
在观感方面，即便这类主题里女性的悲剧是注定的，看完依然难免感到悲哀。在男人面前，女人的挣扎和呼喊是如此不值一提。在女人受到苦难之后，男人最先想到的也不过是自己的荣誉。不管是法庭还是决斗场，女人的命运一直都由男人来掌控。最后的决斗以女人的苦痛起始，却以男人的凯旋为终，何等讽刺。
11.29 既是《天国王朝》的老雷，也是《末路狂花》的老雷，雷德利·斯科特这辈子创作母题与人文关怀的（女性、反战）集大成者。三个视角，三种证述，结构上是对《罗生门》叙事的解构与反动，用抽丝剥茧的程序剥开历史迷雾，看似重复，但是每一章节都有笔力千钧的妥协与颠覆，甚至第三章节的演绎方式完全是现代感照进现实力的。这种电影过时吗？我怎么觉得过于先锋了呢
很久没看过这样好的华语电影了。年度最佳。很难得一部很独特性又平衡的影片。内容上很坦率不为审查而避讳，形式上惊艳贴合内容不突兀。
3.26MOMI 屎里找蛆磨碎了当高蛋白喂要饿死的婴儿画面太印象深刻了
完全放弃景深的舞台剧呈现其实是非常危险的，但前景遮挡（？）的布置又成功拉出了纵深。其实好几个孩子的镜头似乎是回到电影场景给出了正反打，而不是像全篇这样保持观看的距离，但正是这种戏谑又苦中作乐的距离反叫其所书写的更加震撼人心。去成为眼睛，去成为摄影机。
我的麻省竹马CP能收获一尊最佳改编剧本小金人吗？Rosebud的经典模式让这个古老的故事有了充满女性色彩的新生。结尾的戏处理得多好啊：这场决斗的胜利对男人来说意味着光荣和欢呼，对女人来说不过是一场叹息罢了。
从《末路狂花》到《最后的决斗》，30年来Ridley Scott镜头下带给女性的理解和尊重无可比拟。这部电影票房惨败，是这个时代的耻辱。
影像变迁史和中国近代史交汇，在私人记忆和戏曲艺术的视域中发生形变，却又始终有对于人、事、物真挚饱满的情感作为连接片中小世界与当下现实的绳索。
