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.
The whole world is WATCHING!!!
音乐剧真是各种艺术元素的集大成者，诸多巧思，触动心弦。好久没有这样沉浸的体验了，观赏音乐剧的每一分钟里，生命似乎都更值得一些。
剪辑很好，简洁有力，干净利落地向观众交代清楚了复杂时代下的复杂事件，体现了好莱坞的工业水准。但是我并不是很能共情这些被审判的人，也许在历史事实上他们的遭遇确实有引人义愤的一面，可当他们的事迹进入文化工业，成为好莱坞在选战中的手榴弹，那么他们的角色和他们自身就都已经变成了工具人。
9分，一气呵成，淋漓尽致。从审判开始到审判结束，每一次开庭都是一场腥风血雨。当一场法律审判沦为政治和个人利益的工具，就早已失去了其公正与尊严，更无法得到世人的尊敬。
我们不悲观，憧憬着2035吧，前两天的公报说那时的中国也将建成法治国家、法治政府、法治社会…
Debate大于Art的实证。所有的审判都是反道德的，其反面即所有雄辩都是反理性的。抛弃现实的多异性和复杂性，是一种手段，也是目的。
导演方面其实胜过编剧的，比如开场。全片靠法官的反派光环撑起剧情张力，而对诸如那个在人群中触发对抗的真正引爆情节的无名示威者避而不谈，如果说艾伦索金对民权运动本身不感兴趣，那么他又是如何展示司法体制和意识形态的关联以及权力的蛮横？影片的态度跟最后念名单时不住敲案的法官一样泄气。
艾伦索金是属于能用剧本影响到影像风格的那种编剧，连着看《乔布斯》和这一部感受就会非常明显。我以前觉得他的剧本很适合用来学习写台词，尤其是台词上下句的对称和衔接，那种语感和节奏真的绝了，但英文和中文语感本身不太一样，行业大环境也不同，渐渐觉得不是很适用，大部分人做不到他那么精准，而且注意力放在台词设计上之后，戏会不自觉为台词服务，就本末倒置了。这部索金自己做导演，不功不过，但在对剧本的完成度上想必他自己应该是很满意的
把生命简化成名字，这就是战争的意义，唯有在战争期间，杀戮才被舆论认同，好莱坞依然过于鲜明的价值观输出，this is a political trial, this is a propaganda film，
托尼奖获奖百老汇音乐剧《来自远方》被改编成电影。影片取自9.11当天加拿大甘德镇接纳了6600名意外迫降的旅客，并共处了3天的美好时光。世界大同，却又大而不同。既有9.11的恐袭，又有甘德镇无私的义举。在舞台上的演员，轮流切换着不同的身份，居民或是乘客，落叶聚还散，寒鸦栖复惊。
海登领导的学院学生“温和派”和“一群磕药的嬉皮士”的“激进派”，再加上几个“热心的中产阶级”就能阻止越南战争？阻止越南战争继续下去的是“胡志明小道”和陈庚为首的顾问团。美国政府发现这是个无底洞，及时止损才撤走的。
希望老大哥能下载看下。学学什么叫顶层设计。
最喜歡的一處（精心）的閒筆：當大衛忍不住終於向法警揮出自己憤怒的拳頭，他馬上做的第一件事情，是回過頭來看坐在庭審觀眾席上自己的兒子，想起自己對兒子的承諾，面對警察被捕，也要彬彬有禮不能丟掉自己的風度。這樣溫柔的人，怎麼可能是定義上煽動暴動的暴徒。不過曖昧的編導，在公園混亂的那場戲，才真正表明了態度，差點被強姦的女示威者，預示了無論領導者的涵養和初衷如何，當運動開始以後，很多事情就無法如想像中控制，那些如流水般捲入，別有企圖的人們，正是印證烏合之眾的定義，以及運動的不純性。
影20370：他在求权求公平的时候被封口！他们被逼到橱窗外！历史在重演！请记住，人群中有卧底！会被引诱、误导、嫁祸！博弈的时候你没法解释！不要入断章取义的套！
索金的剧本在，表演和影像都变得不那么重要了。这政治立场真是没法再鲜明了。1960s的政治、司法与越战都扔进一部《死亡诗社》里，简化和夹带的东西还是太多了。抽离点看，这片侧写了二十一世纪左派大佬训练营。
I've never been on trial for my thought before
感恩官摄，从I'm an islander开始哭瞎，最难受的是有些东西变了有些东西没变，但我们再也回不到二十年前。
3.5 工整 呆板 没惊喜也不失望 我喜欢那本书的名字《偷走这本书》
这部音乐剧不仅做到了令人难忘的音乐效果，亦在幽默的基础上增添了人性的光辉。
Sorkin挺鸡贼的，最后找了一个平衡点做了一个平衡，将司法不公和行为事实拆开来看了，以完成故事的道德前提，又借吵架做了一次思想的左右互搏...
