The feeling of heaven and earth

This drama is about how people and the environment have evolved. The loneliness between people has not been eliminated, but the loneliness of the soul is deepening. The following is what I arranged for you. I hope I can help you.

1 The movie "Huang Xuan in Heaven and Earth" is a famous documentary made by/kloc-0 in the United States in 1992. The English name Baraka is an ancient Sufi word of Islam, which means "blessing". People and land are great and incredible, and we should bless and pray for them. Chinese translation of heaven and earth is also appropriate.

The phrase "heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow" comes from the Book of Changes. In the Book of Changes, the rhyme "Tianxuan Dihuang" was changed to "Tianxuan Dihuang". Xuan, in color, refers to the color of dark blue close to black, and in efficiency, refers to lofty and unfathomable. This is a metaphysical paradise, so it is called Tian Xuan. Huang also praised the warm earth for its nourishing and nurturing functions, so we respectfully call the earth "mother". Yellow also represents the depth of the tunnel. The film is very profound in characters, environment, music and so on. It is no exaggeration to describe it as mysterious.

The film consists of six episodes, each of which lasts 16 minutes. When it was first released, it was praised by some crazy film critics as "the greatest documentary of the 20th century". Some people even claim that if they are exiled to a desert island, the only movie they are willing to carry is it. The film is based on the evolution of the earth and human beings, and the relationship between human beings and the environment. There is no dialogue from beginning to end. Where the scenery in front of us comes from is entirely the imagination of the audience themselves.

It is said that in order to shoot this film, director RonFricke took a three-person shooting team and spent 14 months traveling to 24 countries on six continents. * * * cost four million dollars. For this film, which doesn't need to pay a high appearance fee for the actors, the investment is considerable. At the same time, the music effect of this film is very mysterious, which brings us a rare double shock of vision and hearing.

The power of nature is very powerful, just like a volcano erupting, destroying everything. People's power is also very strong, and the process of generation replacement, industrialization and modernization is beyond people's imagination. The destruction of the environment and the war will ultimately be punished by human beings themselves.

No matter how people and the environment evolve, the loneliness between people has not been eliminated, but the loneliness of the soul is deepening. Loneliness and anxiety can't comfort people's hearts. The power of religion and belief has become powerful and profound, leading to unprecedented piety and worship of mankind. Even so, it can't change the relationship and fate between man and the environment.

I once read a novel called Where to Go. After watching the movie Huang Xuan in Heaven and Earth, I can't help worrying that both the aborigines and the environment are constantly evolving in response to Huang Tianhou. Such a powerful man and nature are like two double-edged swords. Where will man and nature go in the end?

The first time I watched this documentary, the teacher showed it in the director's basic class. I didn't listen carefully at that time. I just look up at the screen occasionally. Although I only took a cursory look, it was enough to shock and amaze me. After I went back, I downloaded and watched it several times, savoring every shot, every dubbing rhythm and feeling the humanistic care in the film.

This is really a very strange documentary. The whole movie has no narration, no dialogue or even subtitles, only images and music, but it is enough to make people speechless, probably because they like the silence of the movie. Although there is no expression, but the heart is rough. What I want to mention again is its picture. It can be said that even if any frame of the film is intercepted at will, it will be an independent photographic work with complete composition, full color and visual impact. Of course, some people think that this documentary is nothing more than a slide collection of various natural landscapes and human shrines. Beauty is beauty, and it is hard to call it a masterpiece. It is the kind of film that can be made without a director and screenwriter, but only with a reliable photographer and sufficient financial support. But I don't think so. A good documentary, especially a literary documentary, the picture is of course important, but it can't erase the director's basic skills and realm. The emotions we felt from the film, the thoughts and sighs we caused, were also conveyed by the director through careful arrangement. He let the camera shuttle back and forth in the inaccessible nature and bustling metropolis to challenge the world we know. In the final analysis, the most important thing is. Therefore, my personal criterion for measuring a good documentary is that at least everyone who watches it will feel and reflect, which is the value of the film, although everyone's perception can be very different.

Seeing this documentary, it is natural to think of some Taoist ideas of "harmony between man and nature" and "Taoism is natural". Perhaps the film has too many ideas to convey, or my realm has not yet reached, so there are many shots that I can't understand and interpret, so I can only say these according to the most direct feelings it brings me. Seeing the goshawk in the snowy world, the macaque in the Japanese warm soup, the brilliance of the Australian boulder, the rainbow brought by the rushing waterfall, and the busy taxi on the streets of new york, the women workers in the Indian factory kept repeating the same action, and suddenly remembered a sentence, "If people are ants, they are busy all over the world." Human beings are really great, creating self-comity, leaving their own traces on the earth, but seeing the metropolis that has been wave upon wave.

This documentary really contains too much, such as gods, heaven and earth, starry sky, everything, architecture, belief, assembly line, alienation, life, mobility, eternity, industry, pluralism, time and ceremony. ...

Maybe this film shouldn't say anything at all, just watch it yourself, and everyone can see different connotations.
