There is a short film that two scientists spent 20 years filming.

For the 1996 French documentary "Microcosm" (or translated as "Insect World"), Baidu "Microcosm, complete collection" or "Microcosm, download".

As one of the "Heaven, Earth, Man" trilogy ("Migrating Birds", "Microcosm" and "Himalayas") dedicated to the audience by the French film master Jacques Perhan, this film Although there are no subtitles, dialogue, or any commentary, the film won the Best Cinematography and Best Editing awards at the 22nd Caesar Film Festival with the same brilliance as "Migratory Birds".

The film's unparalleled photography technology and unique shooting angles magnify the world under the forest and under the grass countless times in front of you. Insects, grass blades, and water droplets all appear in detail, becoming a magnificent scene. of wonders. You will be surprised that there is such a world under our feet. It's dawn, and somewhere on the earth there is a huge world like a planet hidden. The tall grass turned into a forest, the small stones turned into mountains, and the small water droplets turned into the vast ocean. Time passes in different ways. An hour is like a day, a day is like a season, and a season is like a lifetime. If we want to explore this world, we must first remain silent, listen and watch this miracle.

If someone told you that there was a movie that took 20 years to shoot and cost tens of millions of dollars, and only 70 minutes were left in the final edit, would you feel dizzy and confused? Feeling distressed? In order to better criticize this guy who wastes money and does not regard time as time, I found the seeds of this movie and looked at the title "Micro World", which is very consistent with the style of Details Commune.

Under a forest with a small pond, there is indeed a small but complete world hidden. The protagonists in this world are usually so ignored by us - petals, blades of grass, Dewdrops, as well as all kinds of insects, show their lives in front of the camera lens.

I saw the transformation of a butterfly from a cocoon to beautiful wings; the entanglement of two snail lovers to the accompaniment of an Italian opera aria; I also saw the slow opening of a flower; two blades of grass They caress each other; the muddy water splashed by raindrops is so transparent that you can see the dust inside; a drop of rain falls on the grass and bounces up the small black insects; the dewdrops on the green grass blades slowly become smaller and finally disappear without a trace... without a word Line, every life is busy for itself, one second is like a lifetime, and a moment is eternity. For them, the human world is such a small, dispensable and ridiculous existence...

I can't help but think of Fabre's "Insects", "Those animals crawl slowly or gracefully." Flying insects convey information about distant relatives of human beings, and their small and insignificant lives also act out scenes of tragedies and comedies, arousing our real joys and sorrows." Human beings are always like this, creating weapons that can destroy the earth countless times, but they still entrust their hopes and dreams for life in little insects. Hatred is dissolved, or dreams are faded and shattered - it's either left or right, there is no middle ground between the two.
