Baraka

In ancient Islamic language, Baraka means blessing, which is also the original intention of the director to make this film, and to bless everything that has happened on this blue planet with us. The film was shot with the expensive Todd-AQ 70mm format equipment, and every shot and frame was wallpaper. In addition to the strong visual impact brought by a large number of time-delayed materials, the soundtrack is also very shocking and infectious. When you are impetuous, you will feel very small and quiet after watching this movie.

Cosmic clue

Through realistic character clues and macroscopic cosmic clues, all the plot settings in the film are accompanied by special meanings. The interweaving of micro-world and macro-world and the director's unexpected perspective are amazing. He spent nearly half an hour showing beautiful nebulae, stars, volcanic eruptions, tides and the birth of life observed by Hubble telescope. He used this kind of "digression" completely divorced from the narrative main line, constantly interspersed, in order to obtain a fantastic perspective space. Coupled with the aesthetic visual angle, gorgeous photography ceremony and classical aesthetic music, he conveyed his profound thoughts on man and nature, time and eternity.

Salt in the world: salt in the world

Directed by wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.

Year: 20 14

Another name of Salt of the Earth is "salgado's Photography Journey". The film, directed by world-class director Wenders, records the mental journey of legendary photographer salgado. Through home videos, follow-up of new projects, and a large number of black-and-white works and photographers' dictation, we can see that after watching all the sufferings caused by greed, salgado recorded the feelings of a series of conflicts in Latin America, the Rwandan massacre, Ethiopian refugees and the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina with gentle and firm lens language. In addition to the photographer's photos, the whole movie is shocking, as well as his great compassion and redemption.

return to nature

Salgado said that he loves this planet, and human beings are the salt of the earth. Therefore, even after watching the brutal killing, the camera is still full of care, and the earth soothes salgado's broken heart. Finally, he also chose to return to animals and nature. He saw all the experiences of his life. This masterpiece of light and shadow full of great love tells us not to let those unfortunate things just precipitate into events. In front of the frozen photos, we should not just be silent at that moment.

Tokyo biyori

Directed by Travis Klose

Year: 1997

Nobuyoshi Araki, a Japanese photographer, is controversial for taking photos with the meaning of * * * *, but this film is not a strange old man in everyone's eyes, but a warm and plain daily life. The film is adapted from Nobuyoshi Araki's album of the same name "Tokyo Rihe", which records the honeymoon trip of Nobuyoshi Araki and his late wife Yoko. Araki, as one of the screenwriters, hopes to feel the feelings and memories between him and Yoko again through this film.

Araki Nobuyoshi

Nobuyoshi Araki is a contradiction. Many controversial erotic works, such as nudity, binding, and sexual stamens and lips, all look strange from the works. However, in front of his wife, Nobuyoshi Araki's words are a gentle and delicate true personality. Through a lot of interviews and records, director Travis Klose showed us a photographer's daily life, full of contradictions and balance, which is very rare.
