The reason why I live here.

Douban score 9.3

Have you ever asked yourself why you live here?

"I am alive" is a travel documentary without copywriting, sponsorship and routines.

Director Takeuchi Ryo is a "vacationer" living in China. The program was shot from the first angle. Through the host, he visited Japanese living in Japan and foreigners living in China to discuss their reasons for staying and their philosophy of life.

The budget of the program group is not much, and the shooting method seems to be amateur. There are too many documentaries that are much better than it, but "I am alive" has thus laid a true, natural and unknown style.

The protagonists are ordinary, have dreams and know exactly what they want to pursue.

The program once interviewed a Japanese grandfather who sold curry in Wuhan. He is affectionately called "Grandpa Island". He doesn't know Chinese, but he has lived in Wuhan for nearly ten years.

Grandpa Dao has a great personality and likes to live a free and unrestrained life.

When I was young, I experienced an era of rapid economic development in Japan. In order to realize my dream of traveling around the world, I quit my high-paying job in Tokyo, went back to my hometown to open an accounting firm, and spent decades traveling to 20 or 30 countries.

Grandpa interspersed "hello" and "thank you" in Chinese and Japanese to attract customers.

After grandpa retired, he came to Wuhan to open a curry shop.

As a boss, he holds the lowest salary in the whole store and only lives in a small house in 700 yuan that he rents every month. Even if he doesn't know the language, he can touch many people around him with sincere heart. He will give a red envelope to the store where he often buys food during the Chinese New Year, provide free Japanese courses in the store all the year round, and even selflessly share his curry secret recipe with his competitors.

Recently, because of the epidemic in Wuhan, the Japanese government prepared chartered flight to take back all the Japanese in Wuhan, but Grandpa Shima refused, saying, "I'm from Wuhan".

It is also a kind of travel significance for the program to narrow the distance between the audience and the world and explore the story of people and cities.

Great village

Douban score: 8.3 points

Sometimes you go too far, don't forget to turn back.

"Great Village" is a "light oxygen" documentary created by the original team of young "craftsmen". The team hopes to record the beauty of 100 villages with images, so that those villages that are on the verge of disappearing under the tide of urbanization can be traced.

The directors in the team were all born in the 1990s, but the content is not inferior at all, with fascinating pictures, smooth mirrors and editing, professional narration and soundtrack.

In these amazing scenery, the village is forgotten bit by bit.

They are all in China, but they are unknown because they are too far away, too high and too old.

In the last reindeer village, several tribes have stuck to their mission for years and generations.

In Lan Yu Island, Taiwan Province, underground stone houses and colorful jigsaw boats contain mysterious and romantic fisherman culture;

Mulituan Village, the version of Huangshan Sky City, has the wisdom of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Some people say that what we see in this documentary is "the feeling of people's dependence and persistence on the land".

Li Zhenya, the general director, said, "Every documentary has a different mission. There's not much we can do, just keep an archive of the land where I was born and raised. The development of history and society is unstoppable, but we should remember where we came from. "

Sometimes, the meaning of traveling is to find a reason to go home.

Hitchhiking to Berlin

Douban score: 9.3

"If you don't do something now, you will never do it."

Hitchhiking to Berlin is the most representative work of Chinese American kyle johnson and documentary director Chang Lu.

In the summer of 2009, three months later, they went from Beijing Houhai to Berlin Brandenburg Gate.

With the help of strangers, * * * hitchhiked 88 times along the way, passing through 65438+6000 kilometers, 13 countries, crossing China, Central Asia, Europe, and reaching Berlin, where kyle johnson's girlfriend is located. This hitchhiking trip ended perfectly.

Road map of kyle johnson and Liu Chang crossing 13 countries.

The one-way ticket from Beijing to Berlin is only several thousand yuan. He hitchhiked and spent more than 20 thousand. He spent three months on the road, and sometimes he couldn't even get a bus for a day.

However, he has the pleasure of direct flight in first class that he will never experience-he needs the most direct trust and communication between people in exchange for not paying for a ride. ...

In the journey, the most difficult thing is to go from Beijing to Hebei.

They waited in Houhai for 1 many hours, and none of the drivers wanted to stop.

Finally, they were taken to the toll station in expressway, Hebei Province by a kind driver, where they waited for the heavy rain, and highway officials kept urging them to leave.

When they explained to the staff why they had to wait for the bus, they replied, "There are very few cars from here to Berlin."

Kyle johnson met his girlfriend in Berlin.

You can define this as a public welfare film, a travel documentary, or a romantic film. Such a trip is probably something that many people want to do but haven't done.

It's bread, it's air, it's a miracle

Douban score: 8.2

Why do we travel? Why should we study?

"Bread, air and miracle", in which "bread", "air" and "miracle" all point to the theme of the documentary-book.

The language form of fuzzy editing with low saturation tone is really Japanese.

This is not so much a documentary variety as a travel note.

It breaks through the traditional travel documentary and presents three unique journeys with different temperament and circumstances from three different perspectives: three guest actors Yu Xia, independent musician Chen Li and poet Nishikawa.

Take Japan as the destination of the first season cultural tour, with eight episodes. The topic includes cultural phenomena and lifestyle, and it is cut from eight angles: eating and drinking, architecture, design, secondary element, occupation, emotion and freedom. Three guests, Chen Li, Nishikawa and Yu Xia, each with three books, go to different places to touch the real Japan, solve their own puzzles and explore their own answers.

At the same time, it can stimulate the audience's desire for reading and traveling, lead the audience to feel the same way, broaden their horizons, and re-recognize themselves and the purpose of traveling and the significance of reading.

It must be a treasure show for lovers of Japanese novels and mystery novels!

Sometimes, the meaning of travel is that I came to your city and took the road you came.

polar region

Douban score: 9.4

The beauty of Tibet is a kind of pious beauty.

Polar Region is a large-scale Tibetan documentary, which uses the poetic narrative language like a movie to show the survival wisdom of Tibet in extreme environment from the love and feelings of ordinary people.

Hairuo Zeng, the general director of the Roof of the World, and Cheng Gong, the director of China on the Tip of the Tongue, the great gods of the domestic documentary industry, are all filled with awe of nature in every frame, story and dubbing.

In just seven episodes, it shows 2 1 ordinary but extraordinary days of Tibetans.

From wildlife conservationists to movie projectors, to locksmiths, dancers and Tibetan doctors ... movies restore our imagination of Tibet bit by bit.

One of the stories is about a salt porter.

In Tibet, one bag of pure salt can be exchanged for three bags of highland barley.

There is a legend circulating in the pastoral area of northern Tibet that transporting salt means going through all hardships except death. Going to salt lake to transport salt can be called the adult ceremony of Tibetan men.

Salt lakes in Tibet are related to salt and alkali. The higher the dimension, the drier the climate and the better the salt in the salt lake. Salt people believe that the farther north you go, the closer you get to the limit of life. This means that salt people will encounter countless snow beasts along the way.

Tsering Wang Qing is a salt carrier. He only brought the salt he needed this year. He taught his grandson, "there is very little salt, we can't finish it, and many people will come over, just enough for us to eat, and we can't be greedy."

On the way home, he sang "Life is like a sunset, and people who go home are like mountains and shadows".

At this time, the significance of traveling is to feel the smallness of life.

Young knight

Douban score 8.9

Life is far more exciting than drama.

"One day, when you are eighty years old, how much courage do you have to dream?"

The main characters of this documentary in Taiwan Province Province are a group of grandparents with an average age of 8 1 year. It is recorded that they bravely pursued their dreams and completed a 3-day trip around the island, with a total distance of1178km.

Time is the best screenwriter, and these old people who have lived in the world for more than 80 years 17 embody this sentence incisively and vividly.

17 The life course of the elderly is different. Most of them came to Taiwan with the Kuomintang troops, speaking various dialects such as Shandong, Jiangsu and Sichuan, and some came from Taiwan Province Province, and they sang Taiwanese songs every time they were happy.

Among them, two people have cancer, four people need hearing AIDS, five people have high blood pressure, eight people have heart disease, and everyone has arthritis.

They want to complete the challenge around the island 13 days, which is impossible for many people.

Doctors don't agree, family members object, but the old people are very determined:

"When I was young, I really wanted to travel to Taiwan Province Province. At this age, there is still a chance to realize this dream. The opportunity has come, I can't miss it. "

So the old people set off with confidence. Although some people were hospitalized, some were injured and some fell off the car, no one quit halfway, especially the head of the team. He has been hospitalized twice, but he insisted on returning to the team after treatment.

And "Young Knight" is not a sad film that makes people cry from beginning to end. On the contrary, the weather is very sunny.

Sometimes, old people, like children, have the cuteness of returning to nature.

Or take a group photo and sneak away to eat ice cream alone, or fight endlessly with balloons and secretly speak ill of old friends behind their ears. They will chase and play on the beach.

There is a passage in the film, in which they write down their wishes on Kongming lanterns: old age, strong body, harmonious family and smooth work for their children.

Watching Kongming's lanterns fly into the night sky, their eyes showed unprecedented expectation and enthusiasm for a long time.

They seem to be telling young people that no matter how old they are, they should have the courage to dream!

Yes, sometimes the meaning of traveling is not to realize your dreams.

What was your most memorable trip and why did you leave?
