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.
失望，但为了“有选择”和“都是自己人”，补到及格分。
电影不能只有美，如果单独的极致可以代替一切，那可能这个世界很快就会失去平衡
9.29于北京国际电影节。中国的学院派作品，太诗意了。高分辨率的黑白电影总能戳中观众的视觉神经。 无序的事物在的润泽之下变得和谐而有质感。是清澈的溪水漱过碎石，是清凉的晚风吹过芦苇荡，是氤氲的烟汽升腾于山间森林，是曳光的子弹射入士兵的胸膛。全片的光影浸透着温柔又暴力的美感。这场战争里，当交战双方用着相同的方言对话，便再没有胜利可言。
3.说战争吧 没什么大规模的枪火 都是大家拿着枪放几下 摆个架势 说文艺吧 偶遇的渔家女天然的正义
看得出是大影节最喜欢的风格了，对于人物心理的刻画很绝，区别于战狼系的燃炸爽，全程心都是被揪着拧着疼着，审美很高级，镜头直怼的时刻演员的微表情也都可以hold得住。中国美术学院对于“美”的拿捏还是很到位。姚安娜的方言说得不错，演得也没掉链子，不管是不是带资进组，这次交出的答卷肯定是合格的。
理想与现实的赞歌，有点1917的影子，但差距不是一星半点。
但与电影主流文化看上去有些许“另类”
作为消解宏大叙事的主流意识形态，我认为这是一个很好的开端，包括审美体验上
印象里有几个天马行空的设计，但看到最后也没琢磨明白。
但是片尾这里必须活！
人物形象的刻画一般，表演还有待加强，剧情太简单，由于成本有限好多戏没能拍到位，给人的震撼不够，代入感就不强。最后芦苇荡里的戏可以拍的再好一些，现在这样给人一种很随便的感觉
比较晦涩，想表达的东西太多，结果四不像。想影射党内的路线之争，想讲人性在战争环境的挣扎，又想表现战争的残酷，又太注重美学构图。还想夹带私货，KMT大喊我是自己人。可能做的好的地方只有方言，还有步枪射击的子弹嗖嗖的音效。最后那个血雨染红真的不懂，都说了电影是镜头语言，最后想说什么，革命道路是献血染红的？天上下血雨是为啥？我理解可能就是纯粹为了所谓艺术的美，而美，没有服务于故事。二星差不多了……我没花钱，要不就一星了。
但与电影主流文化看上去有些许“另类”
影像很美，调度有出彩的地方。故事很单薄。影像的诗意≠诗电影。
某公众号说“最近新片最惊喜的一部”是指烂的让人惊喜吗？又开始集体意识自嗨了是吧？（顺便能别刷好评吗，自己点进去看看有几个是诈尸的号，不觉得丢脸吗
是执行命令，还是带兄弟们活下去，我下不了决心。却在芦苇荡的枪声里，山洞的口令中，河上的渔歌里，做出了生死的选择。如果河神能变成大鱼保护渔民，谁来保护这万里山河。老子顶天立地，凭什么你一声命令，大家就得去送死？因为肩上的一杆步枪，胸口的一道密令，天上的一场血雨和这护佑了山河的决心。
2021年北影节的天坛奖，其他入围电影都在讲故事，只有这片是在展示学院派美学。人物、剧情、台词都不仅仅是白描了，直接简笔画勾勒，寥寥几笔画出全片架构，然后就是各种美学意义浓厚的镜头画面：潜水渡河，以及最后的血色染红黑白画面都很绝。
补充：球球了刷评能不能不要这么明显……
视听在我看来非常优秀，芦苇荡镜头逻辑有点乱。内地院线需要更多这样的“电影院电影”。
影片有自己独特的影像风格，但影像风格并不是电影的一切，如果说这是习作，差不多能到7分，可这是一部院线，那不好意思5分不能再多了。
