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.
敢用黑白的都是高人，比肩聂隐娘和亲爱的同志。无彩是一种志士风骨，而全片唯一出现的蓝色给了青鸟和大海，兹山风骨就是深邃海中沉默隐居的礁岛，若铨和昌大的“父子情“相隔山海虽无多路，但青鸟殷勤为探看。对于“父子”的矛盾，电影看似没有给出和解的答案，但历史对赛先生的地位自有定论。近两百年过去了，腐儒与公权的媾和依旧在伤害无数的昌大，而东亚依旧需要兹山鱼谱。
如果不能学以致用，那便按自己的性情活着好了。
如果我拿了钱，我的孩子问我：我们的钱是哪儿来的？的时候，我要怎么回答呢？告诉她这是打死你爸爸的人给我们的，所以他们没有受到惩罚吗？
主要出戏点：配乐像搜“诙谐”找的罐头音乐，“西巴”之高频大致可推对话也不怎么样
整个电影的BGM很足，常常弄的人很燃，一开始又好气、如果你想拍一部高分片，找一个善良的弱势群体被欺负的很惨，然后为他们呐喊准能高分。
用拉低众人双商的手段来衬托男主的伟光正，这不算捧杀？浪费了好题材
男主角的职业在国内早已被污名化为过街老鼠一般的存在，在可以预见的将来，能与之画上等号的即是女权。如果说让渡权力可以获得更简单安定的生活，那人类又为何从奴隶、封建一直走向共和？
好像在看邻居的电影，但到处是我们自己的影子。好像在读过去的历史，其实讲的又是今天的故事。所有焦虑和挣扎的源头，不过是如何过好这一生。
好看，入世出世，值得回味，真为我们的文化而自豪，不过这个文化，我们自己不看重了……
充满诗意的风物志也是人物志，对东亚儒学 士大夫之类刻画深入浅出，反思多于批判，让我想起前些年《沉默》和《思悼》（和兹山一个导演。个人印象最深的还是片子前期丁若铨在昌大/兹山人身上发现的大道至简，结尾昌大全家望着远处的兹山岛，镜头逐渐推进，真就“此心安处是吾乡”
（原来1200年前的柳河东与1200年后的印度人钱德鲁律师，是可以共情的）
优秀的韩国历史电影，很多重要的命题都抛出来了。可惜都没有真正深入探讨，人物塑造略显模式化，影片风格也经历了几次转变显得形式不够统一。
拍得有点“卡通”，但这部电影……或者应该说是这个故事里被侮辱与损害的人，以及这位律师，真的非常了不起。
罪恶的种姓制度，竟然在现代世界仍然存在，悲哀。印度共产党有出镜，看来是少数的追求种姓平权的党派。
22/1/16:对这个导演比较陌生，从能把一部剧的体量浓缩进了电影还是能看出功底的出色；导演对政治的态度也很妙。三星半
太长了，印度电影有时候长是必要的，但这部长是没必要的，尤其是前面交代背景部分。老毛病吧，非要充三个小时。
妻子不退缩不妥协，她只要正义。律师为人权而战，他们对抗的是当权者，是体制。
有一年中秋，独自往衢山岛，至夜，月满，于海边礁石上抱膝听海，吟诗抒怀。是袁崇焕的一首七律，是讲知己之情，而我只一人，觉得孤独无比。
看得很舒服。超大景深海景特别美。节奏不快也不慢，不是强情节但也不是过度文艺沉沉闷闷很无聊的片子
韩国社会文化很拧巴的一点就是基督教和传统儒教的并行问题，这部电影从基督教（马丁那部近作）发因，而实际美学价值，这种黑白水墨摄影都是东方的。韩国总体来讲文化就是这样拧巴着发展着。黑白，毛笔，水墨，东方美学特色，甚至片名
