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.
4.5 I think the institutions of our democracy are wonderful things
本想着看着睡了，没想到一口气看完了，只有震惊，感动，艾伦索金的剧作和导演水平都是好莱坞顶峰级的 全世界都在看着
感恩官摄，从I'm an islander开始哭瞎，最难受的是有些东西变了有些东西没变，但我们再也回不到二十年前。
看完偷自行车的人听听反派影评，回想一下，索金大大还可以加油哈哈哈
应景是一回事，但如果艾伦索金最拿手的台词没有起到作用，那么他就会显得相当平庸，结尾强起的bgm印证了这种无力。除了萨沙的艾比霍夫曼外人物都颇单薄。“把一件事情说明白了”可算不上什么像样的标准。
8.0准确无误地拍出了这个剧本，但也被其束缚，不过文本本身所具有的能量足够强大。调度并不平庸，但只是做到了可以做到的——匠气十足的人物/权利关系网（带着压迫的法官位置逐渐被群众压下）。
Davis 本人对索金的人物塑造持保留意见 缺点或者说窠臼还是有不少的 但让我个人兴奋的 reference 也是不少(别再吹 Eric Clapton 了 Ginger Baker 比他好到不知那里去了) 结尾的煽动性和喊话够直接 —— The Whole World Is Watching 但同时也要看到：Of course, there are very decent police officers in every state but the systemic racism in the police department just can’t be denied. 好歹是本方队友加一分鼓励吧 希望索金还是意识一下自己太白了的缺点 这种白化简直是可怜了的骑墙感
结尾还是回到理想主义立场，不愧是艾伦·索金。
索金的剧本确实很好，电影三段式地一点一点铺垫奠基，配乐搭配得很好，情绪氛围慢慢达到高涨，戛然而止。
世界上有这么多优秀专业的创作人士，我平凡得就像一棵草☹️
七年前写过这片的新闻，索金从08年就开始写这个剧本，最早是准备给斯皮尔伯格拍，连着换了三个大导演都没成，最后索金才决定亲自上阵。一直拖延到今年大选前夕，刚好也有了新的时代意义。影片没太展现异皮士的疯狂行为艺术，几乎把全部篇幅都放在他最擅长的文戏台词上，机关枪般密集扫射。“道不同但方向相同”，"If our blood is gonna flow, let it flow all over the city“，“你是否想和平推翻政府？我们每四年都在这么做”，“比起政府对我的蔑视，我对它的蔑视不值得一提”，"All world is watching!" 结案陈词读4752个名字好燃
9.11二十周年，当初岛上停留的旅客，机组成员和原住民给彼此带来的温暖延续到了现在，女机长的部分全剧最佳。愿战争远离我们，和平不易。
凌厉的剪辑，干练的台本与机关枪般的对白是索金的强项，审判法庭戏和真实暴动片段闪回交叉叙事。“如果要流血，那就让鲜血流淌整座城市”，到头来才发现，是我们的血，政府早就安插了卧底，公诉人是他们的，证人是他们的，法官也是他们的，审判不过是流于形式的程序正义。看到最后我真的哭了，一如辩护人般的公义之花开在公权力之上，一如波斯语课般神谕式的念出四千多个烈士名单，相比政府对我们的蔑视，我对政府的蔑视不值一提。9
本片能拿多少个提名我不知道，倒是关注里有多少个人上人我是知道了【狗头保命】
“- 你竟然把选举排在第一位？平等 正义 教育 贫穷 进步这些排在第二位？ - 如果不赢得选举，谁排第二就不重要了。” 这些年的观察是，人类是不会拥有普世价值的，他谈生存你谈自由，他谈发展你谈公平。世界像是一团皱巴巴的纸，所谓的坐标系根本就不曾存在的，唯一能把大家拉平的办法就只有，付之一炬。
我们不悲观，憧憬着2035吧，前两天的公报说那时的中国也将建成法治国家、法治政府、法治社会…
浹淇说：“在此时这部电影的社会意义大于电影本身。”我也这么认为，换个时间，我可能都不会选择在周末看这样一部zz庭审片。跟《燃情岁月》里的父亲一样，一直主张远离zz，但其实我们的生活处处跟它息息相关。才看了没三分钟，C就说“这不会是那个人编剧吧？”一查，真是，艾伦·索金，太厉害了，好久没见过台词写得这么精密又有效的了，有点新好莱坞时代或者比利怀德鼎盛时期的意思。人物很有意思，性格面貌不同，充分体现出阶级差异。萨莎太出彩，他这种表面嘻嘻哈哈的人容易被大众误解，其实内里最坚强也最正义，行动上也很有逻辑支持，算是这7人中最让我喜欢的。小雀斑的角色最后没让人失望，骨子里还是manly的。故事相对简单化了一些，但有高密度的台词打底，还是很有看头的。
剪辑很好，简洁有力，干净利落地向观众交代清楚了复杂时代下的复杂事件，体现了好莱坞的工业水准。但是我并不是很能共情这些被审判的人，也许在历史事实上他们的遭遇确实有引人义愤的一面，可当他们的事迹进入文化工业，成为好莱坞在选战中的手榴弹，那么他们的角色和他们自身就都已经变成了工具人。
音乐剧将可以情绪放大，人性之光在台上变得更加闪耀，于是我就每场都哭🥹
强权用肮脏下作的手段把白涂成黑，把和理非变成暴力鲜血。时间过得好快，那些消失的人的名字，会有一天被念出来吗？你愿意出多少价钱放弃自己的抗争和思想？我的生命。
