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.
一个惨痛背景下温馨的故事。遇到灾难所体现的那种人类互助的温暖。
即使只是在屏幕前我的情绪也被带动，被美好的人性震撼，甚至我的身体都在微微发抖。演员们的完美配合以及角色转换也令人惊叹。希望在今年十月下线以前可以看一场现场。
“你是否藐视我们的政府？”
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
索金的电影应该叫speech film：完全靠对话驱动、用对话衔接镜头、以对话为主要甚至唯一动作的电影。本片尤其明显的是一个场景常剪在人物一句话说到半截再由下个场景中的人物完成这个句子，用言语的对比、延伸和重复制造speech montage，而其余音效（杯子响、掌声、法槌、摔门声）都是不间断的台词间为数不多的标点。配乐则无足轻重，本片中只有类似警民冲突这种不以可辨识对话为核心的短暂场景中作为不易察觉的低音和声存在（《社交网络》就不会这样）。好在speech正是法庭的特征和公民不服从的内核，话语权的争夺成为影片最直观（闻）的戏剧冲突，所有情感调动也皆由与话语和话语权相关的剧情点燃起。缺点是本片成了大型mansplain六十年代精神现场，这种对speech的迷恋和索金所代表的白男局限进步政治简直一体两面。
以前反战，现在反川，以后反呼吸，美国因为能容许这些人蹦跶而美
历史上没有哪一次的所谓正义的群体维权事件不会上升为流血和暴力，只能概括为四个字：乌合之众。
虽然还是金句迭出，但有一种不出所料的倦怠。大概是年纪上去了，对这种政治意图过于明显的片子有点溶不进去。说起来二十年前west wing里的左派们倒有一种向右兼容的勇敢。而今只剩下你死我活的匹夫之勇了。
莫须有罪政治作秀，两人凑数一人堵嘴；对抗父权只需扛棍棒，种族平等随时赔性命；花天酒地一镜之隔，警徽摘除暴力升级；和理非勇武不割席，“让我们的血流遍整座城”，回归述求阵亡名单……索金这剧本找导演拍找了十多年，终于在最贴合现实的时候自己上阵把片子拍出来了，可喜可贺
911导致飞机迫降，一大堆来自世界各地不同的语言、信仰、性向、饮食的陌生人被迫隔离封闭在一个小岛。导致的个体巨大的孤独、断层感，与世界割裂崩塌(虽然生活扔要继续)，失去一切被无力所吞噬，在困境中如同cosplay的异样。承受着同样的割裂与孤独的人们无法忍受新闻，走出家门为陌生人做点什么，用宽容与爱去对抗这一切的故事。
所有政权都怕名单
Important film at a critical time
热评给我看笑了。无可挑剔的台词被说成匠气，音乐一般带着激情又优美律动的剪辑被说成凌乱，只能说这种观众配不上Sorkin。单单是Dave在法庭上无意识打了警察然后不停道歉就值得本信徒再看100遍。
The.Trial.of.the.Chicago.7.2020.1080p.WEB.h264-PALEALE
第一次感受到了舞台剧的震撼，这还是隔着屏幕的感受，在现场的话，非常幸福了！
他们的平民团结可以带来正义或者改变，不论输赢，起码曾经为之抗争过。
“我从未因为思想而受到政府审判” 高潮戏略有逊色，但依然令人热泪盈眶，如果你会因此泪目，那是因为内心深处对自由的渴望尚未泯灭。
4.5 我是真的太喜欢这部电影了，对政治毫不感兴趣的话看起来也一点儿不费力，索金的剧本能力一如既往的扎实。据说这部电影13年前就立项了，现在美国政治环境下拍出来倒是刚刚好十分合适。但缺点也很明显，就是太工整了，所有条条框框都是无形地被框死的，演员少了很多发挥的余地。另外，一部电影能集合这么多我喜欢的演员（小雀斑、囧瑟夫和Jeremy Strong）真是不容易
惊艳于索金处理庞杂素材的能力。开篇以定义时代的两件暗杀铺好基调，再用首尾呼应贯穿全片的越战死亡名单确保观众每一分钟都呆在60年代的混乱语境里；漫长的庭审时间被划成了各有重心的段落，穿插历史影像、闪回、单口表演，在戏谑和沉重的交替中把情绪一层层往上推；冲突设置上，先是赋予邪恶以肉身，让暗涌的不公与阴谋化身成这场庭审中有绝对权力的法官（恶心和可怕程度让人想起《飞越疯人院》的拉切特），与此同时，在被告阵营又营造出Tom Hayden与Abbie Hoffman之间的理念之争与惺惺相惜；还非常喜欢索金在单个场景塑造的舞台感，和一些简化后反而更有象征意义的语词和动作，黑豹首领的失语，历史的单向玻璃，“我们的”血，摘下的警徽…This is the academy awards of protest
不愧是百老汇啊，舞台上的每个人包括最后的乐手都是魅力四射，通过舞台，我们看到了在甘德这么一个平时被人遗忘的小镇，危难时刻涌现出人性的光辉，又通过中东人，飞行员，纽约市民，失去消防员的母亲等等个体完整的反应了整个事件，轻松而严肃，幽默又不失温情
