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.
不过即便如此，该片依然称得上是自《疾速追杀3》后最好的动作片，就冲这点它值得我的五星。
与之前作品相比多一份厚重
咦，看得“瞳孔地震”的那位豆友，以前是不是没太关注过阿莫多瓦啊？这组人物关系，在阿老师这儿根本不算乱啊，夺么简洁明快【喂】性向之流动、（大众眼光中的）奇情之生发，完全是常态，吃饭睡觉呼吸一般，根本不是事儿。重点还是记忆与真相，记忆与真相不可能被永远掩埋。新生儿必须回归母亲的怀抱，死难者也必须回归真正的墓穴。谎言必将被揭穿。#求万友推荐（靠谱的）西班牙内战相关著作#
张力当然是比不上巅峰时期了 但是也太温情了 结尾一堆人举着照片 好像todo sobre mi madre再现 双线叙事非常动人 从家庭和历史层面双重反思 佩姨演技炸裂不用说了吧
搞不懂后面为什么会和佛朗哥还有长枪党扯上关系
正如片尾的字幕卡，其实副线故事才是阿莫多瓦要表达的。但是他依然选择了一个奇情故事作为主线，在反复的唾液取样中看似异常割裂的两条故事线也粘合在一起。血亲关系无论巧合或是残暴地分开都会在某个时点显现真相。而在主线故事里阿莫多瓦很早就给出一个在很多作品中都出现的矛盾点，即错抱的孩子。观众本来在心里已经预设了各种可能性，但是故事发展打破了各种预设，从故事的精巧上可圈可点。只不过本片对要表达的内容很直白近乎于说教。
赞成厚重的东西轻轻地说，但前后割裂得太明显，感觉是没有准备得当就开拍了。男人随着历史被埋葬隐形，女人在传承在面对。“历史永远不会沉默。不论他们如何诋毁、篡改、伪造，人类的历史都拒绝保持沉默。”
5 两条线生硬的并在了一起融合成了一部教育片。
抱错孩子的题材很容易落入俗套，但阿莫多瓦讲了个不一样的故事。
不是很能理解刚开始知道真相后女主的选择，是要和挖掘那条线一起来说真相永不会被掩埋？母亲这一角色在这里颇有历史见证人的意味，她们繁衍下一代，不止将血脉更是将文化与历史一代代传递下去
#95thAcademyAwards# 阿莫多瓦的电影里，女人温柔可爱也有不堪之处，但都包容似深沉的海，对比之下（爱女人的）男人都是窝囊废。压在女人身上的痛苦也绝不是突从天降扰乱人生进程的那种，是普通地流淌在日常生活细节与细节之间。爱女人的男人，爱男人的男人，爱男人的女人，爱女人的女人，先爱男人后爱女人的女人，先是男人后变女人的人⋯性取向、性别认同等等从来不是他探讨的主题，所有的一切都自然而然发生而已。想到吉本芭娜娜，他和吉本芭娜娜是同一种看世界的视角。【潘潘和Ana的演员之间蛮有火花】
【NYFF59】3.5；和主题割裂感过重，Penelope的表演虽好但总感觉没有好到影后程度（我先滑跪一个）有几处剧本很出彩。虽然主题部分做得有点别扭，但最后一幕出来的时候还是挺感慨的，个体与族群的痛苦之根融合为一，无人能不动容。
不了解西班牙的那段历史以至于觉得电影有割裂的两个主题。感受到了克鲁兹的美貌。
这样没有男性角色的新型家庭的叙述或许是在给年轻妈妈们勇气
历史与呈现个体没有融在一起。阿莫多瓦厉害之处在于对奇情与异色的消解与转化，这次显然拍得很轻松，但镜头下的女性依旧拥有强大的情感能量。
关于历史反思和伦理关系，两个主题的融合有点强硬，故事非常奇情
抱错孩子的题材很容易落入俗套，但阿莫多瓦讲了个不一样的故事。
其实是真实永远无法沉默，存在永远无法篡改，事实无法回避。我们都有来处，这个来处是永恒存在。不管是真实的战争之后，还是生活的残垣之下。三个母亲，其实就是母亲的三个面：慌乱受伤、坚韧肯定、自由意志。面对孩子，面对男人，面对家人，面对历史的存在，她们复杂但寻求。阿莫多瓦太还是那双平行的眼👏平行地注视着女人。
Chris Evans在剧中的小胡子造型让我觉得他之后可以分别出演斯大林、周树人以及希特勒。
因为西班牙内战前后的历史可能是除中国外我最熟悉的一段了，于是开头大概抓住了阿莫多瓦这次的政治线索，电影也就显得更“亲近”一些。内容上自然可以代入政治的交错复杂、或远或近的联系，但结构上不应该是这种政治式的“顾左右而言他”，否则就会像这部一样“莫名其妙”。阿莫多瓦不从具体而微进入，而是直接挖掘历史遗迹，这份不变真诚和恳切仍然让我万分敬重。
