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.

放逐：
分了三段看的看完的。每段都有哭，最后看那段视频的时候哭到抽泣。
很多人可能会看睡着，但那些没有看睡着的人，会得到一种全然不同的体验。
完成度异常的高，画面细腻，感情层层递进，在公路片中算佼佼者
在我看来的孤独却好像是支撑她一路行进的力量。
赵婷只是如所有abc和久居欧美发达国家的亚裔一般，在努力地用文化认可和地域认可来增加自己的归属感罢了。
1.整体基调更偏是枝裕和式的日式公路片，这倒是比较奇妙的结合，拿着日式的镜头拍美国的荒蛮之地，首先不要太带着矫情的心态去看吧，但最近一个很强的感受是，大多数人还比我更矫情；2.活着是为了讲述，为了离开的人，同类型题材一如海曼，情感总归是淡淡的，达不到海曼的那种痛如骨髓的切肤之痛，近两个小时的时间里，生活与自然的边界迷糊，其实是西方的某种窗口，好几段重复上路的镜头，车尾像一个救护车，但我觉得这几段强调失去了意义，并没有在整片结构里起到心境变化之类的作用，主角要面对的，是无休止上路的话，对大家来说，打了好几拳没有打到肉挺难受。整体可以有7.6分，归结于，这种气质的片子，或许只有亚洲人能拿捏得住。
本片的精神底色或已从角色口中自行说出：美国的传统精神。既是独立自主的个体，又忠实于家庭和社群之爱，人际间以共情和互助为纽带。但与当初的西部开拓者不同，他们或多或少是被迫上路，是心灵中隐秘的伤痕无可弥合，唯有苍茫天地尚可安放。因此，本片虽具有马力克式的自然主义视野，但其内核更偏向《海边的曼彻斯特》式的伤痕书写。马力克的自然是存在的主宰或形而上的自在至高者，而赵婷对自然的理解更偏向将其作为心灵的空间，唯自然可容纳我们情感的本真，在苍茫天地间我们不必发现任何人，只用发现自身、治疗自身，并重新确证意义与人生。总之，本片的表象或是自然之诗，但其实质则是心灵之记。天地自然亦与现代社会相对立，它也相应地成为了失落者的新家园，但或许它本来就是我们的家园，是自足而不自负的人们，在荒芜的沙漠中，建造家与帝国。
像一首隽永悠长而意犹未尽的散文诗，关于旅途、也关于人生。
我应该适合什么 应该做最安全的选择
我们永远都不会说再见，因为离开，亦是为了久别后的重逢。电影的视角异常深沉宽广，它不简单是对“无依之人”生活的记述，而是极富层次地探讨了生活的意义，生命的意义。我们是否生而孤独，生与死的界限究竟在哪，如何面对爱情和家庭的失去，什么才是真正的铭记和遗忘，这些问题终究难以回避，但在平时却是疏于感受的。影片柔和隽永的外表下蕴含着粗粝的哲学思考，导演对情绪和节奏的拿捏很到位，跟前作《骑士》相比少了绝对情感上的浓度，却是一副更谦卑和成熟的姿态。 - NYFF58 by FLC Virtual Cinema (9/26/2020)
金球奖落下帷幕，无依之地成为最大赢家，除了斩获最佳剧情电影，赵婷也获得了最佳导演……在我看，这部电影足以和Charles Chaplin的《Modern Times》比肩，都是在讲经济大萧条之下的人性光辉大爱无言。弗朗西斯-麦克多蒙德和“漂泊者”之间的互助就像Chaplin和孤女，彼此帮扶亲密无间，并且全部都坚信希望之光就在眼前。奥斯卡影后沧桑的面容很富有年代感，她追逐着季节更换工作频繁，与《Modern Times》的Chaplin异曲同工即便相隔近百年！
只想看看赵婷水军如何在赵婷所谓充满谎言和虚假的中国宣发这个片子，有一说一，这种无病呻吟的病娇片真是特别适合豆瓣装逼党
我喜欢这种剧。不管多老，都要有一颗自由的心。
想起之前在Amazon打工的經歷 工友大部分是移民 很多退休的 破產的 有腦損傷的 有剛放出來的 有個別的剛工作幾周又關進去的 各種的歧視剝削威脅 時間長了對精神真是會造成嚴重的創傷 最後逼得我去考了研 操 恨他就送他去amazon上班 #UBIBuildsBackBetter 三十多年的Poole's Land去年也結束了 就在幾家媒體為Amazon員工沒時間上廁所在瓶子裡尿尿的事情鬧得沸沸揚揚的時候 知情人士最近發聲了 Amazon希望公眾把目光聚集在瓶子裡小便的事情上面 已此來遮蔽快遞司機在塑料袋裡拉屎並把屎帶回工廠的事件
很多人可能会看睡着，但那些没有看睡着的人，会得到一种全然不同的体验。
生命是趟没有终点的旅程，不论我们选择走哪条路都没有对错之分，而生命的终极意义是摆脱无明找到真我。
整个片子时间压缩得特别紧，完全没有段落感，人一个个的来，又一个个地重逢和离别。这条路的哲学和安叔要和人认真告别的想法正好相反，是永远不去告别、相信还会遇见，哪怕他们已经去了天国。
