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.
保罗•施拉德回归“房间里的男人”之作，回归的还有禁欲式的主角，带着伤痕和过去最后实现复仇
看到一半我就在担心，这种套路的影片往往会走极端，要么神作，要么装逼，看完我更倾向于后者。切入点还不错，故事也算完整，可惜都是浅尝辄止，无论是牌局还是复仇这两条主线都感觉没有说透，让人郁闷，威廉达福打酱油打的几乎可以忽略不计，而最后片尾出字幕时两人手指隔着玻璃接触居然不是定格镜头，因为我无聊到看完，足足五分钟，这导演是有多变态，给3星差不多了！
+。想不到是在讲阿布格莱布和自我救赎。最爱的点在于，秩序与失序两个极端之间，还有一个流动的世界。
一定是部两极分化的电影，你能看到出租车司机的影子。保罗施拉德气质太对了，长处短处都太明显了。他太注重人物精神状态的拿捏而忽视了基本的叙事逻辑。这就让人物和叙事产生了脱节，复仇、打牌、做爱等等这些情节要素都脱离了重点。但是反而这种离心力让人物身上产生迷人气质，于绝望和痛苦中重拾人性。
4.5星。运镜非常有特点，喜欢鱼眼广角镜头和霓虹灯小屋~
太喜欢这个风格了，视听真的很棒，每次这个配乐一起来，丧的情绪就已经到位了，自我救赎与复仇执念，看似走向光明的未来，却没能算到少年意气，最后宿命般的完成使命，坦然迎接结局，只是在最后却又留有了一点光明和希望，爱就是生活的意义。
85/100 整部電影以牌局和復仇兩條簡單的線索同時推進，不過施拉德對兩者都進行了大篇幅的留白處理，我們既不明晰牌局的規則，也不清楚復仇的細節，更不知道用白床單籠罩整個房間的意義，換言之，我們是這部電影的旁觀者，只能遠遠地觀望，並非直接參與者。施拉德有意地簡化了過程（牌局的部分幾乎是符號化的），只向我們展示前因與後果，這種布列松式的抽離設計貫徹全片，給人的感覺如同男主的撲克臉那般沈著冷靜。男主無疑是在牌桌上振臂高呼的美利堅先生光鮮外表的反面，他的過往代表了美國最不堪入目的陰暗面，但真正有權勢的階層是無需上桌的，是隱身的，就像背後支持的金主與全身而退的上校，手上沾血的永遠不會是他們，抱屈含冤的永遠只會是我們，因此這也是一部關於剝削與被剝削者之間博弈的電影。
我也想oscar isaac一边骂我一边朝我扔钱
一个人，极其想远离过去，远离自己犯过的错，又希望做一些美好的事物来回报这个世界，但是事与愿违，最终还是逃不过命运的捉弄，而这个世界就是美国。主角在生活中，被美国的所谓反恐策略所利用又被抛弃，在赌桌上又被来自乌克兰的所谓“美国人”蚕食，下一代又被这个国家自己酝酿的仇恨所害……不过导演还是给了一段唯美的感情，没让观众一down到底。那场霓虹里的漫步和最后的隔屏对指还是能触动人的。
故作深沉，什么事情都没有讲好，ptsd，赌博，感情，犯罪，全都没有说清楚。
只是想看看oscar听他声音的我没想到这是一部这么深邃的片子…… 难受的高潮还是在最后的转折
以为能看到类似赌神的剧情，看来想多了。。。
除了那句“usa！usa!”还有极其敷衍的床戏之外，没有任何可看的地方，太无聊了！不3倍速放完根本坚持不下去！
施拉德再拍一部就可以和《第一归正会》一起凑成“当代美国迷茫与救赎”三部曲了。故事框架上确实有些出租车司机，但此时此刻却又无比需要这样的电影。“USA”哥们儿可能是我年度最佳喜剧角色了。但也真的很绝望，男主不管到哪里，那滑稽的“USA”伴随到哪里，男主不管做什么，最后赢的都是“USA”。
保罗施拉德的镜头我还是爱的，但是这故事节奏慢的我都忍不了，结尾还能更拖吗，以及男女主毫无化学反应。看看Oscar isaac大概是唯一的意义
这故事讲得确实法兰西，但距离法兰西精英还差几个身位
nonononono除了监狱里的几个镜头和奥斯卡伊萨克 这部电影浪费了我宝贵的两个小时
奥斯卡太辣太帅了，剧情比较平淡，但是结局还不错
[20211225 下载]是真没get到到底在讲什么，只知道男主是真的只喜欢打牌，在哪无所谓
