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.
不是你们观测的时候能不能关灯啊？？？这不是常识吗我真的无语？虽然academia is a perfect place for introverts但我真的不相信全美那么多搞行星科学的居然没有一个能站出来把话说清楚的？这一行里真的不是所有人都是nerds，科普确实难但刻板印象更恶心，点开三次都没看下去，我放弃了
Finally，终于有一部末日灾难片，人类阻止不了一切的发生！用这片开启2022年实在太美好了！明知是荒诞，但忍不住点头，对对对抓得太准了！ps：其实这片里全员都不“正常”，像Kate对上校用免费零食骗他们钱的执着，已经和上校用免费零食骗钱本身一样好笑了。
政客、资本家、媒体、民众……自私、贪婪、愚蠢、盲目……毁灭吧，赶紧的。
好莱坞总算在川普卸任后找到了一点回应这个时代的技巧。与其说挖苦右翼的无知是意料之中，那么自嘲左派的无能与自我感动也许就是情理之外了。为什么左派在很多议题上占据了所谓的“正义”却always lose。也许这个世界就应该被毁灭吧。
大表姐咋胖成这样了…真相其实凄惨得多，他们甚至没有聪明到可以像你们描述得那样邪恶。近期最好的政治讽刺喜剧大作，台词的密度和信息量都让人满意，意识形态高度对立社会的的绝佳写照。
否认病毒，为了官员的乌纱；夸大病毒，为了排除异己，再让中药商、物资供应的垄断者很赚一笔。科学从来都是被权力支配的，福柯早就洞察了一切。
各种讽刺看得挺开心比如stupid tiktok challenges 这星光闪闪的lineup光写完大家的名字都要花好长时间 茶就无足轻重的凑热闹角色 Cate身材好好！对比起来老李被称什么最性感科学家可见鬼去吧他在这里看着的确像我和我的家乡里范伟的扮相 如果知道什么时候会死 在死之前会做什么呢？和亲朋好友聚在一起最后的晚餐其实挺不错
放低期待后来看感觉也还可以接受，政治讽刺的冷幽默是在的，有几处还是让我笑出声了。顺带一提的性别讽刺也有点意思，celebrate the man, blame the woman, so classic, huh? 片子是真·大牌云集，万万没想到还(又)有Chris Evans客串，这位大哥是客串上瘾了吗😂不过看到结尾内心最大的感受是：在2021年有彗星撞地球，还有这种好事？
Facts Don’t Care About Your Feelings
东北洪常秀, 你好
临近结局时我突然想到了《火星救援》和《死在火星上》，突然希望当时的火星之上还有个马克达蒙（不是）和唐跃。但结局又是如此………《银河系漫游指南》，就像你看着海豚从海里飞升一般的荒诞，又会充满蜜汁感动：陨石真美啊，草，人类果然还是毁灭吧。
We can have a movie called Don’t Look Down:)
按照欧美现在的做法，内容有点过于真实了。至于中印俄的问题，一边是流浪地球饱和式救援，一边是财团的孤注一掷，当然了还得对比上目前上海这种低级红高级黑的做法，我都不知道到底在第几层，到底在讽刺什么了。最后，对于地球对于宇宙，人类似乎确实有些过于傲慢了……
挺有趣的剪辑，有在故意制造焦虑和靠近宏大叙事。表演过于浮夸，消解了大部分现实意义，也让影片从政治喜剧跌落至滑稽闹剧。/ 2022第一部
挺好看的政治喜剧，揶揄的也不仅是政治，而是当下的众生相。政客商人全是私利，乌合之众也好不到哪儿去。互联网时代无秘密，但政客却依然能挑动每个人的神经线，或者也不是他人的挑唆，全是私利使然。又想到最近“请指教”中的【大嘴巴子】，类似的表达，我比较同意杨超的说法，后者有喜剧的框架，却缺了喜剧的血肉，当然有篇幅所限，但更重要的是一些生活的冗余。科学家也被私利裹挟，忽然的浮华世界让他眼花缭乱，立场也在不断变化。很喜欢这部片子的剪辑，讨论与宣布因为剪辑增强了节奏感、趣味性与讽刺。演员阵容也惊艳，小李子已经演成年人的父亲，凯特女王居然可以把个妖艳贱货诠释得如此不讨厌也好奇妙，当然还有梅姨。很多桥段非常解构，无论是中将拿白宫免费零食骗钱，抑或彩蛋的万年后怪鸟吃人。当代喜剧电影确实需要脑洞乱入的戏谑！
还是挺喜欢的，《疯狂的外星人》后传《疯狂的地球人》——“毁灭吧，赶紧的，累了！”
其实让人印象最深刻的是剪辑，真的胆子挺大的
既没有走向杜蒙也没有走向拉斯冯提尔，反而走向了周六夜现场。当我觉得麦凯完全可以更加尖锐一些的时候，背后的焦虑已经将人淹没，人们面对末日可以做些什么，麦凯告诉你除了蠢事之外什么都做不了，在严肃语境缺失的当下将小品拼接在一起是否本身就是娱乐至死洪流中的一支呢？所有那些似曾相识的能在现实中找到映射的桥段需要反省的不止是影片所发生的地方，一部让人完全无法笑出来的喜剧，或许很多年之后再回头看这部戏会重新定义它。一众卡司之中，印象最深的除了J.Law之外居然是A妹，好笑也是她，那段现场倒是放全了啊。
讽刺喜剧离不开的典型后现代手法 媒介杂糅 人物扁平而被归属于某类单一性格 景别打乱至人与物划归到同一表现地位 类似定格的间离手法轮番上场 可惜在从完全抽离情感的真空设定到最后落笔小人物家庭的过渡显得僵化 说白了口嗨那么多最后又畏手畏脚地回归到主流价值观的输出上了
What do I need to discover to get to see the president in the White House?
