      encounter

      encouter, one hundred minutes long, every frame is beautiful, bizarre creatures under the ice, five-shaped creatures with four long slender legs, crazy penguins heading inland away from their habitats, dying on the road, volcanoes exposed to magma, There are also people who live in Antarctica with dreams and stories in their hearts, women who stick to the ice and listen to voices from another world, and scientists who are looking for new species under the ice. The eyes of the people in the...

      meaning of adventure

      The last paragraph of the film is a quote from Alan Watts:
      Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself;
      Through our ears, the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies;
      And we are the witness through which the universe becomes conscious of its Glory, of its magnificence.

      The pride and ambition of Antarctic research workers is on the paper. It is truly admirable.

      They went to Antarctica, not for a simple adventure, not to show off their travel...

      "Meet at the End of the World"

      "Meet at the End of the World", to be honest, this film makes me ambiguous because it is near and far from me. When it comes to protecting nature, it is everyone's duty, and it is very close to me; the event happened in Antarctica, a contest between conservation and hunting, but it is so far away from me. Watching this film, I only hold the original intention of taking a look at the beautiful scenery and strengthening the awareness of protecting nature, so there is neither the best nor the...

      cute

      A very cute movie, any animals in it are cute enough to make me smile. Of course, the director is also very cute, and only a cute director can export a cute movie.
          If you want to ask me how to define cuteness for me, I pinched my fingers and counted my eyes, and I would probably say, childlike innocence and childlikeness~
         All the people who meet at the end of the world are old children, simple practitioners, Professional dreamer.
         It's a pity that I can't understand it...

      Encounter at the end of the world

      After watching this documentary, my heart is left and my heart is disappointed
      . I am satisfied with the madness of the polar sunshine, the seals, the chirping volcanoes, the boiling penguins... I am
      even more delighted in every overly friendly face in the shot.
      Someone said, "People who are not bound will fall to the bottom of the earth"
      I shivered with excitement and resonated with it　
      , but all this was only temporary consolation when I looked at
      the huge McMurdo...

      12.13 The other side of the South Pole. Dreamer, identity dislocation, insignificance, clearing, lying on the ground listening to Pink Floyd of the seal version, the light of enthusiasm, alien seabed, the presupposition of intelligence in the single-cell era, ROCK, rediscovering language, freedom in front of you, running wild Penguin, a British-style volcanologist, a gift across...

    Movie quotes

    • Stefan Pashov: And I think there's a fair amount of the population here who're full time travelers and part time workers. So, yes those are the professional dreamers, they dream all the time. And I think, through them the great cosmic dreams come into fruitition because the universe dreams to our dreams. I think that there is many different ways for the reality to bring itself forward, and dreaming is definitely one of those ways.

    • Doug MacAyeal: Might as well be on a piece of the South Pole but yet I'm actually adrift in the ocean, a vagabond floating in the ocean, and below my feet I can feel the rumble of the iceberg, I can feel the change, the cry of the iceberg, as it's screeching and as it's bouncing off the seabed, as it's steering the ocean currents, as it's beginning to move north. I can feel that sound coming up through the bottoms in the my feet and telling me that this iceberg is coming north. That's my dream.

    • Doug MacAyeal: Unlike Scott and Shackleton, who viewed the ice as this sort of static monster that had to be crossed to get to the South Pole, we scientists now are able to see the ice as a dynamic living entity that is sort of producing change, like the icebergs that I study. For me it's been a wild wide. First of all I found out that the iceberg that I came down to study not only was larger than the iceberg that sank the Titanic, it was not only larger than the Titanic itself, but it was larger than the country that built the Titanic. That's pretty big.
