BBC film crew traveled to many places in the world, from the Antarctic to the North Pole, from the coast to the deep seabed, and passed through many marine areas, allowing us to see such a breathtaking picture. Alexander Grimm believes that viewing a lake, river or sea has a feeling similar to "the incomparable presence of the moment". I think how many people who follow this film have felt this "unparalleled" feeling. Blue, the world's favorite color. Sometimes the sea is calm, and the clear shallow water shows a transition from green to blue; sometimes the waves are turbulent, and the waves raised by the huge power are enough to capsize and sink the ship. There are lush forests along the coast, colorful coral reef islands under the sea, and the seaweeds that the sun shines through the sea stretches and dances gracefully in the water.
The creatures living on land live on Gaia, the mother of the earth, so the living system of the ocean provides a blue home for all the people who live on the sea. The film shows the survival wisdom of different creatures from the coast of the ocean, shallow waters, deep seas, and deeper seabeds. It turns out that they are such witty marine species. Bottlenose dolphins can use echolocation to locate schools of fish. Pigtooth fish will use coral reefs to break clams and shells to eat meat. What is it for foodies to knock 50 times in an hour for delicious food? An octopus will absorb shells and become armor to avoid enemy attacks. The saddleback clownfish family worked together to make coconut shells roll up on the bottom of the water and transport them to the home for the female fish to spawn. The "fish boy" sea lions drove the oversized tuna to the Repulse Bay to catch them. The blue homeland provides abundant resources, and it also allows the entire biological chain from low to high level to develop a strong survival instinct.
In addition, this film also shows a variety of complex species of creatures, almost every creature shows the charm of the boundless and vast ocean, as a survival system, they are closely related to the earth.
two. Respect for the existence of life
Your past life was a sea. In the second episode of "Deep Sea", I thought of this sentence when I saw the deep sea scene seen by the image scanning of the detection ship. Through high-tech detection equipment, we were able to see that there are signs of life 8,000 meters below the seabed. As stated in the film, the deep sea may be the origin of life. In the dark seabed, where only the light source of the detector can be used, we have seen creatures such as cross-eyed squid, lantern fish, jellyfish, sea pigs, sea slugs, and some of them only rely on some floating objects and bacteria to survive. The ethereal lionfish swims comfortably at 8,000 meters under the sea. In such a deep sea, like a starfish carrying the pressure of 50 jumbo jets, there is absolutely no problem with Alexander. This detection is also almost the first time for the seabed environment at this negative altitude.
Not only in the seas and coasts visible to human beings, but marine creatures have written their own unique life system. In the entire universe, which is far unknown to us, life exists in its own way, which is very touching and awe-inspiring.
The hardships of survival are more than unique to human beings, and the importance of this survival lies on every living being. The mother sea turtle swims to the beach to lay eggs after the waves, and the little sea turtles who are fortunate to survive set off to the unknown sea alone. They have to go through the whole growth cycle and then return to the shore to lay eggs again to start the cycle of life. Faced with the danger of being preyed by short-tailed stingrays, the spider crabs collectively went to a sea area to shed their shells and metamorphose into a new life; in order to eat the seaweed from the receding tide of the rocky sea, the crabs braved the danger of being swallowed by the snake eel and octopus. Parrots fly thousands of miles to feed their children, and they have to fight with pirate arctic skua in the middle; in order to rest their cubs, walrus mothers can only fight with other walrus groups to grab a piece of ice floes, in order to avoid predatory polar bears; penguins In the ice and snow, the floating hair is shed, and a "leather coat" that is waterproof and cold-proof grows. Apart from the civilization of human beings, why are these creatures not striving to survive every day with a solemn and solemn life ritual? However, from time to time, I will fall into sadness and sadness, and the human beings who cannot forget are also small.
three. Guard our common blue home
Seeing the film crew's producer Ola Doherty going deep into the sea in the second episode of "Deep Sea" reminded me of the famous female marine scientist Sylvia Earle, who has spent a lot of time in researching the ocean. The second time I went deep into the sea, the photo published by National Geographic gave me courage. Not a deliberately prominent female gender, but as a nature lover, these pioneering women are dedicated to our living environment with their own strength. And Rachel Sussman, the author of the book "The Oldest Life in the World", also searched for longevity in every corner of the world in order to explore the possibility of life continuation. The civic volunteers in the film who protect sea turtles off the coast of South Africa have finally increased the number of sea turtles.
The ocean is not only home to marine life, but also our blue home. Sylvia Earle said: "Without the ocean, there is no life. Without blue, there is no green. Without the ocean, there is no us." As the final episode of the film shows the seriousness of the marine environmental problem, As the scope of human activities has become larger, we have also imposed evil hands on this deep blue sea many times. But for the destruction of the marine environment, we will ultimately suffer the consequences.
When the mother whale in the film has been dragging the dead baby whale, the sea turtle entangled in the plastic rope finally drowned, and the albatross who ate various "human-made" products fed back the young birds, etc., we all saw this scene. A heart-wrenching loss of life.
We may not be aware of the damage to the marine environment caused by carbon dioxide and plastics, and the indirect climate change has already affected the living environment of human beings. Compared with the large amount of greenhouse gases emitted by vehicles and the non-degradable plastics that are dumped into the sea every year, meat production in animal husbandry produces immeasurable carbon dioxide.
As early as in antiquity, our ancestors put forward such a transcendental law of survival, "If you don't violate the agricultural season, the grain will not be invincible; if you don't enter the pond, the fish and turtles will not be able to eat; the axe will enter the mountains, forests and trees in time. It is invincible. The grains and fish and turtles are invincible, and the forest is invincible. It is to keep the people healthy and die without shock. Health preservation is the beginning of the king's way."
Without blue, there is no green, looking at this A piece of blue, you can see the original appearance of life.
