The scarcer, the more valuable!

Obviously, it is a documentary, but this work makes me confused and stunned, very contradictory! The confusion lies in the fact that if the photographer of the documentary of a work is far more photographic than the photographer of the documentary, how should I evaluate this work? From my real point of view, in my opinion, the work of a photographer is far more complicated than what the photographer himself conveys. Therefore, it is not so much a record of a photographer as an expression of the photographer’s work. And these works, from a higher artistic level, do not belong to the photographer, but that the photographer witnessed these objective art images from his perspective, so these images exist as art more than as photographers' works. The existence of the film is very contradictory to me. I think the entry of the photographer is unnecessary. Even the narration is weaker than the expression of the photographic work. From the perspective of the main body and theme of the work, of course, it needs this person. The photographer expresses what he has done, but from an artistic point of view, I think that when he clearly tells me what these photographic works are, it deprives me of my imagination to a certain extent, and also covers the real, heavy, rich, Life-rich photos have a purer value. I can't seem to think more deeply about the moments when photography freezes them, because the interpretation of the narration destroys all of this → this wonderful moment that should be still in the present. And when I look at the whole work, get √ the photographer’s perspective clearly, the whole face he presents to his work, the meaning conveyed by the work, and I sincerely admire his compassion and care. Photography is the photographer’s Eyes, and the moment when photography freezes, it is usually a capture of a continuous real moment. I may not think that at the moment, this capture must represent the most important and richest expression in this continuous time, because of the deepness of things. The essence of hierarchy is much more subtle than what we can see with the naked eye. Even if it has a certain best moment, it must be a moment that cannot be captured. And these photographic works are only a deep observation of the photographer's ability. The technical level of ability and their understanding have made a summary. It is inevitable to make choices and choices. Therefore, we feel that that moment is the important moment of life presented in photography, because it condenses the most complex connotations in the shortest moment. Therefore, for the contradiction that the main body of the work is greater than the main body, I think it is an unsolvable contradiction. Unless the form of artistic presentation is adjusted from the beginning, this problem cannot be avoided! When it comes to photography and film, I have never considered them to be the same type of art. In fact, I pay much attention to distinguishing the two. I think that photography cannot truly capture the important process of the continuous movement of life, but film may be closer because Electricity Film can be used as an overall product of images, and photography must be a fragmented product. Only a very great director can realize the continuity of photography into images from the technical level and the director’s artistic level. This is my continuous distinction between photography and video. A way to give the two things that seem to be unified but are essentially different results. I think this work has no images, only photography, but I think that if the narration and the photographer can be removed, it may be constituted by the photographer’s work. The image is to make these photographic works form a whole. I think this may be possible only by the more powerful masters of the last century, and use this material to create a greater artistic result, because this has already jumped out of the vision of photography, and also jumped out of it. The limitation of content leads to the possibility of a higher art form. There is another thing I criticize about this work, which is its intuitive compassion, repeated compassion, and grand compassion. I think this compassion is somewhat overused, no matter how much it wants to remind the audience or shock the audience through the work, repeat It’s not the best way. I can say that I watched a master photography class, but I don’t think it is the best way to express a film or documentary. When the script cannot cover the connotation of the form, I think it is inevitable. There is an imbalance, so the contradiction is that the deeper its artistic connotation, the more problems it has. This reminds me of the "Yangtze River Map" I watched last year. I think it is a problem, even at a higher level. I think Bellatar's art form is also somewhat larger than the content. This imbalance is also very obvious in great directors! Despite this, it is still an important work with high universal value. This era of compassion and care is becoming more and more scarce, especially for the younger generation. From the perspective of the group, the group form determined by a social form It is becoming more and more difficult for individuals to sympathize with and care for those who cannot please their lives. Why contemporary people are becoming more and more selfish? I think it is a lack of sound personality education. Therefore, the more scarce, the more valuable! 85 points for the video, 75 points for the script, 85 points for the director, 90 points for the performance, 90 points for the performance of the documentary, I will analyze the artistic value of the characters in the work more. 90 points for innovation, 85 points for works, content coefficient 0.9, 77 points for film history

    First of all, I have to complain that the erhu-like ghost sound of the soundtrack suddenly came up with several meanings, which is too inconsistent. I also fell asleep several times. This film is about photography. Photography is an art of silence, showing things silently in pictures, but the large number of photography works and the silence almost made me give up. Undoubtedly, those photos are unbelievably beautiful, and the photographer's feelings are also worthy of admiration. In the end, the actions of the Sebastian family were used to achieve the purpose of enlightenment.

    What impressed me deeply was not only Salgado's photographic works, but also every story he slowly told me, watching him record the cruelest pictures on the planet after ten years. How much calamity did the soul endure before it would say "human cruelty makes us unworthy to live"? Fortunately, he was reborn in another dimension. It’s also a photographer’s documentary, this one is really much better than Vivienne Meyer’s

The Salt of the Earth quotes

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
