[The evolution of higher animals and people, the awakening of consciousness at a certain level. The picture goes something like this: The world is dark despite the ether vibrating everywhere. But one day when people open their eyes and see, there is light. The passage first describes a picture. What will happen to the picture, how it can be used, remains bleak. But to understand the meaning of this passage, it is obvious that its usage must be explored. But the picture seems to save us the job: it already points to a certain usage. We therefore fell for it. ] - LW ​​"Philosophical Research" [Actually, the effort that nature spends on making eyes is no more troublesome than my every move. ] ——Bergson "Creation Evolution" Unfortunately, Malick's film did not work for me, but I can still feel where the director is aiming, so let's talk about it. It has a "National Geographic" visual style that some people love and others despise. I don't despise it, but I also feel that this style is easy to lead people astray. This desperately overpowered vision is extremely clear, comprehensive, and objective, but lacks human sensibility. It is a scientific drawing style. And after decades of education in the age of images, it has long since worn off its freshness and reduced to a scientific magazine illustration. As an artist, it seems to be a loss of duty to be unable to provide fresh sensibilities and to only focus on one's own intentions. Some people say that this film is a reenactment of the theory of evolution, a scientific epic, which is a misunderstanding, although the director himself should be held responsible for this misunderstanding.

At least the video is magnificent and the logic is clear. The main point is It's really not necessarily showing off any anti-human design if it is filmed by Godard or the like... This special code needs to write a love letter for time! The cuts of several recorded images are quite extreme (there are actually many scenes of the celestial dynasty), "Everything in the world is natural, and human beings are also natural, but in modern society... no, that thing has nothing to do with time, it is purely superfluous..." , the old man is radical enough!

    Malik's documentary is also so otherworldly, continuing the previous style, the film is full of poetry and philosophy. The images are still exquisite and beautiful. From the origin of life to all kinds of frost, from the ancient times to the vast universe, 90 minutes is all-encompassing, just like Nick Nolte said: Malick's brain is infinite. It is currently the best film in the post-"Tree of Life" period. After all, such as Tiandi Xuanhuang, Malik is more suitable.
