the other side of the world

If Vivian turned the camera on the poor or rich passers-by on the streets of Chicago.
So Salgado and his team focus on the poorest corners of the world, the groups that are ignored by the world. They live in the most primitive way, in the most humble way.

We lament the injustice of fate. This is how life is. Someone descended on rich Europe, ordinary Asia, and poor Africa.
I think that sometimes people limit themselves too small, so that they add a lot of troubles that are unhelpful to the growth of life for no reason. People magnify the pattern and understand that they need to be independent. Will feel guilty to frowning.

The main constraint in tropical regions is drought, which is mainly caused by the destruction of forests and lakes.

In our daily life, we must protect the environment and have the awareness of saving resources. Avoid all unnecessary waste. The starting point is that there are still many people in the world who do not have these resources and are suffering from poverty.

And learn more knowledge to understand the society and understand life in my lifetime.

    An excellent biography with an excellent director, full marks for the documentary. The simplest structure tells the story of Salgado's life. He chose photography and witnessed too much suffering in the world, so he returned to "Genesis" to capture the original agility and beauty. The ending further deepens Salgado's concept of environmental protection. Some things "know that they can't be done" can only be found to be "doable" when they are actually done. Finally, praise Wenders again!

    Soul cleansing, Salgado read all the sufferings and sorrows caused by human greed in the world, and finally chose to return to animals and nature. The story of his life has been seen in its entirety. Don't let those unfortunate incidents only settle into incidents. Don't let the sorrowful land dry up. In front of the photo at the moment of freezing, we shouldn't just remain speechless at that moment.

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.
