When it comes to nature documentaries, I am afraid that the first thing you think of is BBC. Z3z
has always been known for its extraordinary charm and stunning world, leading the audience to explore the magic and greatness of natural life.
previously produced two documentaries jointly with Tencent,
one is "Pulsation of the Earth 2" and the other is "Blue Planet 2,"
can be said that these two documentaries have created global ratings, Douban The score has reached 9.9 points historically. When
first saw "Blue Planet 2",
went from the snow-covered polar seas to the coral islands and reefs with changeable colors; from the storm-ravaged Atlantic Ocean to the dark seabed of strange species. Or tears in the eyes, , the most authentic side of the ocean world, slowly unfolded.
After coming to "Pulsation of the Earth 2",
went from the magnificence and humbleness of the boundless world to the tenacity and fragility of the world of life; from the mystery and unpredictability of all things in the world to the breadth and inhumanity of the laws of nature,
or bizarre, or bizarre Wide open, or reach people's hearts, earth frame after frame of exquisite pictures , then slowly spread out.
Now, the BBC has once again joined hands with Tencent. Not long ago, it launched the latest nature documentary giant:
"Dynasties" (Dynasties).
still did not disappoint the audience, with a Douban score of 9.7 points.
The whole documentary has 5 episodes, but it took 4 years to shoot and produce.
mainly tells the "dynasty change" , the most iconic animal group in nature, and records the ups and downs of their family destiny.
Each episode selects one animal as the protagonist:
the polar wilderness of Antarctica, the emperor penguin under the aurora; the Kenyan Masai Mara savannah, the lion in the morning;
Africa, Zimbabwe, on the flood plains of the Zambezi River in the twilight Hyenas; Tigers at night in the Bandagar jungle, India, and Chimpanzees in Senegal.
Every animal has a king -like aura,
leads you to this world full of power struggles, family betrayals, rise and fall, and uncover the secrets hidden in the animal community.
Open this documentary, you will find that everything that happens here is far more dramatic than any novel,
in which sharp, intense, climax conflicts, and twists and turns, fascinating storyline,
is even more of an animal version. "Game of Thrones".
As the story unfolds, we can not only witness the warmth and cruelty among animals, and feel their fighting spirit burst out in the face of opponents’ challenges,
will also appreciate that they are facing their brothers and daughters. The sadness of the family struggle.
The first episode of "Dynasty",
, the chief of the chimpanzee family on the border of the Sahara Desert in Senegal, West Africa,
.The living is the king, and the natural law of appears.
As the leader of the ethnic group, the former king of , David,
has an innate king style, scars on the ears, and numerous wounds on the body, all showing the bravery of the wounds in the duel.
David began to challenge the throne since his adolescence. Despite many failures,
still stood up again and eventually defeated the leader of the previous generation and became the king of the new generation. Z3z
is the king of the new generation. In the past few years of dominance, they have enjoyed the supreme rights of the orangutans. With the help of punching and kicking,
has defeated all the competitors who coveted the throne.
is the same as that of humans. In their social relations , also has unpredictable complexity.
originally had a slightly peaceful life because of the advent of the dry season in the jungle, which was suddenly broken,
because of resources Becoming scarce, every orangutan wants to have sufficient food and water, as well as priority reproductive power,
, so the political power of this ethnic group began to become more turbulent.
The few orangutans who once looked forward to the position of the leader, did not change their wolf ambitions,
began to move around, attempting to usurp the throne, and the leader among them was Luther,
z, not only was Luthor very young, but also very popular. Strategically and courageously,
took advantage of David's unpreparedness to unite the apes and attack it by surprise. This was Luther's plan for a long time.
fierce battle started, the flying dust clamored in the wind, after a few rounds, the elderly David, it was difficult to score a ten, the
victors won a big victory, so complacent, so redistributed the ethnic group The female orangutans began to search for new water and food,
only left David, who was dying and fell to the ground,
had his toe torn off, his flesh was bloody, and his body was ripped apart. The former king was lost. The style of I.
When all the orangutans leave it, David lying underground, is like an old man who has died soon, lonely and helpless, weak in breath, old and weak, scarred,
has too many eyes soaked People can't bear to find out about the past.
This time, in terms of shooting techniques, the BBC has also changed its previous grand and magnificent style, using more handheld follow-up, close-focus shooting,
benefited from this kind of close-up lens of the movie, David and other animals The expression was captured very well,
Just when everyone was worried that the former king would fall, the camera turned and David slowly got up from the ground. Obviously it will not give up easily, and the firm eyes of
seem to indicate its determination to regain the throne.
The horn of the battle has been sounded. This war will continue, and the next battle will come. Where
has the right, the war will never stop. Z14z
is for humans or orangutans! When filming
, the documentary's executive producer Mike Gunton once said:
"We have no idea who will win in this group, who will die in the end, and who will survive. This is what it is. The charm."
is like watching "Game of Thrones" , you will also be in the exquisite and perilous world,
and you will never know what kind of experience the protagonist in the story will experience in the next second. The protagonists in the
documentary also have a fast-changing fate. The dangers of
not only come from the enemies who look at you, but also from the same kind of deliberately. However, neither external struggle nor internal conflict is the biggest challenge.
Mr. Mike Gunton said bluntly:
"All these animals are endangered, they face in their own lives, in addition to natural challenges, there are human challenges to them."
in the case of orangutans Due to the development of the local mining industry, the habitat is being destroyed day by day, breeding a large number of poachers,
in the past 25 years, West African chimpanzees have disappeared 80%,
and the number of Senegal chimpanzees, but survived Several hundred.
"Father of the World Documentary" Sir David Attenborough, still serves as the narrator of this documentary,
, who is in his nineties, has been emphasizing:
"We still know too little about nature. It It deserves better understanding and respect. And we are not in awe because we know nothing about them." From this perspective, the BBC's nature documentary still has a profound vigilance.
For this "Dynasty", the producer said in an interview:
"This is a turning point in our natural history documentary, because the perspective and content of the filming are very different."
"If the shooting plan succeeds, finally with The audience met, will be a real Shakespearean drama ."
It was introduced in the previous article: the film not only captures the micro expressions of the animal protagonist through a large number of short-focus lenses,
, but also uses cinematic character settings and soundtracks. , Trying to show the dramatic nature of the animal world.
For the audience, this seems to be a good thing, because the dramatic tension is obviously more able to attract attention,
, but vaguely, reveals a little bit of worry, after all,
, after all, the dramatic effect of Shakespeare is a rare encounter in a century. .
is a documentary. We call it a documentary because it uses real life as the creative material and real people and things as the object of expression. Although
can enhance the fidelity and artistic sense of the work through artistic means, You cannot choose and tailor it casually. The core of the
documentary is based on reality. If you forcibly exaggerate or fabricate the facts, it will undoubtedly mislead the public to a certain extent. If
is like the previous BBC "tree house" , in order to create a spectacle, the other party is required to climb a very high tree. Honey,
or synthetic grafting, I'm afraid it is a bit unreasonable.
hopes that this "Dynasty" will allow viewers to see the BBC's initial aspiration slowly returning,
instead of being marketed or commercialized homogenous, blindly eye-catching pseudo documentary!
