recently made a documentary without any filters and without a strong plot setting.

There are almost only two people in the whole movie, one man and one woman, and the rest are various volcanoes.

Static volcanoes, erupting volcanoes, and various volcanoes.

thought it would be extremely boring. Unexpectedly, because of its authenticity, it shocked tens of thousands of viewers and won a high score of 9.0 on Douban.

What is the magic of this documentary? Let’s talk about it today -

"Volcano Love"

In France, there was a girl who was different from others since she was a child.

When he was a child, he was sent to a school for rebellious girls because he was too naughty.

Obviously the effect of this school's "correction" was not very good. After she came out, she still acted in her own way.

Other girls like flowers and plants, but she prefers climbing mountains. What she climbs is not an ordinary mountain, but an erupting volcano.

Katia’s special hobby, let alone her country, probably not many people in the world are like her.

At that time, there were 350 volcanologists in the world, only 50 of whom studied eruptive volcanoes.

For Katya, finding a right person with similar interests is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Coincidentally, such a small chance actually happened to her.

Morris has loved the earth and dinosaurs since he was a child.

fell in love with volcanoes when he climbed a volcano with his family when he was seven years old.

met Katya, it was like fate.

Two "others" in the eyes of others have become extremely precious kindred spirits in each other's eyes.

Katia and Maurice hit it off.

They are all disappointed with human nature. Just like the first generation of social terror, they don't like to deal with people and simply throw themselves into the embrace of volcanoes.

Even the place for honeymoon was chosen on the volcanic island of Santorini.

After getting married, Katia and Maurice decided not to have children, just to devote all their lives to the volcano.

It can be seen that the couple really loves volcanoes.

We may think that there is nothing good about volcanoes, they are bare and pitch black.

If you encounter an active volcano, it will be filled with the smell of sulfur , and you may even lose your life.

But when you see the appearance of the volcano through their camera, I believe you will also be shocked by the magnificence of the volcano.

There is a deep and quiet tension in the volcano.

People look so immature and insignificant in front of the volcano.

seems to be just a drop in the ocean.

Katia and Morris created their own little romance while admiring the beauty of the volcano.

For example, using the high temperature of rocks to fry eggs;

For example, arranging the stones on the volcano to look like Christmas trees;

Or capturing the vibrant grass in the scorched rocks.

Compared to Morris, Katya will be more emotional.

She is interested in everything in the volcano.

Sometimes, she would listen to the sound of the rocks with interest;

Sometimes she would hold the squirrel on her lap and watch it patiently chew.

During the journey, Katya's expectation and excitement can be seen even if she is disgraced.

But in fact, all this is not as easy as we see. Every time we approach a volcano, we are approaching danger.

Once on the way to a volcano, the car alone broke down 27 times and was finally crashed.

Not only that, Morris also fell into hot water once.

Therefore, injuries have become a common occurrence for them.

For example, if a leg is burned by mud at 140 degrees, the skin will fall off the body like an onion.

Sometimes in order to get closer to the crater, Katya and Morris had to descend 300 meters along the top of the mountain on a rope. What is the concept of

00 meters?

According to 3 meters per floor, 300 meters is close to the height of a 100-story building.

is so difficult that it seems so easy in front of them that it is not worth mentioning.

You can imagine what kind of tests they usually face.

Also on this volcano, when they were close to the magma , the magma suddenly flowed ten meters down in a few seconds.

They were so close to the hot volcano, but they still chose to stay.

Because curiosity defeated the desire to survive.

But Morris knew that his love and boldness would kill him sooner or later.

But there was no way. The couple didn't want to and couldn't control their curiosity.

always subconsciously wants to get closer to the volcano, even closer.

Katya's face is always filled with a smile of freedom.

She is dressed simply, without makeup, and there are still some wrinkles and plateau red on her face, but you can clearly see her happiness.

You will find that a person can be so happy doing something he likes.

If we say that the second uncle who cured the mental internal friction is teaching people to smile in the face of suffering.

Then this couple gave another way to solve the mental internal friction. That is to be decisive, without being pretentious or entangled.

If you like it, do it. If you like volcanoes, then become a volcanologist.

If you have money, go climb a volcano. If you don’t have money, don’t blame others and find ways to start a side business.

To make money, Katya will write books about volcanoes.

Morris went around giving lectures and made a video of their experiences on the volcano.

The couple appeared on some talk shows as a result.

then used the money he earned to continue studying volcanoes.

The life path of the couple is clear, that is, they are constantly chasing volcanoes.

When the volcano erupted, others rushed to escape, but Katia and Maurice went against the trend.

The consequence of doing this is that you will face death at any time.

Their friend died in the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the deadliest eruption in American history, and no bones were left.

The couple had long been prepared for death.

Katia and Maurice put life and death aside early on.

However, the unexpected death of their friend greatly affected the couple, and they changed their research direction.

moves from the less lethal red volcano to the highly lethal "murderous volcano" ash volcano.

In 1985, Katia, Morris and other volcanologists predicted that a volcanic eruption would occur in the Colombian Andes and immediately issued a report recommending that the government organize the evacuation of local residents.

But the authorities refused because the cost was too high.

In the end, the mudflow after the volcanic eruption engulfed the village below in the middle of the night.

According to official statistics, 23,000 people died at that time, but the real death toll should only be much higher.

Katya was deeply touched by this incident. A disaster that was clearly avoidable, but because of the decision-making of the authorities, eventually turned into a disaster.

Katia began to think about the meaning of her role as a volcanologist.

The couple decided to use their expertise to provide professional science popularization and early warning to more people.

Since the paper report could not convince the authorities, they took videos of the victims and the volcano's damage to let the government see the consequences more intuitively.

Although Katya and Maurice could remain calm when facing the red volcano, they would also be afraid when the debris surge of the ash volcano was close at hand. The camera in their hands kept shaking, exposing their inner hesitation.

But after thinking about it, they still chose to stay where they were.

Fortunately, there were no casualties this time.

But good luck will not always come to them.

In 1991, when the Unzen volcano in Japan erupted, Katia and Maurice walked backwards among the fleeing people.

But this time, they were not lucky enough to come back alive.

Although the lives of Maurice and Katya were forced to stop.

But their contributions did not stop there.

Not long after the couple died, Pinatubo volcano erupted in the Philippines.

It was precisely because of their close-up volcano educational film that the authorities evacuated 58,000 people in time, saving thousands of lives.

Morris said that compared with a long but boring life, he was more eager to live a short and gorgeous life.

From the moment he devoted himself to volcano research, the couple anticipated their ending.

They were not surprised by their death.

What Katya and Morris didn't expect was that at first, because they didn't like mediocre people, they stayed away from the crowd and plunged into the volcano.

In the end, they sacrificed their lives to save people.

Teacher Luo Xiang once said that you must love specific people.

And these two couples are just the opposite. They don't love specific people, but they love human beings deeply.

Perhaps throughout their lives, Katia and Maurice's research on volcanoes is just the tip of the iceberg.

But precisely because they chose this sparsely populated path, every step of their research has an indelible significance to mankind.

Fortunately, there were people walking beside them every step of the way on this less traveled road.

As long as Morris turns around, he can see Katya's figure.

Katya said that she likes to walk behind Morris, because no matter where Morris goes, she can follow him head-on.

Okay, that’s all for today’s story.
