Mi Lima will not miss any good documentary. Do you still remember the documentary "Become You" recommended to you not long ago: "This 8.9-point documentary tells you that children have the potential as powerful as superman, it depends on how you inspire them." The cases in
teach us to let go of our hands and let our children explore the world bravely. In the film, babies from all over the world are stimulated with great potential.
A three-year-old girl in Bayao Village in Borneo learned to swim by herself, and a three-year-old boy in Japan was kicked out by his father and bought sushi for the first time... The children's potential is far beyond our imagination, just like the little animals in this film today.
This film does not talk about human cubs, but about animals living in mountains and polar regions. These animals try their best to survive in extremely harsh environments so that they can gain the life resources they need to survive.
This film is " Dirty Planet ", directed by Bell Griers . Beiye Everyone knows it? His "Survival Series" is very famous.
This film is a documentary masterpiece jointly produced by National Geographic and Belle for three years.
I have to say that the production team of this film is indeed very strong. The executive producers are Guillermo Navarro who has won the Oscars and Martha Holmes, the winner of the Emmy Awards. The host Bei Ye doesn’t need Mi Li’s mother to say more, the man with the strongest survivability on the surface.
may encounter extremely dangerous situations at any time during shooting: falling off a cliff of 100 meters, a real avalanche scene, a sudden wildfire or tornado, a brutal close-killing fight, and even facing death!
The wild animal documentary he shot this time was also quite shocking. The documentary is divided into six episodes and takes us into the deepest, highest, coldest, hottest, wettest and driest natural habitats on Earth to learn how the animals there survive and reproduce through adverse environmental factors.
There are dangers in nature, and the challenge for animals is simple: adapt or die.
The cubs face huge survival tests when they are born, and they don’t have time to wait for them to grow slowly. However, with their tenacious will to survive, the small animals are still alive in extreme environments.
Toddler between life and death
In the Jameson land of Antarctic Circle , the family of White-cheeked black goose has experienced a series of tests of climate warming and finally has three little babies. To avoid predators, they built their nests at the top of the 120-meter-high peak column.
incubation period is safe, but this brings new problems. The green grass where white-cheeked geese are foraging is by the river in the distance. The young birds must eat within 3 days. The little guys can't fly and can't go with their mothers.
So how can I bring the chicks to the river? There is nothing to do.
The cruelty of survival came to these little guys so unexpectedly.
They must jump from the top of the stone pillar more than 100 meters high when they were just 3 days old and could not fly at all. At the same time, they avoid the impact of rocks, try to wield their small wings to maintain balance, and land on the snow as much as possible.
Under the dual test of cliffs and predators, only 50% of the chicks can survive smoothly until the full moon. The chicks dived down and fell heavily on the rock wall. I felt so distressed when I saw them.
At this time, I am really glad to be born as a human being. Every child is encouraged and protected by his parents when he is toddler. He is afraid that he will break it when he falls. It is super great not to cry.
But for white-cheeked bananas, there is only one chance to learn to test flights.
Human cubs are indeed much luck compared to small animals in extreme environments.But in fact, children also face various survival difficulties and challenges, but they only have different degrees and forms.
Many times, children appear to be not brave enough because they know that they have a way out and that they will feel distressed when they know that they have a way out.
But the chicks have no way out. If they don’t learn to fly, they will be dead.
This is actually the best reverse quotient education. From the moment every child is born, he actually has to learn various skills to face the world alone, which is no different from chicks.
Survival has never been an easy task
At the mountains and polar regions, there are strict food chain systems. Birds like White-cheeked Broncos are not at the top of the food chain, and their fate seems particularly difficult. This is not the case with
. No matter which layer of the food chain is located, it is very difficult to survive. There has always been a very hungry snow leopard in the film. It is searching for its prey in the heavy snow, and if it doesn't eat it, it will starve to death.
In the snow and ice of the Himalayas , the snow leopard, known for its agility, can only eat a full meal a week.
This snow leopard carefully shuttled across the rock wall, patrolling its territory of more than 200 square kilometers, and finding food with difficulty.
In order to hunt antelope , it really fought for its life. After patience, he suddenly bit his prey and fell down from a rock wall that was dozens of meters high and did not let go.
Seeing it falling from a high place so violently, it didn't die, and at the same time it had to bite the prey. It fell too hard and loosened the mouth. It immediately rolled and bit it again. It was so tough. Mi Li's mother was really respectful! On the other side of
, on the Norwegian peaks hit by blizzards, a male golden eagle is competing with a group of crows for carrion.
Another female golden eagle also fell in love with the same piece of carrion. After a desperate battle, the female golden eagle finally occupied the carrion. But the piece of carrion won't last long after the struggle for life.
Snow leopards and golden eagles should be considered animals at the top of the food chain. But they are still trying their best to occupy the resources of survival.
Do you still remember the documentary "The Way Out" recommended by Mi Lima? There are three children from different families. Some come from mountainous areas, and some come from families with financial freedom: "Three Lifes of Three Children in 6 Years: Children without umbrellas really have to learn to run hard."
They are like white-cheeked black goose birds in the food chain, snow leopards and golden eagles. No matter where they are in the entire system, they still have to try their best to survive.
Life is like a temple, just like the mountains and polar regions in this extreme environment. Jackals, tigers, leopards, wind, frost, rain and snow are all things that every child and everyone must face.
has the ability to forage, arm yourself, and allow yourself to fight bravely in the living environment. No one can help with this, they can only rely on themselves.
The more magnificent the scenery is in the desperate situation, the more harsh the conditions for survival are. Just like our human society, although it is rich and colorful and fun, who is not climbing hard for survival?
Mi Li Mo thinks this film is really inspiring. It is not just a wild animal documentary film. The educational significance it conveys is very obvious and children can understand it.
I believe that tomorrow will be better
Beiye explained in the film:
" All life must have strong adaptability and firm determination. Not only that, they must also have confidence and believe that tomorrow will become better. "
Mi Li Mother also feels that in this film, what I see is the belief of animals to survive.
Maybe animals don’t have that much thought, after all, I am not an animal “ roundworm in the belly”. But I believe that their wisdom and courage should not be underestimated.
Do you still remember "The Elephant Queen" written by Mi Lima before: "Tears! This documentary that makes straight men's mili cry must be arranged during the winter vacation! 》The family concepts, joys, sorrows, and even their various emotions are really very sound and very contagious.
And these animals in the polar regions must have experienced inner timidity and fear when facing various extreme challenges and still moving forward bravely.
Because global warming , walrus lost the sea ice on which it relies, and had to go to the land to compete for survival space; a large amount of water resources were intercepted by humans, and elephant herds and hippopotamus had to go further to find the waters;
rain The orangutan in the forest has lost the forest map that I finally remembered; the American cows that used to have as many as 60 million now only have about 1,000 left...
The team's Emperor Penguin was caught by the seal. The friends watched it look solo and were chased by the seal, but they were powerless.
The seal caught the little penguin but refused to eat it. After playing with its prey for a long time, it scared the prey to death and released the little penguin again.
The ecology of animals is complex and full of emotions, but what remains unchanged is their confidence to survive and believe that they can still survive tomorrow.
Mi Li's mother thought of a sentence: True heroism is to still love life after realizing the truth of life. The animals recorded in this film interpret this point.
Before, Mili School held several special parent-teacher meetings on mental health. The teacher talked about many cases, saying that the children in the case were not capable of resisting setbacks and often collapsed and found short-term opinions.
But after watching the survival process of these wild animal cubs, you will find how tough the child is when he moves forward independently without the attention of adults!
All the will to survive, the desire to obtain resources, and the belief that they can still survive tomorrow need to experience and polish it themselves, and no one can do it for them.
Watching process is definitely a pleasure.
Mimi thinks that perhaps watching such an animal documentary would be more useful than taking several mental health classes.
Because strong will originally require harsh reality to inspire, children in the greenhouse also need to see some survival reality to gain inspiration and guidance.
Perhaps in the future, a setback or a hurdle that cannot be understood, we only need to remind the child: think about the snow leopard, think about the chick... The child can instantly recover his vitality and continue to fight.
After all, isn’t education subtly sent to children in every documentary that implies our tricks?
