地球之盐:The Salt of the Earth

记录片的开头用希腊语讲了photographer这个词的时候,就知道会很喜欢这部纪录片。

塞巴斯蒂安的经历让我想起了毛姆的《月亮与六便士》里以高更为形象的主角,敢于放弃所拥有的一切重新开始的人,他们的魄力就已经让他们成功了一半。

几个重要的主题(懒得写,直接摘)

“Workers finally united the economist Sebastian and the artist he had become. The pictures appeared in most of the great magazines, the exhibition travelled all over the world and the book came out in many languages. ”

“But Sebastian and Lilia wouldn’t rest, they immediately started to work on another major phase of his photography. They realized that one of the burning subjects of our times was the displacement of entire populations by wars, famines and the roles of global market place. So while Europe was starting to close its borders, Sebastian was trying to shed a light on the fates of the outcast. Again, he and Lilia did all the research and planning together, and again she was the driving force behind this new chapter in their lives which they called Exodus. ”

“Sebastian had seen into the heart of darkness. He deeply questioned his work as a social photographer and witness of the human condition. What was left for him to do after Rwanda? ”

死亡的主题太沉重我无法提及,但生的喜悦还是可以说说的。很多场景特别打动人。比如Sebastian抱着自己种的树欣喜得不行,说再过30年能长到这么粗的时候那个骄傲的表情就像在谈论自己的孩子。回到住处后给人看刚发芽的小树苗,都没小豆芽大,说这些树能长到40米高,能活四五百年的时候,真的让人感到生命的神奇力量啊。

这个关于奇迹的故事治好了Sebastian在非洲所经历的绝望,得以继续进行自己摄影师的事业。从人文摄影师到风光摄影师的转变为Sebastian打开了新世界的大门。“我想去理解达尔文的那一套,同样的生物,在不同的生态系统里,进化状态也大有不同。看到这是蜥蜴爪子细节的时候,我忍不住想到,中世纪骑士的手,他们用金属鳞片保护自己。 ”

“Genesis took Sebastian around the globe once more for almost a decade. And he’s gonna show us nature, animals, places and peoples that were like the beginning of time, and a much more optimistic view of the same planet that Sebastian had witnessed for so long has damaged and destroyed. Genesis was gonna be their ??, a love letter to the planet. ”

“这片土地对我来说太重要了,我们形成了这片土地的循环。在这个循环里,我们度过了一生,我父母的一生,我姐妹的一生,我的大部分人生。今天,我们又一次在这里生活,莉莉娅和我。这片土地一直在述说着我们的故事,它见证了我的童年时代,陪伴着我的老年时光。当我死去的时候,这片森林将回复我出生时的状态,整个循环圆满了,这就是我一生的故事。”
