INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
这种老人+动物+小男孩成长的中成本制作在十年前还是迪士尼最拿手的题材，而如今却只有东木能拍得出来了。相较10年代后期的几部片，本片对于东木来说确实算是信手拈来的小品，但依然温柔如故
哥特主题电影最后变成巨型八爪鱼大战异型大公鸡，编剧实在是太弱智，照着原来的真人版重拍一遍动画都比这强
后面有些无聊了 // Christmas movie marathon
作为演员肉身的东木，作为活跃银幕半个世纪的角色形象之总和的东木，和作为本片导演和主演的东木，如此之多的印记挤压在了同一具苍老的身躯之中，观众无法从过往的观影经验中完全剔除所有关于他的印象，他当然也不能。在这种情况下，“迟缓”和“愚钝”似乎是一种状态的必须，似乎只有通过这样才能触碰到某些真实的东西，但我说不清楚那是什么。
年过九旬的伊斯特伍德宝刀不老，继续延续着他的牛仔传奇，既执导，也亲自出演。此次的战场是在墨西哥，虽然也涉及到犯罪与追击，却是一老一少的温馨故事。影片探讨了男子汉气概这个词，这也是伊氏以前影片的重点，是西部片的主要价值观及最大卖点，在此片中则予以否定。善良、信任与家庭，才是强调的重点。影片中表现最出彩的，就是那只名叫男子汉（马乔）的斗鸡，它每次的突然出场，都成为转折点，并让观众忍俊不禁。片名不知为何如此翻译？
【3.0】除却柔情再无其他，拍到这部东木已经没有任何的表达欲了。
本片是克林特伊斯特伍德罕見的失手之作，從情節設置來看，有點像老年版本《完美的世界》，並利用伊斯特伍德的過氣牛仔身份，試圖營造一種英雄遲暮，捲土重來的現象。只是該片根據七十年代的小說改編，已經不存在太多新意，而伊斯特伍德的導演手法也未能彌補如此蒼白的流水賬式敘事，甚至有一種無力感。而且伊斯特伍德一如既往輸出自己的雄性魅力，讓人不禁懷疑此片僅僅只是為了滿足他的那種大男人式自戀情懷而拍攝的。
东木拍一部少一部了，真不该把精力浪费在这样平庸的项目上，与《骡子》和《理查德朱维尔的哀歌》相比创作力是断崖式的下滑。但一些片段还挺感人的，“我不知道怎么治愈老”，“男子气概被高估了，它没什么了不起的”。
美墨边境风光养眼，东木老爷看起来身体状态也不错，就是剧作没有最大化利用好创意，太过依赖对白而缺少画面的动态；情节的设计也缺点意思，比如那只公鸡原本可以更多参与到故事中来。
合家欢电影，人物刻画更多的吃设定。没看过前作的话不太友好，会一头雾水。不过，作为轻松愉快的电影观看体验还算及格。
一直期待着劲爆场面，但通篇最暴力的竟然是一只鸡，哈哈。老头岁数大，不易，不知道怀抱大妞的时候，还有感觉吗。
毫无亮点的公路片，不如骡子的意义，但是八十多还能导和演真的NB了
跟第一集问题一样，细节还成，但主线还是太不爱登士家庭了，
公路美景，半路艳遇，治愈且温暖，东木老爷子用自己的镜头和台词来表达他想对观众说的话。真的是老当益壮，91岁高龄。真正把生命献给电影的人
令人失望。
好无聊
和第一部比起来还是无聊了点，大概习惯了无非就是正常人说的话他们都颠倒罢了，也就没什么新奇的了。不过也没很差。中庸吧。
比起第一部确实更合家欢，但是是喜欢的。
可以说是精灵旅社+小黄人了，温馨的家庭喜剧
