长篇影评
1 ) 制作人的初衷
"We want the Chinese to feel proud of their countryside and wildlife, to care about it and to seek to ensure its survival. We also hope to redress the negative view of China's environment propagated in western media."
– Series Producer Phil Chapman, writing in BBC Wildlife magazine

http://www.ukchinesemusic.com/Projects.html大意是:
我们想让中国人为自己的乡村和野外而感到自豪, 从而去关心他们和保护他们. 我们也希望能纠正西方媒体对中国环境的负面观点.
2 ) 手下留情,不要让美丽只在纪录片里
“最后的隐世净土,中国
数世纪以来,旅人传诵着关于这片神奇怪的土地
以及那些神奇的生物传说
中国文明是世界上最古老的文明
而如今天是最宏博的
那数十亿人民 五十多个民族
以各种各样贴近自然的生活方式
。。。那另人窒息的美。。。
我们第一次有机会深入探索这片伟大的土地
。。。这就是最原味的中国。。“
BBC 《Wild China》(《美丽中国》)
强烈推荐BBC的纪录片《美丽中国 Wild China》,一个以野生动物和自然界为主题的系列纪录片,一共六集,我已经看了四集,分别是广西、云南、西藏和长城以北(东北与西北),让我震撼!在BBC的镜头里,中国的大自然是那么的美丽动人!自豪感油然而生!
之前就已经看过BBC同系列的纪录片《野性南美洲 Wild South America》和《野性非洲 Wild Africa》,很为南美和非洲的自然魅力倾倒。而在我的印象中,中国的大自然在不断地被人类的活动侵蚀、破坏和毁灭。没想到祖国的山河依然有这么多这么美丽的地方,我们要手下留情,不要再让美丽只能在纪录片中找到!尤其让我这个汉人惭愧的是,前四集绝大部分的镜头都在非汉人的主要生活范围,第三集西藏中藏族人与自然的和谐相处,应该让我们这些对大自然缺乏敬畏的很多汉族人好好学习。

我觉得这部电影的成功之处主要就是在于它能够很好地抓住什么是美丽,“美丽中国”这个名字听起来很土,但是作为一个纪录片,他所要记录的便是它的名字。那么“美丽中国”到底美丽的是什么。我看完后发现,真正的美丽,真正的中国,便是我们乃至我们整个生物圈的生存与生活,换句话说,美丽所在之处便是生活,不仅仅是你我人类的生活,而是这个世界世间万物的生活。从一些我们不会去注意的微观世界,到关系着宇宙或者世界的宏观世界,这一切如果你去发现,这些都有它的美丽之处,有一句话说得好,山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵。任何的事物都有它的美丽之处。
4 ) 摘录其中对我有用的句子和词。
这部纪录片的确很出彩,还有几处是首次拍到的野生动物镜头,看得出摄制组下了大功夫。
这里摘录其中对我有用的句子和词,算是存档。哈哈哈。
the first episode of BBC wild china -- heart of dragon, tells us how the wild life in southern china and the local people live together in a harmony in this remarkable magic landscape.
50 distinct ethic groups, many of them live often in close partnership with nature.China is home to the wold's highest mountains, vast desert ranging from searing hot to mind-numbing cold. Steaming rainforest harbouring rare creatures. Grassy plains beneath vast horizons. And rich tropical seas.
the scenery of paddy in sourthern china is the recurring motif in chinese paintings. it is a landscape of hills and water.
in the plain of Yangzhi River, black-tailed godwits probe the mud in search of worms.
rice planting
The Chinese have been cultivating rice for at least 8000 years. In sourthern part of Yunnan, Yuanyang, numberous stacked terraces have been carved out by the local people using basic digging tools, and still gloughed with the help of domesticated water buffaloes. This rice terraces are one of the amazing engineering feats in China. It seems that each inch of land is impressed by cultivation.
The Chinese pond heron, a pitiless predator would prey for the male paddy frogs, while they are competing for the attention of the females.
As the heron can swallow one frag at one time, the vast majority will escape to croak another day.
With every inch of fertile land given over to rice cultivation, the Miao build their wooden houses on the steepest and least productive hillsides.
There is some surprising help at hand to predict the right time for rice planting -- the house swallow. Miao people believe the birds' arrival predicts the timing of the season ahead.
in china, many animals are valued as much for their symbolic meaning as for any good they may do.
We miao people believe that swallow pairs remain faithful for life. So their presence is a favour and a blessing bringing happiness to a marriage and good luck to a home.
for rice cultivation, first, the seedings must be prepared in the nursery beds for several weeks. and then at a ordained time in early spring, they ware uprooted from the nursery beds, bundled up and then transplanted into the paddies. In some areas, the rice paddies would also raise some kind of fish --gold carps. during the rest of the time, the paddies need to be irrgated, fertilized regularly, and when the rice need to be joggled when they blooms, so as to get better pollination. then, when the time for the harvest comes, the crops are cut down manually or by machine, and the korns would then be separated from the crops, which would finally turn into rice.
this vast area of China, the size of France and Spain combined is famous for its clusters of conical hills, the karst, a limestone terrain, which has become the defining image of southern China.
the people who live here are among the poorest in China.
over many thousands of years, water has corroded its way, deep into the heart of the bedrock itself.
the Chinese are fond of curiously-shaped rocks, many have been given fanciful names, no prizes for guessing what this one is called.
thousands of carvens are concealed beneath the visible landscape of the karst.
Fed by countless drips and trickles, the subterranean river carves deeper into the rock. But even a weakness in the rock can allow the river to increase its gradient and flow-rate, providing a real challenge for the cave explorers.
The downward rush is halted when the water table is reached. Here the slow-flowing river carves tunnels with a more rounded profile.
Stalactites form as trickling water deposites tiny quantities of rock over hundreds or thousands of years. Stalagmites grow up where lime-laden drips hit the cave floor.
The cave river's course is channeled by the beds of limestone.
these monkeys are spectacularly good rock climbers from the time they learn to walk.
then theses sociable swifts also give rich guano to the local farmers. And they never stray further than the limits of the daylight.
But bats are better equipped for subterranean life. They use ultrasonic squeaks to orientate themselves in the darkness. This mouse-eared bat specialises in catching fishes, tracking them down from the sound reflection of ripples on the water surface. Besides, they can also eat a slippery minnow fish with no hands while hanging upside down.
fisherman with their trained cormorants do the course on Li river. Before they release the birds, they tie a noose loosely around the neck of the cormorants. Underwater, the hunting instinct of cormorants kicks in, turning them into fish-seeking missiles.
In Caohai Lake, the fishermen single out the some kind of bugs --the young stage of gragonflies, the predators that feed on worms and tadpoles.
The soft-shelled turtle in one temple is said to be 400 years old, which is vanishingly rare.
Zhangjiajie, is one of the China's reserves, to proetct these nearly-extinct animals,such as giant salamander, known as the baby fish.
Anhui gets the ancestral home of China's largest and rarest reptile, a creature of mystery and legend.
In Huangshan, the Huangshan pines eptomise the strength and resilience of nature, some of these trees are thought to be over 1000 years old. Below these granite peaks, steep forested valleys shelter surprising inhabitants, Huangshan macaques. These are quite social animals, who do a lot of grooming. They would shout and cry to warn the whole group whenever the Chinese moccasin, which is an ambush predator with a deadly bite is spotted
the time has come to bring in the harvest. These high-yield strain, boosted(滋养) by chemical fertilizers and reaped(收割) by combined harvesters.
in the terraces area in Zhejiang, people raise carps in the paddies. the beauty of this farming method is that it delivers two crops from the same filed at the same time, fish and rice.
by november, the northern china is becoming distinctly chilly, but the south is still relatively warm and welcoming. The Poyang reserve offers winter refuge for a quarter of a million birds from 100 species, creating one of southern China's finest wildlife experiences.
The siberian crane, known in china as the white crane, is seen as a symbol of good luck. These animals face the pressure from exploitation and competition with people over space and resources.
If China is living proof of anything, it is that the wildlife is surprisingly resilient. The rarest creature can return from the brink given the right help.
We show the will, nature will find the way
To the Chinese, the Tundra swans symbolise the essence of natural beauty. A
Chanting and dancing, 吟歌起舞
Nature is red in beak and claw 自然总是在喙与爪中变得血腥。
in Chinese rural life, everything has a use.
As evening approaches, an age-old ritual unfolds.当夜幕降临,一场古老的的仪式上演。
It does not always pay to draw too much attention to yourself. 吸引太多的注意并不一定能带来好的效果。
the hills slopes plunge 2000 meters to the floor of the Red River valley. plunge 是指插入, 但是这里是指山插入谷底。
Many hands make light work.
人多力量大
there is more to this landscape than meets the eye
但是百闻不如置身这片山地亲身一见
exploring a cave is like taking a journey through time, a journey which endless raindrops will have followed over countless centuries.

5 ) 终于把Wild China下好了Orz一共13G……
硬盘君你辛苦了~速度很慢,好难下,但是为了高清的美美的中国,一切都值了
但是里面有些东西太扯了。说什么汉族是因为害怕骁勇的蒙古族才建造的长城……开始建长城的时候蒙古族还不存在好不好!还假惺惺地说西藏成为中国的一个省已经50多年了,其实这话也不算错,但却让人误以为西藏在历史上与中华是无关的。如此等等,就是用来恶心人的。好在咱中国够美,让我能忍得住。
冰雕这一段我好喜欢!>_<拍得非常有活力!
破字幕组,熊猫就熊猫,写猫熊干啥啊!
Wild China其实是一部关于中国的食品记录片……看得我馋死了,野外有好多好吃的!(¯﹃¯)
Wild China里说中国人爱吃野味,但是政府不让非法捕猎,所以商家就去其他国家买,导致其他国家的野生动物减少……这也赖兔子啊?!不保护动物你们也说,保护动物你们也说,兔子真是擅长以各种姿势中枪。
6 ) 惊艳中国
惊艳。
BBC和CTV中视联合摄制的《美丽中国》经得起这样的礼赞。
本片半年前正式播出后,终于有机会感受它带来的震撼。高速镜头下的中国大地是如此壮丽迷人,恢宏镜头下南中国乡村生活纯朴淡定。六集虽然才看过两集,我已经无法不怀疑我是否了解这个伟大文明的人文地理。中国文明起源于乡村,也在乡村中形成大势臻于成熟,既为乡民,必对其周围山川河流,花草果木在数千年历史绵延中形成独特的知识和感悟,而却不为今人所道,则文明也必为衰落。现代社会城市化急速突进下给原始生态环境造成了几乎致命的损害,遑论仰赖于此的农耕文化;如今欲望让我们对自然的索取疯狂地深入地下,强力释放存于其中数百万年的二氧化碳,慢慢改变这个星球的气候和这个国家残存的秀美身姿。
一个细节:怒江边的人们依铁索渡江展露了自然的尖锐锋芒,也剥开了贫穷落后的外衣,文化相对主义可能并不认为这是落后,只是一种独特的生活方式,情感上却无法不向他们为这样坚强智慧辛酸的生活献上深深敬意——历经百年却还未架起一座桥。人和自然可以相处,但一定充满了暴力,无论多么美丽的自然也需要为人类至高无上的生命权让路(生命的价格此处不表),从文明开化到现代化,人与自然的链条越绷越紧,即使偏远如怒江也应当且必须为人类让路,保持微妙的平衡。
“国人都应对本国史存一份温情与敬意”,我们也应对上苍给予中国文明繁衍发展千年的壮阔大地饱含深情和充满敬畏,去认识这片大地上的独特风情和奇巧生物,至少可以了解到这个环境污染十分严重的国度仍然保有脆弱但令人窒息的美丽,为我们的乡村骄傲,为我们的环境改善做出最少一点点的努力。就此向BBC致敬。
英国人比中国人还热心,好像再不拍下这些镜头以后就看不到了...唉
题材选得好,机位摆的好,镜头剪切的好,音乐配的好,解说也不错。
每一个镜头都美轮美奂、每一帧画面都叹为观止!具有中国韵味的配乐令人心情澎湃不已…
古时候中国人信万物有灵,敬天敬地敬山敬水敬万物,而如今身处这样的锦绣山河中,多数人自豪,少数人自省,国人如今的德行是否配得起这山河。
俺姥姥也稀饭
跟行星地球比逊色点,但还是很赞的,足以让国人为之自豪。片子强调中华文化中的和谐,提醒了我们熟视无睹而漠然视之的价值,其对人文的重视让人汗颜~
只缘身在此山中?
里面有我美丽的家乡,封面就有,哈哈哈哈
百看不厌
无处可扣分
发现美,也发现人和自然的和谐与冲突。
当我们每天沉浸在微博关于这个国度与日俱增的负能量,越来越想要移民的时候。来看看这部纪录片吧,在经济高速发展带来的各种社会问题背后,我们依然可以看到淳朴的民族,悠久的历史,富饶的土地和珍稀的野生动植物资源,这些都将会让你重新爱上这片神奇的土地,爱上这个国家。
应该重新认真认识和思考我们和我们的家园。。。感谢BBC,不感谢SMG。
去城市化的野性中国,不但有美丽多姿的自然景观,还有和谐细腻的人文关怀。BBC拍了一部良心剧,有几个地方看得真是泪飞顿作倾盆雨...
没看进去
很喜欢这种纪录片,可以看好几遍~
this is wild china。如此安详壮美如此神秘 。50多个国家级野生动植物和风景保护区、86种中国珍奇野生动植物和30多个民族生活故事,原始化的生存与自然互相依傍,三餐耕种是自给自足又充满愉悦的事情。拍摄是漫长而艰辛的,等待了几个星期的落日与路途中偶遇都是自然的礼物。
配乐精良,画面细腻,BBC的大气
外国影人眼中的中国,和我们眼中的国家,美得视角虽然不一样,但美的呈现是一样滴!
BBC拍出的中国怎么就那么美呢?
