Among the few animal documentaries, there are also many excellent works. I will introduce them today.
1. Unreached land
This is a documentary I found during the drought drama. At first, I thought it was a documentary about natural scenery.
But after watching the first episode, I was deeply attracted by it. After reading it, I found that animals are similar to humans, with joy at the birth of new life and sadness at where you will go. In the wild, there are cruel laws of the jungle and warmth of mutual help.
The picture of this documentary is so excellent that almost every frame can be used as the desktop of China's natural scenery.
This documentary has a very strong "domestic" imprint, and the soundtrack is a typical national style texture, not passionate and noisy. The narrative is also full of China's philosophical thoughts. It makes people sigh how natural and harmonious the combination of all this and nature is.
After reading it, you will find that life on earth, like human beings, is also the protagonist here. Every creature has its own meaning of existence, and lives as hard as human beings.
2. Song of the Forest
Song of the Forest is a domestic documentary produced in four years, and the final condensed film in four years is only 1 1 hour.
Many of the shots are taken in some beautiful and inaccessible places in China. For example, Northeast Forest, Qinling Mountains, Taklimakan Desert, Southeast Tibet Forest, Shennongjia, Hengduan Mountains, Hainan Tropical Rainforest, South China Sea Mangrove and so on. I personally yearn for these undeveloped wild scenic spots. Documentary gives us a chance to see these lovely animals in the most relaxed way.
Its content is similar to Unknown Land, but its expression is quite different. If you are interested in animals, don't miss it. The picture of Song of the Forest is beautiful, but the picture quality is not very good because it was shot earlier. It can't be compared with the current 4K or 8 K documentaries. Its director is Chen Xiaoqing. In that case, no one may know who he is. His most famous documentary works are the first and second seasons of China on the Tip of the Tongue. So the quality of this forest song is very excellent.
3. Panda Biography
Panda Biography is different from other documentaries, and its main recording object is our national treasure: panda.
I don't know if you have heard of a legend that if bamboo blooms in a large area, it is a sign before bamboo dies. Then the giant panda had no food and starved to death.
But the emergence of a scientist, after research, broke this rumor, and he is Mr. Pan.
This documentary records the progress of the earliest panda research and protection work in China, and truly shows the details of panda experts' scientific research in the field for more than ten years. This animal documentary is different from others. It has no excellent picture quality and nothing to see. The pandas in it are all dirty, not as glamorous as we saw.
But it shows us the true side of the panda. For example, in the wild, they will rub trees with their own Baba to leave a smell and even fight.
This documentary uses many images recorded during scientific research in the 1980s, but it can better convey the profound concept of animal protection to us. Personally, I think this documentary is so China that no foreign institution can make it. It has a long time span and shows us a variety of pandas.
This documentary also subverts my consistent impression of pandas. They look harmless to people and animals, as if holding only the breeder's thigh. But look at the pandas in this documentary, they are all first-class athletes.
