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.
简单巧妙、轻盈舒服。无论再怎么做减法，对白依然是洪常秀最有魔力的部分，而他对「电影」本身越来越淡然，反而越来越让人喜欢。
洪老，要拍电影，而不要讲自己啊……拍不动了可以停下来歇一歇的，为啥要把这种东西拿出来？
几乎每一场戏，我都会不自觉的“站”到 洪常秀的“位置”想，洪常秀在“想”什么。
金敏喜出现之后，视线就始终锁定在她身上，无法转移。
22/6/24：洪导为了敏喜再也不猥琐了！不惜打破结构的彩色片尾随便怎么理解，我希望洪导的电影一直保持独立的恬静下去。
啊好甜！这就是电影的意义和重要性所在。感觉仿佛“通过当场摄入热量增强意志力”。
我真想请教一下各位大神，读解一下洪常秀的电影语言，牛逼在哪里，每一次的推拉有什么寓意。我看的是电影还是小说，是视听还是文字
与其说这是小说家的电影，不如说这是导演的生活录像。洪尚秀再一次用他和金敏喜的灵魂爱情撑起了一部电影。台词依旧是文学式的，但静止空间的大篇幅对话到底是不是电影呢，电影不更应该是没有台词也能够运转下去的吗。
卡司刚出来时我还笑称，这种豪华阵容怎么跟吃散伙饭似的，就差金玺碧了。现在是笑不出来了，这简直像金洪二人的自白和无限期告别信——先是金敏喜：“我不想拍电影了，不只是不想拍商业片哦，反正你们早看出来了”，然后洪尚秀：“我阐述清楚我拍电影的理念了吧？我自嘲自恋过了吧？好的。现在遇到瓶颈期了，想休息一下”，结尾附赠全世界影迷一场婚礼。
拍给金敏喜的电影情书，金敏喜身上有少女的娇羞、不知所措和小情绪同时又兼顾成熟女性的妩媚与知性，确实很美很有味道。非常日常，真实得有些像创作和恋爱纪录片。
又又又又是一套制式化的电影。尽管尝试了更长的镜头去拍一些表演痕迹不重但设定刻意的场景，但完全tricky地依赖熟悉演员带来的效益。不禁想问，抛去这些熟悉的身份设定，情景设定和演员，洪还能拍出什么。止步不前，仅满足于喂满洪孝子的欲望。
啊好甜！这就是电影的意义和重要性所在。感觉仿佛“通过当场摄入热量增强意志力”。
小说家那段骂电影导演说“浪费”的话很解气
我浑浑噩噩地度过了我人生中的前三年。前三年浑浑噩噩地被度过在我人生之中。我在给别人录音的时候听到了隔壁情侣的发疯吵架。最后我在拍摄自己电影的过程里和女主角深陷爱情的泉井。曾经我以为自己厌恶一切东西，工业和虚伪的技术都是破坏艺术原真的垃圾。结果我自己最后也丧失了作为诗人的天性。我不清楚我讲的话或者我做过的事儿，对于我一切的过去我只想逃避。我站在天塔上看到的不是风景，而是自己。下一秒我来到公园里碰见了你，你还是老样子，一张嘴巴两只眼睛。你告诉我我否定一切没有意义没有意义。最后，我卸载了虎扑，剔去了长发，灵光涌现，不能自己。我是自私的，我曾经为了及时上厕所踩碎过一片郁金香花坛和两座自动喷水的机器。我也是虚伪的，因为我一直自诩真诚且对真诚的代价毫不在意。最后我看见了你，然后拍了你，你就是我的意义。
洪常秀已经放弃什么技术了，所谓的结构、黑白影像等等，看不到洪导的突破在哪里，甚至还有很多退步，这部电影最大的优势是金敏喜。这样的电影就是八卦电影，属于洪导的私密自嗨，顺带给娱乐周刊贡献一点正面回应材料。
一部关于洪尚秀拍摄电影方式的自我指涉的元电影，小说家的电影，尽管导演是缺席，但是通过最后的彩色镜头，金敏喜违反了“直视摄影机”的禁令，跟洪尚秀视觉对话。电影成为一份导演与御用演员的情书，这种小工作坊式的电影拍摄方式，接近戈达尔和伍迪艾伦，体现了一种艺术片生产机制的健全和健康，既是小打小闹的，又是艺术性的。影片涉及的人物情节及故事元素，看似漫不经心，是日常生活的自然主义摹写，实际上却是精心涉及的，每个层面都恰到好处，反应了普通人生活中的无聊，同时也有神秘、无可奈何，相识相知后的心花怒放，走向幻觉的现实主义
拍电影的念头因你而起。分明的黑白随你而褪去。
属于撒狗粮了 一定是先有的片尾 衍伸出了这么封情书
观看诸如此类的“话痨”电影，于我而言，对片中的大量对白是否感兴趣相当重要，好在这部《小说家的电影》里聊到的好些话题是我喜闻乐见的。—— 台词：每个人都可以选择他想要的生活，你觉得她是个小孩子吗？如果她选择了她的道路并为之开心，我们应该尊重她。浪费？你知道那个词意味着什么吗？意味着她在做的事情是错的，或者她生活的方式是错的。你怎么可以对一个成年人这样说？她不是小学生，你难道比她自己还要更热爱她的生活吗？还是说你更懂生活？你更聪明？你根本没摆正自己的位置！每个人都想用自己的方式过自己的生活，不是所有人都在乎钱的。你要认识到这一点。浪费？不要浪费我们自己的生命就好了。
又尴尬又随意，但也挺喜欢。2022.6.5 “我想活的长一点。”“为什么要活长一点，有什么意义吗？”
