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.
看的时候一直在想，也许潘金莲也是如此遭遇，只是被不同的人书写了...
156分钟中性侵案部分篇幅只占一半，两位骑士间恩怨到底真相是什么? 因为这部分女主没有参与，是否意味着呆蒙和老司机之间各执一词没有真相? 而女主出现之后，她的叙事就天然正确。剧本作者就像上帝一样。女权没这么玩的。
虽然和《英雄》一模一样的三段结构（更早是《罗生门》）但细节填充得很漂亮，果然问题不在于重复，而在于怎样完善细节。

没想到如此成熟的中古罗生门，雷公不负我。一部真正去剖析女权的作品，不是靠所谓故事结尾随意手撕男人来达成的空洞高潮，而是淡然地告知观众：this is the shit, eat it. 对比某些自作聪明的（说的就是你，前程似锦的女孩）作品，只能说假女权让女人恨男人，真女权让男人恨男人
选角完美，演技过关，代入感强到令人窒息。罗生门叙事之作不少，但这么具讽刺意义的我只看过这部；男的，男的，女的("the truth")，忍不住笑了（然后在黑压压的真相面前立马笑不出）。
三段式有点冗长，但是真的，有毒的男性气质真的祸害前年
电影一开始就展现了一场决斗，高台上的女人，一定与她密切相关。但随着第一第二以及最后第三个视角的展开，我们才慢慢地发现，故事的确与这个女人有关，不过再一细想，又与这个女人完全无关。这个女人，只是父亲交易的一个筹码，只是丈夫的声誉（及泄愤工具），只是另一个风流倜傥男人又一个到手的猎物，还有大众餐桌上的谈资。我在想，假如这个女人，玛格丽特不说出真相呢？就像尚的母亲说的：真相并不重要，我也被强暴过。随着推移的镜头，我一下子被震住了。旧时代由于女人们隐忍着没有反抗，所以才持续着这种黑暗。活着，但是代价太大了，她们的女性后代永远都摆脱不掉这副枷锁。男人？女人当然需要男人们的支持，但归根结底，还得靠自己争取，一代人接着一代人，才勉强争取到现在一点点的权利。一个人在社会中，不可能只解放自己，而不解放他人。
最后的的决斗有点意思，一切道具服装要为剧情服务，否则就是画蛇添足，比如剧终的女性主义观点。

罗生门的故事先要看的是剧作吧，所以我现在还没明白老司机的仆人是怎么知道那天马特达蒙家里只有他老婆一个人呢。本来以为是婆婆的一个大阴谋，三个人又在阴谋里各怀鬼胎，所以现在的剧本看起来太寡淡了，落脚点也模棱两可，女性主义的东西我从这个结局里反正是看不到。
中世纪“Me too”故事。很多人把它比作中世纪“罗生门”，其实并不是。因为真相就是最后一章的女主视角，那个淡出的“Truth”已经足够明显。整部电影最后韵脚停在了貌似正义获胜的决斗场景，悲哀的是这场决斗根本和正义无关。雷德利斯科特真的是目前还活着的电影大师里最高产最革新的了。整部片子基本坚持实景拍摄，绿幕特效很少。中世纪战斗做得简直要赶上《角斗士》水准了，远超《权力的游戏》里械斗水平。很遗憾由于本片营销策略失败，夹在007和沙丘之间，票房惨淡。但我想即便档期选好一点，这类没有噱头、不加笑料的严肃电影恐怕也已经不被观众青睐了。

人类的一半与人类的另一半加深了鸿沟。
3.5 虽然【真相】段落很不罗生门，但叙事很稳，内核也好，因为这所谓多数人被牺牲的文明，tm的令人窒息了。当然，比起大谜面，更令人疑惑的是，老司机居然是全片门面担当？？后来才知道，原来这个角色是大本来演的...好的打扰了...
外国导演眼中的女性：《最后的决斗》。中国作家眼中的女性：《三体》
三个视角提供的信息量竟可以如此单薄，更惊喜的是还能倚靠其生拉硬拽出两个半小时。这种斥巨资打造镀金破烂、又臭又长的裹脚布电影让一众制片公司尝到甜头后趋之若鹜，就现今已存数量而言是否可以被定义为独立新派别——扎式电影？
在靠暴力角力的中世纪，女人自然是男人麾下的棋子。影片雷声大雨点小，总感觉拍成“罗生门”太多余了。雷老爷子还是钟情这清冷的“黑场字幕唱诗班”画风。大本演的是个昏君吧？造型太朋克了。
一个男人粗鲁野蛮，另一个男人自我催眠
当情绪还执着在欲窥探雷导要怎样用罗生门式的悬疑构造来将矛盾引至高潮时，剧情却早已在抽丝剥茧的蜕露其刺骨的奥义，借古讽今的女性生存处境主题，更显超越时代、文化、地域与人种的亘古性与必要性，其普世价值通俗易论，加持有着《天朝王国》般寒光铮铮的视听愉悦，不得不再次钦佩雷导老骥伏枥的创作激情
