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.
第一段（影片前60分钟）从功能性上它仅能作为第一幕但又如此之长（甚至托尼科莱特那个角色完全浪费掉了），紧接着到了城市又是叙事铺垫，因此就显得特别冗长无聊，但其实本身单拧出来是好看的，只是放在整个结构中显得不太合理。除此之外还真挺喜欢（甚至多过水形物语），尤其是影片过半后节奏滚动起来完全就看进去了，结尾收得特别好。
1.画面感拿捏了 2.回忆杀 3.剧情紧凑要素很多 4.剧情抓马为下半部铺垫 5.不看真的会错亿 5.凛遥是真的 6.对全员陷入爱情
翻拍果然就是黔驢技窮的另一種表現，但是翻拍成這樣，我也只能說真是白瞎了這麼好的卡司了。
故事说，你不能愚弄人，因为人们会愚弄自己。对这部以及更多部好莱坞电影来说，他们不能老是控制观众，因为观众会控制自己。对于陀螺来说，他不能在电影里解释一切，因为他的观众需要自己的解释（情节太实，不干脆，人物没立起来）。
前半部分对于民间马戏团的认真还原和细致布景给观众带来了非常好的视觉体验。让我想到《象人》、《畸形人》和《大路》。这三部电影中也出现了类似的马戏团场景，但更加粗粝和真实，本片稍显精致的布景一定程度上削弱了这种民间生活气息。后半部分的叙事过于平淡，情节平平无奇，浪费了漫天大雪和华丽布景。那么多有特点的人物都只是轻描淡写，非常可惜。据说改编于1947年的同名电影，有时间补一下。
对这个老派的故事无感，也不太喜欢男主女二剑拔弩张的表演，我就是喜欢炫彩色调中的诡异奇幻，前两幕可把我满足得够够的。
渐入佳境，反倒不觉得是一个四十年代的故事，而是在被架空的时间里。
如果你看过低学历大师把一帮明星企业家精英大佬骗得团团转的新闻，那么这部电影是有其现实依据的。每个人的心里都有缺口，骗子就是发现了这个缺口并加以利用，仅此而已。男主太帅了，但是气场完全被大魔王压过去了，最遗憾的就是男主还是太嫩，影片整体还是非常好看的
一场银幕怪物秀，我不说不好，是因为我没花钱。6
服化道都很好，看着也很好，但是这个故事就完全照搬原版、几乎没有改动，这么原模原样的用新技术重新拍了一遍，这就让人觉得这样毫无全新内容和解读的翻拍到底是为了什么呢？而且，片长也算是个问题，第一幕马戏团的部分有点太长了吧，2个半小时的全片也是没啥必要的长了。
跟同年上映的SOHO区惊魂夜犯了同样的错误，节奏过于快了。剧本可堪称完美，但伏笔在电影中展示的太过明显，到后面就差不多能猜到结局了。很喜欢开头对布莱德利的角色的处理，不需一句话的将人物特质呈现出来。多加一星给结尾曲Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust。
这届CP粉素质太高了吧，哈哈哈
我是吃人的魔鬼，那是命中注定； 我是游戏的浪子，那是天生我才 我以为我能改变命运，可是每个赌徒都是在最后一把里输掉了全部的运气 我以为我是战胜邪恶的屠龙勇士，可是当我打败了SIN也就成了SIN 兜兜转转，其实I am born to Geek，那个笼中的怪兽就是以后的自己 陀螺一以贯之的黑色审美，摄影太美，就是故事本身又长又单薄
我实在是不懂Stanton是怎么敢让molly出现在一个不遵从自己疗程的客户面前
我甚至觉得，最后片中男主说“mister, I was born for it (geek).” 有点作者自己的影子。
陀螺标志性的影像风格，前半段马戏团的表现力极强，服化道也精致的无可挑剔。但是这个故事。。。冗长乏味，Kate大魔王根本没啥发挥空间啊，感觉就是在努力向femme fatale上靠。
就这样结束了他的一生。
哦还有一点，欲望啊，真是个麻烦精…
两个半小时过长了，2月2日 13:00 看过
个人觉得片子没毛病，还是挺好看的。就是出自陀螺之手的话，再加上这个卡死，感觉有点屈才了。右后谁要问我什么事“卡斯诈骗”，此片就是经典案例。。。那个婴儿标本是从双瞳剧组借的吗？片尾，我以为男主要说，哥，憋给我灌鸦片了，怪人，我演就是了。其实我有一点不懂，男主为啥忽然就开始喝酒了呢？
