Oceans Apart: Art And The Pacific With James Fox
Marking the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook’s departure on the first of his three epic voyages to the Pacific, this series looks afresh at the exploration and colonisation that followed through the explosive encounter between European and indigenous Oceanic art.
Everything changed when the Europeans arrived....
we are still fighting for our rights and *******, and that makes me sad and angry, because we are the first people here in Australia. It's really sad, you know?
这些海岛上的人和艺术就像那里的自然环境本身一样充满生命力和力量感,有一种原始而庄严的感觉。就像最后新西兰篇的结尾说的一样,这部纪录片也没有单纯从European的角度来讲,而是encounter这样的角度,使得这部纪录片更加客观。里面的小小细节也很震撼,比如Tahiti当地人的画,就是俯瞰视角下的当地生态环境,比如那幅日落追逐黑夜,比如Virgin Mary with moko,用贝壳做的眼睛在光影变换下仿佛在转动。btw James Fox写得和讲得真的太好了。
