This is a British documentary filmed in 1964. The documentary interviewed 14 seven-year-old children from different walks of life and asked them about their views on life and their future prospects.
After that, we will interview them again every seven years to learn about the current situation and their latest mentality and views. Until 2012, this documentary has been filmed in its eighth season ("56up"), and the protagonists have also reached the age of 56.
This documentary is the longest time span I have ever watched. The first season was in the 1960s. The director was Paul Almond and his assistant was Michael Apted. As of 2018, Paul has passed away, and Michael has transformed from a vibrant young man to a famous director with gray hair on his temples, and has taken over the filming of the documentary "Seven Years in the Life".
Due to space limitations, I do not want to discuss the long-term impact of differences in birth and class on life, nor do I want to engage in meaningless debates about which life is better or worse. After all, I haven’t fully come into contact with society yet, so I can lament the changes in circumstances. What impressed me most is the passage of time and the visible growth and aging.
First of all, I have to admit that I have not finished watching this series (of course, this series has not been finished yet). I should have watched this season of "35up" from "7up" in one go. Nearly thirty years have passed.
I watched it when I was a freshman, and I read it in one sitting over a weekend. From being childish and cute at the age of 7, to being youthful and lively at the age of 14, to entering society for the first time at the age of 21, to having a rough and tumble face at the age of 28, and then getting married and having children at the age of 35. I read other people's stories, but it seems that the one who has been tortured by the butcher's knife of time is myself. I feel like I am holding a stone and holding my breath, feeling uncomfortable.
So I had to stop, and I planned to take it slow before continuing to watch. Unexpectedly, half a year and seven years later, I was about to graduate from my senior year. Hidden within these few years is my entire college career, which is also half of the time between the two documentaries.
There are a lot of things I want to say but I can’t say them, so forget it. I can only recommend everyone to read "Seven Years of Life", hoping that it will be of some benefit to your future planning.
Who are we? Where does it come from? Where will you return? These questions are closely related to our survival, but no one can give an answer that everyone is convinced of.
Director Ron Fricke spent 14 months traveling through 24 countries. Director Ron Fricke used his lens to show us the most magnificent and beautiful things that nature can have. Gorgeous scenery - from ancient times to the present, from apes to humans, from uninhabited deserts to shocking religious activity sites, from the touch brought by the vastness of the world to the happiness given by the innocent smile of a baby.

This documentary starts from the perspective of religion, belief and major human events. It has a sense of sacred solemnity. Maybe you don’t believe in religion, but you have to admit that religion is an important part of human history. .
This documentary is somewhat similar to "Earth: One Amazing Day", another film about nature and animals. They both tell what happens twenty-four hours a day according to time, but the former is about various A day in the life of an animal, and "A Day in the Life" is a day edited from clips of different people's lives from all over the world.
The film was directed by the famous directors Ridley Scott and Tony Scott. YouTube, the world's largest video sharing website, invited netizens around the world to record it with cameras Trivia about my life on July 24, 2010 and answers to some simple questions.
Nearly 4,500 hours of video from 190 countries and regions show the daily lives of people around the world on the same day. Everyone in the film shoots very different things: in addition to pointing the camera at themselves, some people record the interesting lives of others; there are complete small events and fragments without beginning or end; some people live ordinary lives. Strange, but some people just happened to catch up with the bustling large-scale activities.
During a day, someone is born, someone gets married, someone dies, and some people just live a normal life, no different from ordinary ones. How are you doing today?
This documentary film is very interesting. It mixes documentary, animation, drama, science fiction and other elements, through an old archivist Pete Postlethwaite (Pete Postlethwaite) From the perspective of Pete Postlethwaite (played by Pete Postlethwaite), we are told about the sadness and regret of this old man who lives in a destroyed future world and looks at the video data before 2015 AD.
"The fall of all the good things now is actually the evil consequences accumulated by mankind before 2015 AD."
This film depicts the fatal disasters and even destruction caused by global warming to the earth. A science fiction documentary (yes, a documentary can also have a science fiction color), constructed based on the predictions of mainstream science.
The production of the film was entirely funded by donations. It sounded a profound alarm to us and imagined such a doomsday future - "Humanity had the opportunity to save itself, but did not do it." . ”
And asked us this question from a post-apocalyptic human perspective, “Don’t you ever care about the impending destruction of the earth? ”
Everyone? There is a heart-shaking story behind it.
The well-known French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent 3 years visiting 60 countries around the world, allowing 2,020 people of different skin colors, races, and genders to tell their stories in front of the camera. . And the stories of everyone including Ukrainian freedom fighters, farmers in Mali, and death row inmates in the United States were compiled into a documentary "HUMAN".
In the documentary, the interviewees only stand on a pure black background and tell their stories in detail. There is no fancy editing, and the identity of the interviewees is not even elaborated. But just everyone's own experience is enough to shock the audience.
I really hate words like "The world is not worth it" and "I'm sorry for being a human being", which may seem sad, but are actually used to make fun of people. Because I feel that existence itself is a kind of solemn greatness. And those who are lucky enough to enjoy the quiet years are not qualified to treat death as a joke.
