《家园》，一部让人类震撼的史诗级影片摘要：正如《家园》（HOME）影片最后所传达的信息：“现在已不再是悲观的时候，让我们立即联手，重要的不是我们失去了什么，而是我们剩下的还有什么。
” 是继续破坏直至毁灭还是行动起来拯救我们唯一的家园？答案就在你的一念之间！地球，是宇宙的奇迹，生命的摇篮，人类共同的家园。
她给人类提供生存的空间和资源，使人类在这里生息繁衍。
《家园》（HOME），一部筹备15年，跨越50多个国家，动用88000名员工，21个月拍摄完成，史上投资最大的环保纪录片，已被翻译成14种语言，是一部让人类震撼的史诗级影片。
《HOME》的导演是著名法国摄影师、生态学家、环境保护者Yann Arthus-Bertrand （扬·阿尔蒂斯-贝特朗），Yann Arthus-Bertrand专门从事空中摄影已超过30年，极具声望。
他的空中摄影作品集《Earth from Above（鸟瞰地球）》被翻译成24种语言，销售量超过3百万册；同名的免费摄影展在全球110个城市展出，观众达1.2亿人次。
而《HOME》便是Yann Arthus-Bertrand 30年空中摄影和环保工作的一次动态精华荟萃。
法国著名导演吕克·贝松( Luc Besson, 《这个杀手不太冷》、《第五元素》导演) 则担任《HOME》的制片。
贝特朗和他的团队耗费了一年半时间，遍历整个地球，才得以完成此片。
来自五十多个国家的影像给人类带来了这样一个信息：我们应当认识到人类对地球的残酷掠夺，应当改变我们的消费模式。
▋拍摄幕后经过四十亿年的漫长演变，地球变成一个物种繁多、资源丰富、奇特美丽的蓝色星球。
然而自人类出现以来，我们只用了二十万年的时间，便将地球的宝贵资源消耗殆尽。
珍稀物种灭绝，原始资源奇缺，污染日益严重，人类以及地球的明天将何去何从？导演扬·阿尔蒂斯-贝特朗经过15年的筹备，历访50多个国家拍成此片。

大型纪录片电影《HOME》的英文字幕
HOMEBy Sprawling.Listen to me, please. You’re like me, a homo sapiens. A wise human.Life, a miracle in the universe, appeared around four billion years ago, and we humans only 200,000 years ago. Yet we have succeeded in disrupting the balance that is so essential to life on Earth.Listen carefully to this extraordinary story, which is yours, and decide what you want to do with it.These are traces of our origins. At the beginning, our planet was no more than a chaos of fire, formed in the wake of its star, the sun. A cloud of agglutinated dust particles, similar to so many similar clusters in the universe. Yet this was where the miracle of life occurred.Today, life-our life-is just a link in a chain of innumerable living beings that have succeeded one another on Earth over nearly four billion years. And even today, new volcanoes continue to sculpt our landscapes. They offer a glimpse of what our Earth was like at its birth---molten rock surging from the depths, solidifying, cracking, blistering or spreading in a thin crust, before fabling dormant for a time.These wreaths of smoke curling from the bowels of the Earth bear witness to the Earth’s original atmosphere. An atmosphere devoid of oxyge n. A dense atmosphere, thick with water vapor, full of carbon dioxide. A furnace.But the Earth had an exceptional future, offered to it by water. At the right distance from the sun---not too far, not too near, the Earth was able to conserve waterin liquid form. Water vapor condensed and fell in torrential downpours on Earth, and rivers appeared.The rivers shaped the surface of the Earth, cutting their channels, furrowing out valleys. They ran toward the lowest places on the globe to form the oceans. They tore minerals from the rocks, and gradually the freshwater of the oceans became heavy with salt.Water is a vital liquid. It irrigated these sterile expanses. The paths it traced are like the veins of a body, the branches of a tree, the vessels of the sap that it brought to the Earth.Nearly four billion years later, somewhere on Earth can still be found these works of art, left by the volcanoes’ ash, mixed with water from Iceland’s glaciers. There they are- matter and water, water and matter-soft and hard combined, the crucial alliance shared by every life-form on our planet.Minerals and metals are even older than the Earth. They are stardust. They provide the Earth’s colors. Red from iron, black from carbon, blue from copper, yellow from sulfur.Where do we come from?Where did life first spark into being?A miracle of time, primitive life-forms still exist in the globe’s hot springs. They give them their colors. They’re called archaeobacteria. They all feed off the Earth’s heat all except the cyanobacter ia, or blue-green algae. They alone have the capacity to turn the sun to capture its energy. They are a vital ancestor of allyesterday’s and today’s plant species. These tiny bacteria and their billions of descendants changed the destiny of our planet. They transformed its atmosphere.What happened to the carbon that poisoned the atmosphere?It’s still here, imprisoned in the Earth’s crust. We can read this chapter of the Earth’s history nowhere better than on the walls of Colorado’s Grand Canyon. They rev eal nearby two billion years of the Earth’s history. Once upon a time, the Grand Canyon was a sea inhabited by microorganisms. They grew their shells by tapping into carbon from the atmosphere dissolved in the ocean. When they died, the shells sank and accumulated on the sealed. These strata are the product of those billions and billions of shells.Thanks to them, the carbon drained from the atmosphere, and other life-forms could develop.It is life that altered the atmosphere. Plant life fed off the sun’s energy, which enabled it to break apart the water molecule and take the oxygen. And oxygen filled the air.The Earth’s water cycle is a process of constant renewal. Waterfalls, water, vapor, clouds, rain, springs, rivers, seas, oceans, glaciers. The cycle is never broken. There’s always the same quantity of water on Earth. All the successive species on Earth have drunk the same water. The astonishing matter that is water. One of the most unstable of all. It takes a liquid form as running water, gaseous as vapor or solid as ice.In Siberia, the frozen surfaces of the lakes in winter contain the traces of the forces that water deploys when it freezes. Lighter than water, the ice floats, rather thansinking to the bottom. It forms a protective mantle against the cold, under which life can go on.The engine of life is linkage. Everything is linked. Nothing is self-sufficient. Water and air are inseparable, united in life and for our life on Earth. Thus, clouds form over the oceans and bring rain to the landmasses, whose rivers carry water back to the oceans.Sharing is everything.The green expanse peeking through the clouds is the source of oxygen in the air. Seventy percent of this gas, without which our lungs cannot function, comes from the algae that tint the surface of the oceans.Our Earth relies on a balance in which every being has a role to play and exists only through the existence of another being. A subtle, fragile harmony that is easily shattered. Thus, corals are born from the marriage of algae and shells. The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia, stretches over 350,000 square kilometers and is home to 1,500 species of fish, 4000 species of mollusks and 400 species of coral. The equilibrium of every ocean depends on these corals.The Earth counts time in billions of years. It took more than four billion years for it to make trees. In the chain of species, trees are a pinnacle, a perfect living sculpture. Trees defy gravity. They are the only natural element in perpetual movement toward the sky. They grow unhurriedly the sun that nourishes their foliage. They have inherited from those minuscule cyanobacteria the power to capture light’s energy. They store it and feed off it, turning it into wood and leaves, which then decomposeinto a mixture of water, mineral, vegetable and living matter.And so, gradually, the soils that are indispensable to life are formed. Soils are the factory of biodiversity. They are a word of incessant activity where microorganisms feed, dig, aerate and transform. They make the humus, the fertile layer to which all life on land is linked.What do we know about life on Earth? How many species are we aware of? A10th of them? A hundredth perhaps? What do we know about the bonds that link them?The Earth is a miracle. Life remains a mystery.Families of animals form, united by customs and rituals that survive today. Some adapt to the nature of their pasture, and their pasture adapts to them. And both gain. The animal sates its hunger, and the tree can blossom again.In the great adventure of life on Earth, every species has a role to play, every species has its place. None is futile or harmful. They all balance out.And that’s where you, Homo sapiens-“wise human”-enter the story. You benefit from a fabulous four-billion-year-old legacy bequeathed by the Earth. You’re only 200,000 years old, but you have changed the face of the world. Despite your vulnerability, you have taken possession of every habitat and conquered swaths of territory like no other species before you. After 180,000 nomadic years, and thanks to a more clement climate, humans settled down. They no longer depended on hunting for survival. They chose to live in wet environments that abounded in fish, game and wild plants. There, where land, water and life combine.Human genius inspired them to build canoes, an invention that opened up new horizons and turned humans into navigators.Even today, the majority of humankind lives on the continents’ coastlines or the banks of rivers and lakes.The first towns grew up less than 600 years ago. It was a considerable leap in human history. Why towns? Because they allowed humans to defend themselves more easily. They became social beings, meeting and sharing knowledge and crafts, blending their similarities and differences. In a word, they became civilized.But the only energy at their disposal was provided by nature and the strength of their bodies. It was the story of humankind for thousands of years. It still is for one person in four—over one and a half billion human beings—more than the combined population of all the wealthy nations.Taking from the Earth only the strictly necessary. For a long time, the relationship between humans and the planet was evenly balanced. For a long time, the economy seemed like a natural and equitable alliance. But life expectancy is short, and hard labor takes its toll. The uncertainties of nature weigh on daily life. Education is a rare privilege. Children are a family’s only asset, as long as every extra pair of hands is a necessary contribution to its subsistence. The Earth feeds people, clothes them and provides for their daily needs. Everything comes from the Earth.Towns change humanity’s nature, as well as its destiny. The farmer becomes a craftsman, trader or peddler. What the Earth gives the farmer, the city dweller buys, sells or barters. Goods change hands, along with ideas.Humanity’s genius is to have always had a sense of its weakness. Humans tried to extend the frontiers of their territory, but they knew their limits. The physical energy and strength with which nature had not endowed them was found in the animals they domesticated to serve them.But how can you conquer the world on an empty stomach? The invention of agriculture transformed the future of the wild animals scavenging for food that were humankind. Agriculture turned their history on end. Agriculture was their first great revolution. Developed barely 8,000 to 10,000 years age, it changed their relationship to nature. It brought an end to the uncertainty of hunting and gathering. It resulted in the first surpluses and gave birth to cities and civilizations. For their agriculture, humans harnessed the energy of animal species and plant life from which they at last extracted the profits. The memory of thousands of years scrabbling for food faded. They learned to adapt the grains that are the yeast of life to different soils and climates. They learned to increase the yield and multiply the number of varieties.Like every species on Earth, the principal daily concern of all humans is to feed themselves and their family. When the soil is less generous and water becomes scarce, humans deploy prodigious efforts to mark a few arid acres with the imprint of their labor. Human shaped the land with the patience and devotion that the Earth demands, in an almost sacrificial ritual performed over and over.Agriculture is still the world’s most widespread occupation. Half of humankind tills the soil, over three-quarters of them by hand. Agriculture is like a tradition handed down from generation to generation in sweat, graft and toil, because for humanity it isa prerequisite of survival.But after relying on muscle power for so long, humankind found a way to tap into the energy buried deep in the Earth.These flames are also from plants. A pocket of sunlight. Pure energy—the energy of the sun captured over millions of years by millions of plants more than a hundred million years ago. It’s coal. It’s gas. And above all, it’s oil. And this pocket of sunlight freed humans from their toil on the land. With oil began the era of humans who break free of the shackles of time. With oil, some of us acquired unprecedented comforts. And in 50 years, in a single lifetime, the Earth has been more radically changed than by all previous generations of humanity.Faster and faster. In the last 60 years, the Earth’s population has almost tripled, and over two billon people have moved to the cities. Faster and faster. Shenzhen, in China, with its hundreds of skyscrapers and millions of inhabitants, was just a small fishing village barely 40 years ago. Faster and faster. In Shanghai, 3,000 towers and skyscrapers have been built in 20 years. Hundreds more are under construction.Today, over half of the world’s seven billion inhabitants live in citie s. New York. The world’s first megalopolis is the symbol of the exploitation of the energy the Earth supplies to human genius. The manpower of millions of immigrants, the energy of coal, the unbridled power of oil. Electricity resulted in the invention of elevators, which in turn permitted the invention of skyscrapers. New York ranks as the 16th –largest economy in the world.American was the first to discover, exploit and harness the phenomenalrevolutionary power of black gold. With its help, a country of farmers became a country of agricultural industrialists. Machines replaced men. A liter of oil generates as much energy as 100 pairs of hands in 24 hours, but worldwide only three percent of farmers have use of a tractor. Nonetheless, their output dominates the planet.In the United States, only three million farmers are left. They produce enough grain to feed two billion people. But most of that grain is not used to feed people. Here, and in all other industrialized nations, it’s transformed into livest ock feed or biofuels.The pocket of sunshine’s energy chased away the specter of drought that stalked farmland. No spring escapes the demands of agriculture, which accounts for 70% of humanity’s water consumption.In nature, everything is linked. The expansion of cultivated land and single-crop farming encouraged the development of parasites. Pesticides, another gift of the petrochemical revolution, exterminated them. Bad harvests and famine became a distant memory. The biggest headache now was what to do with the surpluses engendered by modern agriculture.But toxic pesticides seeped into the air, soil, plants, animals, rivers and oceans. They penetrated the heart of cells similar to the mother cell that is shared by all forms of life. Are they harmful to the humans that they released from hunger? These farmers, in their yellow protective suits, probably have a good idea.The new agriculture abolished the dependence on soils and seasons. Fertilizers produced unprecedented results on plots of land thus far ignored. Crops adapted to soils and climates gave way to the most productive varieties and the easiest totransport. And so, in the last century, three-quarters of the varieties developed by farmers over thousands of years have been wiped out. As far as the eye can see, fertilizer below, plastic on top.The greenhouses of Almeria in Spain are Europe’s vegetable garden. A city of uniformly sized vegetables waits every day for the hundreds of trucks that will take them to the continent’s supermarkets.The more a country develops, the more meat its inhabitants consume. How can growing worldwide demand be satisfied without recourse to concentration camp-style cattle farms? Faster and faster. Like the life cycle of livestock which may never see a meadow, manufacturing meat faster than the animal has become a daily routine. In these vast food lots, trampled by millions of cattle, not a blade of grass grows. A fleet of trucks from every corner of the country brings in tons of grain, soy meal and protein-rich granules that will become tons of meat. The result is that it takes 100 liters of water to produce one kilogram of potatoes, 4,000 for one kilo of rice and 13,000 for one kilo of beef. Not to mention the oil guzzled in the production process and transport.Our agriculture has become oil-powered. It feeds twice as many humans on Earth but has replaced diversity with standardization. It has offered many of us comforts we could only dream of, but it makes our way of life totally dependent on oil.This is the n ew measure of time. Our world’s clock now beats to the rhythm of these indefatigable machines tapping into the pocket of sunlight. Their regularity reassures us. The tiniest hiccup throws us into disarray. The whole planet is attentiveto these metronomes of our hopes and illusions. The same hopes, and illusions that proliferate along with our needs, increasingly insatiable desires and profligacy. We know that the end of cheap oil is imminent, but we refuse to believe it.For many of us, the American dream is embodied by a legendary name: Los Angeles. In this city that stretches over 100 kilometers, the number of cars is almost equal to the number of inhabitants.Here, energy puts on a fantastic show every night. The day seems to be no more than the pale reflection of nights that turn the city into a starry sky. Faster and faster. Distances are no longer counted in miles but in minutes. The automobile shapes new suburbs where every home is a castle, a safe distance from the asphyxiated city centers, and where neat rows of houses huddle round dead-end streets.The model of a lucky few countries has become a universal dream, preached by televisions all over the world. Even here in Beijing, it is cloned, copied and reproduced in these formatted houses that have wiped pagodas off the map.The automobile has become the symbol of comfort and progress. If this model were followed by every society, the planet wouldn’t have 900 million vehicles, as it does today, but five billion.Faster and faster. The more the world develops, the greater its thirst for energy. Everywhere, machines dig, bore and rip from the Earth, the pieces of stars buried in its depths since its creation: minerals.In the next 20 years, more ore will be extracted from the Earth than in the whole o f humanity’s history. As a privilege of power, 80% of this mineral wealth isconsumed by 20% of the world’s population. Before the end of this century, excessive mining will have exhausted nearly all the planet’s reserves.Faster and faster. Shipyards churn out oil tankers, container ships and gas tankers to cater for the demands of globalized industrial production. Most consumer goods travel thousands of kilometers from the country of production to the country of consumption. Since 1950, the volume of international trade has increased 20 times over. Ninety percent of trade goes by sea. 500 million containers are transported every year, headed for the world’s major hubs of consumption, such as Dubai.Dubai is one of the biggest construction sites in the world—a country where the impossible becomes possible. Building artificial islands in the sea, for example. Dubai has few natural resources, but with the money from oil, it can bring millions of tons of material and people from all over the world. It can build forests of skyscrapers, each one taller than the last, or even a ski slope in the middle of the desert. Dubai has no farmland, but it can import food. Dubai has no water, but it can afford to expend immense amounts of energy to desalinate seawater and build the highest skyscrapers in the world. Dubai has endless sun but no solar panels. It is the city of more is more, where the wildest dreams become reality. Dubai is a sort of culmination of the Western model, with its 800-meter high totem to total modernity that never fails to amaze the world. Excessive? Perhaps.Dubai appears to have made its choice. It is like the new beacon for all the world’s money. Nothing seems further removed from nature than Dubai, although nothing depends on nature more than Dubai. The city merely follows the model ofwealthy nations. We haven’t understood that we’re depleting what nature provides.What do we know of the marine world, of which we see only the surface, and which covers three-quarters of the planet? The ocean depths remain a secret. They contain thousands of species whose existence remains a mystery to us.Since 1950, fishing catches have increased fivefold, from18 to 100 million metric tons a year. Thousands of factory ships are emptying the oceans. Three-quarters of fishing grounds are exhausted, depleted or in danger of being so. Most large fish have been fished out of existence, since they have no time to reproduce. We are destroying the cycle of a life that was given to us.On the coastlines, signs of the exhaustion of stocks abound. First sign: Colonies of sea mammals are getting smaller. Made vulnerable by urbanization of the coasts and pollution, they now face a new threat: famine. In their unequal battle against industrial fishing fleets, they can’t find en ough fish to feed their young. Second sign：Seabirds must fly ever greater distances to find food. At the current rate, all fish stocks are threatened with exhaustion.In Dakar, traditional net fishing boomed in the years of plenty, but today, fish stocks are dwindling. Fish is the staple diet of one in five humans.Can we envision the inconceivable? Abandoned boats, seas devoid of fish?We have forgotten that resources are scarce. 500 million humans live in the world’s desert lands, more than the combined population of Europe. They know the value of water. They know how to use it sparingly. Here, they depend on wells replenished by fossil water, which accumulated underground in the days when itrained on these deserts, 25,000 years ago.Fossil water also enables crops to be grown in the desert to provide food for local populations. The fields’ circular shape derives from the pipes that irrigate them around a central pivot. But there is a heavy price to pay. Fossil water is a nonrenewable resource. In Saudi Arabia, the dream of industrial farming in the desert has faded. As if on a parchment map, the lights spots on this patchwork show abandoned plots. The irrigation equipment is still there. The energy to pump water also. But the fossil water reserves are severely depleted.Israel turned the desert into arable land. Even though these hothouses are now irrigated drop by drop, water consumption continues to increase along with exports. The once mighty river Jordan is now just a trickle. Its water has flown to supermarkets all over the world in crates of fruit and vegetables.The Jordan’s fate is not unique. Across the planet, one major river in10 no longer flows into the sea for several months of the year. The Dead Sea derives its name from its incredibly high s alinity that makes all life impossible. Deprived of the Jordan’s water, its level goes down by over one meter per year. Its salinity is increasing. Evaporation, due to the heat, produces these fine islands of salt evaporates—beautiful but sterile.In Rajasthan, India, Udaipur is a miracle of water. The city was made possible by a system of dams and channels that created an artificial lake. For its architects, was water so precious that they dedicated a palace to it? India risks being the country that suffers most from the lack of water in the coming century. Massive irrigation has fedthe growing population, and in the last 50 years, 21 million wells have been dug. The victory over famine has a downside, however. In many parts of the country, the drill has to sink ever deeper to hit water. In western India, 30% of wells have been abandoned. The underground aquifers are drying out.Vast reservoirs will catch the monsoon rains to replenish the aquifers. In dry season, women from local village dig them with their bare hands.Thousands of kilometers away, 800 to 1,000 liters of water are consumed per person per day. Las Vegas was built out of the desert. Millions of people live there. Thousands more arrive every month. The inhabitants of Las Vegas are among the biggest consumers of water in the world. Palm Spring is another desert city with tropical vegetation and lush golf courses.How long can this mirage continue to prosper? The Earth cannot keep up. The Colorado River, which brings water to these cities, is one of those rivers that no longer reaches the sea. Even more alarmingly, its flow is diminishing at source. Water levels in the catchment lakes along its course…are plummeting. Lake Powell took 17 years to reach high-water mark. Its level is now half of that. Water shortages could affect nearly two billion people…before 2050.Yet water is still abundant in unspoiled regions of the planet. The wetlands.These wetlands are crucial to all life on Earth. They represent six percent of the Planet. Marshes are sponges that regulate the flow of water. They absorb it in the wet season and release it in the dry season. The water runs off the mountain peaks, carrying with it the seeds of the regions it flows through. This process gives birth tounique landscapes, where the diversity of species is unequaled in its richness. Under the calm water lies a veritable factory where this ultimately linked richness and diversity, patiently filters the water and digests all the pollution. Marshes are indispensable environments for the regeneration and purification of water.These wetlands were always seen as unhealthy expanses, unfit for human habitation. In our race to conquer more land, we have reclaimed them as pasture for our livestock, or as land for agriculture or building. In the last century, half of the world’s marshes were drained. We know neither their richness nor their role.All living matter is linked. Water, air, soil, trees. The world’s magic is right in front of our eyes.Trees breathe groundwater into the atmosphere as light mist. They form a canopy that alleviates the impact of heavy rains and protects the soil from erosion. The forests provide the humidity that is necessary for life. They are the mother and father of rain. The forests store carbon. They contain more than all the Earth’s atmosphere. They are the cornerstone of the climatic balance on which we all depend.Trees provide a habitat for three-quarters of the planet’s biodiversity—that is to say, of all life on Earth. Every year, we discover new species we had no idea existed—insects, birds, mammals. These forests provide the remedies that cure us. The substances secreted by these plants can be recognized by our bodies. Our cells talk the same language. We are of the same family.Mangroves are forests that step out onto the sea. Like coral reefs, they are a nursery for the oceans. Their roots entwine and form a shelter for the fish andmollusks that come to breed. Mangroves protect the coasts from hurricanes, tidal waves and erosion by the sea. Whole peoples depend on them. Yet, they were reduced by half during the 20th century. One of the reasons for the ongoing disaster is these shrimp farms installed on the mangroves’ rich waters. Ventilators aerate pools full of antibiotics to prevent the asphyxiation of the shrimps, not that of the mangroves.Since the 1960s, deforestation has constantly gathered pace. Every year, 13 million hectares of tropical forest an area the size of Illinois—disappear in smoke and as lu mber. The world’s largest rain forest, the Amazon, has already been reduced by 20%. The forest gives way to cattle ranches or soybean farms. Ninety-five percent of these soybeans are used to feed livestock and poultry in Europe and Asia. And so, a forest is turned into meat.When they burn, forests and their soils release huge quantities of carbon, accounting for 20% of the greenhouse gases emitted across the globe. Deforestation is one of the principal causes of global warming. Thousands of species disappear forever. With them, one of the links in a long chain of evolution snaps. The intelligence of the living matter from which they came is lost forever.Barely 20 years ago, Borneo, the fourth-largest island in the world, was covered by a vast primary forest. At the current rate of deforestation, it will have totally disappeared within 10 years. Living matter bonds water, air, earth and the sun. In Borneo, this bond has been broken in what was one of the Earth’s greatest reservoirs of biodiversity.This catastrophe was provoked by the decision to produce palm oil, the most。

法国09记录大片《家园Home》中英文对照字幕和影评本文来源：/shuimu%5Fqing该电影用了18个月时间在50多个国家进行拍摄，2009年6月5日全球电影院、电视台、DVD、互联网首映，免费无版权方式。
官方网站：/us/index.html影评：Mtime一句话影评，wires：超唯美的纪录片，每一分钟的定格都是美丽至极，有的是自然之美、远古之美，但更多的是脆弱之美、邪恶之美、贪欲之美、即将消失之美。
(豆瓣)xoxo:花费15年拍摄的记录片，WOW!片子由我最崇拜的法籍摄影师Yann Arthus-Bertrand拍的，采集了地球上最美的北极、西伯利亚、南极、格陵兰岛、乞力马扎罗山、喜马拉雅山脉、世界大城市上空鸟瞰之景（迪拜、洛杉矶、东京、北京、上海、班加罗尔）、非洲大草原、亚马逊河、马尔代夫等等，以极致诗意化的记录描述，阐释20世纪以来的现代人，是如何打破这一切完美的生态平衡的。
再过50年，我们的地球将面临生态灾难，而这不是科幻小说的情节，因为切切实实地极地冰盖层在加速地消失着，希望大家都能看看这部片子。
(豆瓣)Iris☪(loathe)来，我们给自己写下墓志铭没有完整看简介，看到说导演用了15年，走了50个国家进行拍摄，也好奇豆瓣9.3的高分，于是下了这部《家园》。
影片开头的十几分钟，绚丽的色彩、开阔的俯瞰以及那些自然景观形成的抽象图形和线条让我误以为这是一部歌颂地球和谐美好，大自然鬼斧神工的风光片——我完全错了。
航拍画面平稳推进，背景音乐散发着神秘气息，旁白用第二人称描述人类的时候，仿佛有一种神明的视角与口吻。
当然我们多数人早就被打造成坚定的无神论者了，被问及信仰的时候可以轻蔑地讪笑对方。
没有信仰，于是也没有忌惮，相信人定胜天，相信无限的主观能动性。
即使偶尔搬出神仙们来，也多是为了些自己的琐碎小事。
我们的专注力相当有限，专注于积敛财富，经营舒适生活，追求幸福人生。
当场景从自然变作乡村，变作城镇，最终变成摩天大楼林立的钢筋森林的时候，我一时错觉，仿佛看到科幻片里邪恶力量切入的铺垫。

但只有20万年历史的人类，却快速掌控了这个星球并为所欲为，过度索取资源，打破了亿万年来的固有生态平衡。
在《Home》里面，我们了解到：为了满足日益增长的食物需要，全球一半的谷物用于饲养提供肉类的牲口，生产1公斤牛肉就需要消耗1万3千升的水；为了生产纸浆而砍伐原始森林大量种植桉树，生物的多样性被人为破坏，快速生长的桉树，抽干了地下的水分，快速消耗地球的资源。

纪录片《家园》
剧情简介：导演扬恩·亚瑟花了15年时间筹备，走访50个国家拍摄，由澳洲海底的大堡礁到非洲肯亚高原的乞力马扎罗山；亚玛逊热带雨林到戈壁沙漠；美国德萨斯州连绵不断的棉花田到中国上海的工业城镇。
如诗如画的美景唤醒世人，乐观地珍视我们仍然保有的50%雨林，而非只着眼那失去的一半；更重要是地球60亿人类都应该醒觉，我们的责任所在……卢贝松首度监制，国际名摄影师杨亚祖贝特杭执导的纪录片。
以客观的角度阐述地球的诞生，演变以及地球现今所面临的种种问题！以一幕幕自然漂亮的画面带观众认识美丽的地球，并借此宣扬环保的重要以及迫切性。
自人类出现在地球上的二十万年以来，这个星球历经近四十亿年演化所建立起的平衡，不再井然有序。
我们为此付出的代价太过高昂，但现在不是悲观的时刻- -人类还有十年能扭转这股趋向，了解过去我们巧取豪夺地球丰饶资源的完整真相，并改变人类的消耗模式。
国际摄影大师杨亚祖贝特为我们带来他走访超过五十个国家，全由空中俯瞰所拍摄的独特画面，分享他的惊奇与忧心，他的作品，立下一个我们必将共同重建的浩大工程基石。
地球已追不上人类的欲望——法国环保纪录片《家园》观后感顾训中2009年6月5日，又一个地球环境日。
一部大型环保纪录片《家园》（《HOME——A STUNNING VISUAL PORTRAYAL OF EARTH》）在全球同步上映。
其上映的场合不止在传统的影院、剧场，还有互联网。
这使得这部《家园》转瞬间传遍全球每个角落。
因了朋友的相助，得以在第一时间看到了这部《家园》，感觉或许只有两个字可以形容：震撼！人类欲望的无节制膨胀、我们赖以生存的家园——地球生态的被破坏，这早已不是新鲜的话题。
各种各样的资料、图片、书籍、电视电影片也早已层出不穷。
然而，何以看了《家园》仍感深深震撼？那是因为片中通过航拍而产生的那种从未有过的对那伤痕累累大地的俯视效果，那以独特女声配以直白解说而产生的直指内心的揭示，还有那以咏叹吟诵般的音乐产生的震荡……《家园》是法国生态学家、著名摄影师扬•阿尔蒂斯-贝特朗（Yann Arthus Bertrand）的杰作，是他那对人类、对地球那宏大的悲悯心的结晶。

How much do we know about the oceans?36, the industrialized fishing industry dried up the ocean37 and 500 million live in the desert. Water is the ground waterthat has been collected from the rain that fell 25000 years ago 38, the agricultural development in the desert makes water resources short of resourcesWater shortages will affect 2 billion people in 39, 202540, wetlands account for 6% of the land surface, regulating rain water during the rainy season, releasing water during the dry season, rich species, filtering and eliminating harmful pollutants41.

一部让人类哭泣的纪录片《家园》
一部让人类哭泣的纪录片《家园》地球，是宇宙的奇迹，生命的摇篮，人类共同的家园。
她给人类提供生存的空间和资源，使人类在这里生息繁衍。
《家园》（Home），一部筹备15年，跨越50多个国家，动用88000名员工，21个月拍摄完成，史上投资最大的环保纪录片，已被翻译成14种语言，中文周迅配音，非常美、非常棒的记录片。
《家园》是一部由雅安·阿瑟斯-伯特兰执导的纪录片，该片于2009年6月5日在法国上映。
该片讲述了地球的宝贵资源消耗殆尽，珍稀物种灭绝，原始资源奇缺，污染日益严重，人类以及地球的明天将何去何从。
下方为在完整线视频，可点击直接观看：贝特朗和他的团队耗费了一年半时间，遍历整个地球，才得以完成此片。
来自五十多个国家的影像给人类带来了这样一个信息：我们应当认识到人类对地球的残酷掠夺，应当改变我们的消费模式。
演员周迅为了将本片引进中国颇费周折，她为该片的中文版进行了旁白配音。
周迅说：“这是一部震撼人心的纪录片，我在配音的过程里哭了好几次。
第一次看完这个纪录片，我就觉得一定要为这个电影做些什么，一定要让这个纪录片被更多的人看到。
”地球故事我们居住的这个蓝色星球已经存在了45亿年，她孕育出来的万千物种长期一直相互依存。
但只有20万年历史的人类，却快速掌控了这个星球并为所欲为，过度索取资源，打破了亿万年来的固有生态平衡。
在《家园》里面，我们了解到：为了满足日益增长的食物需要，全球一半的谷物用于饲养提供肉类的牲口，生产1公斤牛肉就需要消耗1万3千升的水；为了生产纸浆而砍伐原始森林大量种植桉树，生物的多样性被人为破坏，快速生长的桉树，抽干了地下的水分，快速消耗地球的资源。
过去50年，人类对地球的改变，比前面20万年还要多，令这个美丽的蓝星球千疮百孔：大河断流，资源枯竭；冰川冰冠快速减少，气温上升，气候反常；森林消失，物种灭绝......还列举纽约、拉斯维加斯、洛杉矶、深圳、孟买、东京和迪拜等城市作为管理不善和能源，水及食物被大量消耗的例子。
家园home纪录片 旁白观后感
家园home纪录片旁白观后感《家园》纪录片旁白观后感家园，是每个人心中的向往和归属。
它并不仅仅是一个物理空间，更是一种情感的纽带，一个人与家人共同构建的精神寄托。
日前观看了一部名为《家园》的纪录片，它以独特的方式展现了不同人群的家园故事。
在观后的沉思中，我感受到了人与家园之间不可分割的联系，也对自己家园的珍贵有了更深刻的认知。
纪录片《家园》展示了来自各种背景、不同地区的人们对家园的热爱和追求。
无论是城市的高楼大厦还是乡村的青山绿水，每个人都希望在自己的家园中找到幸福和安宁。
影片中，一位贫困山区的乡村娃娃追寻着她的梦想——成为一名画家；一对年轻夫妇通过创办农家乐来改善家乡的经济环境；一位老人在老后独自在农田辛勤劳作，守护着这片属于自己的土地。
这些故事凝聚了家园的力量，使我意识到家园并不单单是一个居住的空间，它更是一个生活者对生活情感的体现。
家园，意味着根与土地的相融，意味着亲人之间的相互依靠和关爱。
无论是纪录片中的那位乡村娃娃还是老人，家园都是他们奋斗的源动力，让他们有了坚持下去的勇气。
正是因为有了这份无尽的爱和坚持，他们能够跨越苦难和困境，追求自己的价值与意义。
观看这些感人的故事，我深切体会到家园的力量和价值。
它是我们生活中的一部分，也是我们坚持不懈的追求。
家园，是一个文化的载体，一方宏大史诗的写照。
每个家园都有自己独特的文化底蕴和价值观念，它们形成了我们对世界的认知和理解。
纪录片中的故事向我展示了不同地区人们对家园文化传承的努力。
城市中的文化标志和民居建筑、农村中的传统习俗和乡土民歌，每个细节都构成了家园的文化多样性。
正是这种多样性，让家园更富有生命力和吸引力。
观看这部纪录片，《家园》，我对家园的理解有了更为深刻的认识。
我意识到家园不仅仅是一个物理空间，更是一个情感寄托和精神归属。
它是我们的根，是我们前行的动力。
每个人都应该对自己的家园有足够的尊重和关注，珍惜它给予我们的一切。
无论我们身处何处，家园都是我们永远的向往和归宿。

地球已追不上人类的欲望——法国环保纪录片《家园》观后
地球已追不上人类的欲望——法国环保纪录片《家园》观后2009年6月5日，又一个地球环境日。
一部大型环保纪录片《家园》（《HOME——A STUNNING VISUAL PORTRAYAL OF EARTH》）在全球同步上映。
其上映的场合不止在传统的影院、剧场，还有互联网。
这使得这部《家园》转瞬间传遍全球每个角落。
因了朋友的相助，得以在第一时间看到了这部《家园》，感觉或许只有两个字可以形容：震撼！人类欲望的无节制膨胀、我们赖以生存的家园——地球生态的被破坏，这早已不是新鲜的话题。
各种各样的资料、图片、书籍、电视电影片也早已层出不穷。
然而，何以看了《家园》仍感深深震撼？那是因为片中通过航拍而产生的那种从未有过的对那伤痕累累大地的俯视效果，那以独特女声配以直白解说而产生的直指内心的揭示，还有那以咏叹吟诵般的音乐产生的震荡……《家园》是法国生态学家、著名摄影师扬·阿尔蒂斯-贝特朗（Yann Arthus Bertrand）的杰作，是他那对人类、对地球那宏大的悲悯心的结晶。
据说，20年来，贝特朗坚持不懈地在空中拍摄地球生态的变化。
而《家园》就是他经历了15年的准备，经过18个月共217天，穿越54个国家，120个拍摄点的拍摄之后诞生的。
可以想象，片中那一个个精美的镜头，那一句句隽永的解说，都是他和他的团队心血的结晶。
他坦言，“这部纪录片的最大特点就是没有新鲜，没有任何事情不是已知的，不是被人类了解的”，而问题只在于，“我们知道一切，但我们不去正视一切，不去相信一切，而现在摆在全人类面前的问题就是行动，我们仅有10年去改变我们的生活方式，转瞬即逝，并且我们也不知道最后是不是能成功，但我们必须这么做，也必须在这一切之前让大家明白，我们抗争的究竟是什么。
”贝特朗和他的合作者为这部片子确立的核心理念便是：“当我们耗尽自然遗产之后，必须面对的是什么？”当然，《家园》展示的远不止是贝特朗那法国人式的澎湃激情。
