时间的风景 TimeScapes (2012)

The documentary is just like a collection of shooting works, which are made into a movie. Beautiful, each frame is frozen as an extremely beautiful picture. When the blue sky turns into the universe and clouds into pink marshmallows, you can feel pleasant and free like your sweat, and you can do nothing but praise the beauty of nature.

Time is originally an abstract concept, but the director expresses it with specific things: the starry sky, sunrise, waters and so on, making the time touchable for the audience. Watching the stars shine in the sky, the sun rises from horizon line and water flows down from the mountains, we can conscientiously feel the elapse of time. At first look, it might be beautiful, but its real content is desolate. I did not feel so much but aesthetic sense at first watch. But it is at the second time when I watched it by fast-forward method, the sense that time takes you ahead was realized. When you want to die or want to live, this documentary should be chosen for appreciating. Besides, the soundtrack is really sad. You can see what has happened in different spaces at the same time, and also, how a space changes in different times. From the universe, the starry sky to specific human beings, all of them are “dancing” along with time.

As for the scenery about time, the director elongated the time axis of time lens, showing the audience minor changes that they usually pay no attention to. There are so many beautiful images, so I will choose to describe several ones that are easier to remember:

The young girl who dances with the music, the space detection station that moves in accordance with the changes of galaxies in space, they have combined human’s dance and universe’s dance together. With the music, epinephrine is secreted with

In the second scene, lens goes closely to the river and quickly moves in the valley along with the direction of the water flow. A series of dynamic beauty provides us a sense of urgency and curiosity.

Time Scapes - the name itself has expressed all the content.

这部纪录片就像将一本摄影作品，做成了一部电影。很美，每一帧定格下来都是一副极美的图片，看天空如何变成宇宙，看白云如何变成粉红色的棉花糖，自然真的是极美的，就像人的汗水真的是极畅快淋漓的，当平日里习以为常的蓝天在眼中变成宇宙。
时间本来是抽象的概念，导演用具象的事物：星空、日出、流水等让观者体会时间究竟是什么东西。当你仰望星空、看太阳升起、看水从山上流下时，才能切切体会时间的流逝。可能有一丝丝美，但是背后却是悲凉。第一遍看，没有太多感觉，顶多是唯美感。第二遍，跳着看时，时间带着你走的那种变化才真切体会出来。当你想死或者想活的时候，都可以看看这部纪录片。这配乐实在悲凉。同一时间下，不同空间发生了些什么；不同时间里，同一空间又有什么变化。从宇宙星空到具象中的人，是怎么跟随时间而“舞动”的。
时间的风景，将时间镜头的时间轴拉长，让观众看到平时不注意的轻微的变化，很美的画面很多，挑几幅比较容易记住的场景描述一下：
随着音乐扭动的美少女，和随着太空星系变化的太空侦测台的扭动，将人类和宇宙的舞动出奇的结合到了一起，随着音乐，肾上腺素一同分泌。
第二个场景是镜头贴着河面，随着河流一同在河谷中快速移动，一系列的动态美，给人紧迫，好奇的感觉。

时间的风景，名字本身就韵味了一切。
