一个由澳大利亚电视制作人Peter Rees开创的Discovery Channel电视系列。他发掘了主创的Jamie和Adam二人组。这是一个记录片形式的电视系列剧,大概可以划到"揭密/科学试验/特技"一类。由主持人Jamie和Adam两人为观众揭露/戳穿当代街头巷尾流传的各种“神话”的秘密。 每一集的内容包含3个“神话”,内容包括各种互联网上的谣传,一些在社会上广为流传的伪“常识”,历史事件等等,但更多的还是与好莱坞电影上常见的一些镜头有关。比如:在加油站打手机到底会不会引发爆炸;电影里面的人被一群匪徒追杀,跳到水里就不会被子弹打伤,这是否可信;传说中杀人不留痕迹的“冰子弹”到底是否可行;富兰克林的风筝实验是否真实;人的叫声能否击碎玻璃;(像电影上那样)开枪能否把门锁打烂……等等。
Less than 55 years ago, Dubai International Airport was a vast desert of sand. But today, it is a modern mecca of international air travel. With 344,000 flights, 57 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo flying in and out each year, it is the world’s third busiest airport for international passengers. National Geographic Channel go behind-the-scenes of Dubai International’s three massive terminals, including Terminal 3 – the largest building on earth by floor space, measuring 359 football pitches in size! With unprecedented access to all facets of this mega facility, the series follows some of the 60,000 staff working hard to keep it safe, secure, and on schedule. From Air Traffic Control handling emergency landings, customs intercepting suspected drug smugglers and engineers taking apart multi-million dollar jets to dealing with late flights and angry passengers, cargo headaches and even the construction of brand new USD$3.2 billion dollar terminal, NGC provides a 360-degree view of this “ultimate airport.”
Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
七十年代轰动中国的纪录片,亿万国人记忆中的奋斗精神!在河南省的最北端,一个被称为林县的名不见经传的小地方因为一条水渠而闻名全国。这条悬崖峭壁上开凿的总长1500公里的大渠,被人们称为人造天河,它叫红旗渠。有一部与这条水渠同名的电影详细记录了当时修建的过程并于1971年在全国播出。红旗渠从1960年开始动工,一修十年,而电影《红旗渠》也跟拍了十年。拍摄这部纪录片的电影人制作了他们电影生涯中耗时最长、投入最多的一部纪录电影。十年间到底有多少人参加了《红旗渠》的摄制已经说不清楚,但在十年中他们共留下了一万多尺胶片。当年,周恩来总理曾自豪地对国际人言说,新中国有两个奇迹:一个是南京长江大桥、一个是林县红旗渠。
