INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
叙事结构类似于《摔跤吧爸爸》，因为太熟悉大小威看到2/3才察觉，察觉的原因在于有些夸大普通人对天才少女的关注度，大小威在网球场上最大的关注点应该是肤色，业内人士及经纪人、体育商对她们的关注倒是可以理解。美国电影产业的成熟度体现在他们已经熟练掌握了如何把这类传记电影拍的吸引人、打动人，虽然很流水线化，但也的确打动我了，尤其想到姐妹俩在赢球后总会像公主一样致谢全场的场景，会觉得她们值得这样的宠爱。当然本片主角是理查德，之所以叫国王，因为他独断专权，想为女儿做一切决定，不愿意受任何人牵制，但有今天的成绩，和他的坚持密不可分。
这么平的剧情，这么浅薄的人物塑造，我觉得这一届的奥斯卡男主大概率是九字了。
这个片子算是挤进奥斯卡的片子里比较离谱的，我看了一圈没看懂Richard哪里牛逼了，感觉成功全靠大小威天资过人，黑人照这么个方法鸡娃估计成功一次背后会有999个家庭在捡垃圾，反而是母亲的角色很慈爱，堪称伟大女性；那天不知道在哪里看的很有意思，说黑人（成功）靠奋斗，白人靠偏执，当黑人开始偏执，白人开始奋斗（Hillbilly Elegy）观众就不容易relate了；感觉是CODA请的陪衬
由此可证，鼓励式育儿是对的，对小孩严格一点也是对的，努力学习更是对的！毕竟真的没有谁能随随便便成功啊～
如果不是出身寒微，人是很难把生命能力集中到一点去爆发出来，没有多余的选择，才能迫使人全力以赴做绝一件事。但这片正能量、政治正确但说教都太“用力”了。给三颗星，差不多了，太用力这件事不怪演员，是大环境氛围的问题，使劲往“奥斯卡奖”上挤过去，这真的不太好，用力过猛了。
但，他们有，而且每一个在世的都仍然在电影世界坚持着
体育或者传记片本来就容易扑，这部体育人物的传记片，隐隐约约就是最无聊最公式的那一种。
3.5；就很好萊塢公式…沒有驚喜、也不平淡、就這樣結束了。故事是好看的，演技也無庸置疑的好。結尾放的真人照片和影像，確實很加分，可惜這個題材已經玩臭了。
其实主人物改编类型电影做到这样已经算成功了 它本身偏重的就是理查德而不是他的两个冠军女儿 而电影为了避免走偏也已经隐去了很多大小威的剧情 特别是小威 论成就来讲小威要比她姐姐出色得多但电影显然不是讲他们两个的 如果这个人物在性格塑造上的复杂性与多重性上引起足够讨论 那我觉得这就是主人物传记电影的成功了 至于必要性从来都不是传记电影的矛盾点 但有一说一 这的确就是史皇的骗奖片 你看他演得多卖力啊。。影帝也不是不可以 这种电影放到这个年代只能说是有点过时 要是放在四五十年前 这肯定是学院派最喜欢的那类电影 题外话 我看网球比较多那几年对威爸真的一点印象都没有 相反她们的妈总是会出现在看台上 发型和服饰都格外瞩目 笑死
有威爾史密斯在，整部片就像服了定心丸一樣。可以說是非裔版我和我的冠軍女兒，現實中的冠軍姊妹也有親自擔綱監製，力求做到不違背史實的真人真事描寫。跟阿米爾罕的冠軍女兒一樣，有衝破階級的反叛、嚴厲的父愛，外加身在美國的種族隔閡。電影著重在大小威廉斯成名前的過程，一般體育電影是越多賽事越能呈現角色的蛻變，這部的賽事反而非常少，除了是父親本人的堅持外，也是為了要襯托不鳴則已，一鳴驚人的話題性，準備好了再上場，為了避開小時了了大未必佳的循環，威廉斯古怪又大男人的教育方式讓人看的又恨又癢，影片著重在家庭、訓練過程，家庭佔最大幅度，父親大男人主義式的教育方式，影片也透過妻子一角適度給出批判，讓孩子抉擇自己的人生該怎麼走，基本上算是合體的體育勵志片，在贏之前，仍然要體會過失敗的滋味，才知道下一次該怎麼贏。
{★★★} Will Smith凭借一个爹味角色与颁奖礼上的爹味行为获得奥斯卡殊荣，学院嘉奖的到底是哪一个爹？看完这部电影后我明白了：是戏外的爹。且不说Fences就剖击过相似的黑人爹，对中国人来说他显然不会是什么陌生人物--短评区遍地哀嚎的鸡娃PTSD就是证据。但随着年龄增长，我越来越能理解这些父亲，一个没什么选择的年代教会了他们剥夺孩子的选择，但这不代表我认可他们的行为。就像历史证明Richard Williams的教育是奏效的，不代表那是正确的。
我还蛮喜欢的励志燃情，《打网球吧，爸爸！》史皇很稳定。稳定也是一种退步吧？
体育励志片确实美国人拍得热血，当然商业痕迹也很明显了。说起来是Richard为主角但总感觉Venus占了一大部分。应该更多展现Richard的决心和内心吧。说到商业痕迹，将Richard塑造如此，确实有美化嫌疑，体育片都有这个问题。是否可以期待一下小威的传记片？
特别普通的一部奥斯卡制作，连结尾专门选了一场大威没赢的比赛都很刻意。 人家姐妹俩本身不比这电影好看。
经过努力获得成功，好像已经不管用了，只想捂着耳朵逃跑，边逃边叫“好了好了我知道了！”
小李评分：6.6
很平平无奇的传记片，威尔就像那种最普通的父亲，拼了老命一直给孩子提供各种可能性。
Hmm...故事本身沒什麼毛病，只有雞娃和自負讓人不適
#95thAcademyAwards# 全程都是饱满激昂的情绪…女儿从出生前就被决定的命运，Richard Williams总让我想起水树奈奈的父亲。
竞技体育传记电影已经挺老套了，还是个父权视角……
