Two days ago, Uncle Meat saw a problem on Zhihu -
What does an animal look like when it gets drunk?
A netizen named @Zhu Qichao mentioned a documentary in his reply, saying that it filmed the animals drunk.
You can imagine
The two monkey brothers are shaking and fluttering drunkenly
Does the ostrich's big long neck twitch like a leather whip?
You've seen it
Is the elephant lying completely on the ground with a smile on its face?
It sounded funny to die, and Uncle Meat hurried to look for it. Sure enough --
When the animals eat a fruit called Marula, Marula ferments in the stomach to form beer... The entire wilderness seconds become a large discotheque.
Giraffes and warthogs step on sneaky dance steps;
Dancing King is definitely an ostrich, you see this space step more than 666;
A baboon wants to go to the toilet and crashes head-on the washstand;
There was also a staring dog pulling at the leaves in front of him;
Crooked, crooked, zero, come and sweep away the yellow and fight the wrong;
This elephant, which poses in a yoga posture and continues to swallow fruit while laughing foolishly, is a true portrayal of Uncle Meat after he is drunk!
The clip is from the 1974 documentary Animals Are Beautiful People.
Don't look at the age, Douban's 9.5 rating (better than 98% of documentaries) tells you that it is not simple.
It has a rough picture, and it does not have the slow motion and super macro that are indispensable for the current documentary, but Uncle Meat has watched the whole hahaha and turned his head to meet people.
How did I miss it before!!!
Documentaries that anthropomorphize animals are certainly not uncommon, such as Uncle Meat's "There are spies in the penguins" that Uncle Meat brushed several times.
But the narrator like "Cute Animals" opened the spit mode throughout the whole process, and the one with the bullet screen was the first time to see it.
Just by listening to the sound, you can imagine the narrator's disgusted face behind the screen.
He calls coyotes "garbage pickers" because coyotes often steal leftover food from lions:
Fortunately, he is not the king of the desert, because he is indeed a nasty ghost
He was cowardly and despicable
Frequent drooling
Likes to roll on rotten things and only giggles
Say storks are ugly:
They originally belonged to an elegant ethnic group, but they have been eating dead bodies for a living since tens of millions of years ago
This makes them look more and more like a bunch of frustrated people
Wearing a very vulgar dress, not very good-looking face, a false benevolence and false righteousness
It seems that Mimi is always whispering bad things about other animals
In the desert, a snake circles to scare the elephant, and he turns on the taunt mode:
He pretends to be fierce, but he can't bite him (the elephant)
Otherwise his enemies will find out he has no teeth...
But this snake is indeed an acting school, you see he actually scared a baboon on the spot...
As for the various insects in the jungle, the narrator has completely let go of himself, and his brain has helped them to name each flower:
A "German Hound with a wagging tail";
"Long-haired hippies";
"Puffy, lazy people who eat too much";
And this one is "the drugged weirdo"...
Although the mouth is cheap, I have to say that it is really a good image!
Of course, the narrator not only complained, a duck vs coyote confrontation, he said it was so nervous and exciting.
In order to get the duckling safely to the river, the mother duck began her performance.
She rattled and walked toward the coyote, grabbing his attention and pretending to be injured and struggling.
She had gone a little too far, because she couldn't let the coyotes find her child
When the coyotes mistakenly thought that the victory was in hand and approached her, she immediately rushed into the water, leaving the coyotes on the shore with a confused face.
For a moment, the coyote wondered if she was playing fake
It's not over yet. After entering the water, the attacking mother duck began the second round of performances.
She fluttered and struggled in the water, convincing the coyotes again that he could easily succeed, so he followed her into the shallow water.
At this time, the coyote only had a mother duck in his eyes, and he did not know that a group of ducklings were behind him, quietly diving into the water.
When the duckling swam safely through the shallow water and found a hiding place, the mother duck immediately "miraculously" returned to normal. A fierce son disappeared without a trace in front of the coyotes' eyes.
Left on the surface of the water again to probe the brain, began to doubt the coyotes of life.
There is also a section that Uncle Meat likes very much, a small warthog that escaped from the mouth of an Indian leopard, whose life was saved, but also lost.
He wandered around in a strange place, trying to find someone to adopt him.
When you have a face that only your mom likes, it's not easy to get someone to adopt
The baby warthog rubs to the side of the fawn, and the fawn chooses to silently go offline;
I want to be close to the porcupine set with the word "pig" in the name, and the result is greeted by the other party with an ass;
I'm just passing by, who are you scaring with your teeth and claws!
I've looked at this picture 20 times, and who can tell me what kind of animal it is
In the end, the only thing that wanted to accompany him was a piece of rotten wood... You can feel the sadness of the little warthog across the screen.
After watching this, have you been able to get a rough idea of the style of this documentary?
But Uncle Meat wants to say that "Cute Animals" is not only good-looking, but also good to listen to.
Its soundtrack does not take the grand route, but according to the personality of different animals, with different styles of BGM - coyotes are obscene, mongooses are dexterous, pangolins are leisurely...
The soundtrack also matches the animal's every move throughout. For example, this monkey flipping head scene, the monkey flips fast and dexterous, BGM is passionate;
The camera turns to these stupid monkeys who are not very good at turning over, and the previous one is not on the same channel, and the BGM also slows down in time;
As for these lazy guys who slid down directly, BGM is accompanied by drum beats, so that you can feel their ass being grinded and hurting.
It can be said that it is 666 played more than the recent "Extreme Car Thief".
"Cute Animals" is also different from other documentaries. In addition to animals, the film also introduces a group of magical people.
The only human being in the Kalahari Desert, the Bushman.
They are one of the most primitive races in the world, the shortest woman is only about 1.38 meters, and the highest man is not more than 1.60 meters.
The bushmen do not live in tribes, but in small families, wandering around the desert.
They have the most special way of sleeping in the world — with their elbows propped in the sand and their heads resting on their shoulders, in this tired-looking position until dawn.
Because of the fear of lying down and sleeping, the little bugs in the sand will burrow into the ears.
Bushmen are genius imitators.
Older people use gestures and onomatopoeia to teach children to recognize animals.
Let's say this is a giraffe:
This is an antelope:
Guess what animal this is?
Hahaha ostrich.
Just ask if you are satisfied.
They only live in deserts, grasses, and animals, so they have an innate sense of intimacy with nature.
Sometimes, they will cosplay into hot-eyed female ostriches and lure the egg-guarding male ostrich away from the nest.
But most of the time, this behavior ends with the bush people protecting the chrysanthemums and fleeing into the wilderness.
Of course, they also have nemesis, more despicable messenger birds than them.
Basically, that's how the messenger bird plays with bushmen—
Each time the bushman carries a homemade hunting tool, he quietly approaches the zebra/antelope and pulls the bow;
The messenger bird standing on the top of the tree counted the timing, "Wow ~~~~~ " A sound...
How deeply this beam is knotted, feel the murderous eyes in this lament.
These bush people with their own sense of comedy not only appear in this documentary, but also appear in the famous comedy series "God Is Crazy".
I don't know if you remember, the whole story begins with a Coke bottle that fell from the sky and landed in the bush people's residential area.
Not surprisingly, the directors of the two films are the same person, the South African, Jamey Youis.
This grandfather has not made many films, but each one is inseparable from the desert, indigenous and primitive nature of his hometown.
"Dirkie" is the story of a young boy with a dog who struggles to survive in the heart of the desert because of a plane crash.
Under the lens of Garme Youis, the terrible and desperate desert becomes gentle and interesting.
Shota in the film is the director's son, and the director himself has appeared on camera
The indigenous people in the film may not be pleasing in appearance, but they are simple and kind at heart; on the contrary, those "civilized people", full of fame and profit, do not care about the life and death of their children at all, and only want to use this lost story to stir up the news.
The reason for photographing a large desert is that Euis is originally a super love of nature.
If he didn't have any important work, he would leave Johannesburg, where he lived, and live on a small island by the sea in the suburbs. There was no electricity for many years, and it was illuminated by candles and kerosene lamps.
In addition to being a director, he also has the status of an amateur botanist and even owns a herbarium of his own.
Garme Yuys's attitude toward "modernization" is more evident than in God Is Crazy.
Before this Coke bottle, which represented "civilized society", fell from the sky, the indigenous people had no sense of ownership, and they lived in an environment with nothing to argue about, only trees and grass and animals.
They live in a gentle world, no stones, no reinforced concrete. The hardest thing they've ever seen was wood and bone.
These people have the greatest respect for nature, and they are part of nature.
Until this Coke bottle from "civilized society" disrupted the life of the bush people. For the first time, they began to fight with each other for this bottle, and they were bleeding.
In Uyce's view, modern people build cities, houses, means of transportation, and machines, racking their brains for "laziness and convenience". We are not willing to succumb to the natural environment, but instead want the environment to accommodate us.
The more you want to improve your living environment, the more complicated your life becomes.
Children are forced to spend 10, 15 years in school learning how to survive in this complex and dangerous environment. Every day we are bound by the rules and regulations we make ourselves, and we want to escape but can't.
Civilized people who are not willing to succumb to nature must now adapt to the environment they have created with their own hands... Ironic?
At the end of "Cute Animals", there is a sudden rainstorm.
This long-lost rainstorm seems to have rescued the desert that has been dried up for a long time, but strangely, these animals just sit silently on the ground, passively waiting for the rain to come, without any happiness.
They seemed to have known in advance that the rain would get heavier and fiercer, and a flood would follow.
Floods washed away the animals' homes, and all the animals had to lie on driftwood to survive.
The difference is that torrential rains and floods will eventually fade, but human greed will never know what to do.
