The documentary's flat and direct narrative style allows me to open a film at any time, and I can immerse myself in the world as the director wants to show with the perspective of the camera, and I can directly turn it off when I don't want to watch it, without being "kidnapped" by the tense and exciting plot.
Moreover, if you want to understand the world, you need a lot of money to travel thousands of miles, and watching a documentary is only a mobile phone that can access the Internet! Oh yes, and a list of recommendations is needed.~
So, today I recommend several travel documentaries for everyone, and they are attached to the platform that can be watched directly without downloading.
01
Nature class
Tracking the Ocean Behemoth
Douban score: 9.2
Platform: bilibili
I'll start with the showdown, nature documentaries I love watching about the ocean the most (those with deep-sea fears can jump straight to the second part too...). ）。
The ocean occupies 71% of the earth's area, but the human understanding of the ocean is less than 5%, and the depth that people can dive is only more than 300 meters, full of puzzles and unknown worlds, which is really fascinating.
This documentary was just released, and I call it the Underwater Travel vlog, because it is common to see the host talking in front of the camera one second, and the camera diving into the water with it the next...
It perfectly presents the survival wisdom of the "big guys" under the sea, such as how the red silk fish use the power of the fish to maneuver with natural enemies when spawning collectively, and how the killer whale population cooperates with each other to drive away the herring swarm...
The most amazing thing is that after looking at it, we will find that the marine life is really a little different from what we thought.-
Those creatures that seem fierce in appearance may actually be very docile or even non-aggressive in nature, such as whale sharks, which have more than 3,000 serrated teeth but are never used for chewing, and most of the food sources are plankton.
And the killer whale, which is cute and looks like a marine giant panda, is the most treacherous and cunning marine killer...
In short, it is a very interesting film, and during the viewing process, my heart is like a bullet screen: wow! It's magical! It can still be done!
In addition, it is also possible to look at it as a marine scenery film.

This one I blew up!!! I've only seen the documentary 5 times, and I'm probably going to watch it again, because I want to take it out every time I'm in a movie... Note: It was the one shot by the French team, not the BBC.
In addition to some simple narration at the beginning and end of the documentary, the middle part is almost pure natural sound with some beautiful and smooth music, and the clever use of camera language presents us with a strange marine world.
You can just drag the progress bar to the middle and look at a few shots, and you may never be able to look away.
Although there is no narration, it is not without a plot, and every shot of the sea creatures are busy with their own affairs, such as predators cleverly disguised hunting, mantis shrimp vs sea crabs, etc., vivid and interesting.
But after seeing it, there will be some sad pictures, such as dolphins entangled in fishing nets, sharks helplessly struggling with shark fins cut off, seas stained red with blood... It also sublimates the theme of marine protection.
In short, many people said after reading it that they would hate humans a little.
South Pacific
Douban score: 9.6

The documentary voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch (Roll Fu), with its glamorous British accent, is simply addictive!
Originally, I opened this film and went to the scenery, but when I looked at it, I found that it was still a story of life related to the ocean, saltwater man-eating crocodiles, white-bellied koalas, robber coconut crabs, trumpets... There are also the Panui people, who have long coexisted with the sea and have a completely different wisdom of survival.
Don't look at this is just a documentary, but the people who watch it will still be comfortable and sometimes heart-wrenching as the story progresses, how beautiful and fragile this blue is.
"The Great Mystery of the Seabed"
Douban has no score
The films produced in 2018 have not been rated so far, and the reviews are mixed, but unlike the types of films recommended earlier, I feel that I can still look at it
The sea actually hides a lot of lost worlds - undersea volcanoes, sunken cities, lost treasures on the seabed, Shipwrecks in World War II... And a wide variety of amazing natural wonders.
The use of extremely advanced technical means to present the ocean world, and after reading it is very knowledgeable, such as how the tsunami earthquake came about, why the ship sank, about the regrettable past of Malaysia Airlines 370, how modern technology will face obstacles from the sea when operating, how the ocean affects human activities (trade, slaves, war, oil...). and so on.
It is relatively lacking in storytelling, and more is the knowledge of science.

Humanities
The Third Pole
Douban score: 9.4
In just 6 episodes, it is the first documentary to reflect how the people of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau get along with the nature of the plateau.
When watching this film, I was reluctant to fast-forward even the opening cutscenes, and every frame was a scenery that could be used as a computer desktop - majestic snow-capped mountains, tall and dense forests with trees, barren Gobi Desert, vast grasslands, bright lakes...
Don't look at it, I don't know how wonderful the life of the Qinghai-Tibetan family is, they gathered in this land of poor living conditions to build their homes by hand, and here they celebrate, race horses, keep bees, worship the faith, make spices and medicines...
The narrative of the whole film is very gentle, but it is full of appeal, and from time to time I can see that my eyes are moist, but I can't say why.
I remember when I was in school, I didn't know how to blow a wind of "going to Tibet to wash the soul", which was quite scornful at the time, but now that I think about it, whether or not foreign travelers can be purified, at least there is a pure land - -
"Only good thoughts are the best companion, and with good thoughts, you will not feel confused and troubled."
In addition, there is also a "Polar Region" recommended by the same kind, with a Douban score of 9.3, bilibili also has a film source, and those who are fascinated by Qinghai-Tibet culture must watch it.
The Reason I Lived Here Seasons 1, 2 and 3
Douban score: 9.3/9.2/8.6
This documentary is simply magical, there is no script at all, the production budget is pitiful, the director Ryo Takeuchi, the host of the Chinese-Japanese actor Abe, to visit the Chinese living in Japan, to explore their reasons for living in a foreign land, and before the filming began, Abe Li only knew about the home address of the interviewee...
The interviewees came from all walks of life, including international students, office workers, craftsmen, sumo wrestlers, and mama Sang (!?). ), cleaners, teachers, models, painters, directors, etc. and so on.
Because there is no script, it is particularly real, and very relaxed and enjoyable, much more natural than many so-called "reality shows"... Careful consideration can also see the epitome of a certain type of social group from the daily life of the protagonist, full of philosophy of life.
The first and second seasons of The Museum of Curiosity
Douban score: 9.2/9.3
If you want to learn about art, this is a complete treasure documentary!
The form of the documentary is to let the comedians stand in the picture frame to imitate the facial dialogue of the person in the painting, and let the audience understand the story background, author, artistic value, etc. of the painting in a witty and humorous way, without any old-fashioned preaching, which is simply not too interesting.
Each episode is about 2 to 5 minutes, and 3 episodes introduce a world famous painting for a unit, which is short and concise. Japanese short drama cartoons are called instant noodles, and I feel that this can also be called instant noodles, which is very suitable for watching in between time such as going to the toilet, waiting for the car, and touching fish at work

Gastronomy
Journey into the Unknown Seasons 1 to 10
Douban score: all above 9 points
If you open this film, congratulations, you won't be bored for quite some time to come, because - this documentary has been filmed for 10 seasons! Each one has a score of 9 or more, and the quality is really excellent.
Anthony Bourdain is undoubtedly a very attractive host and foodie, seemingly leading people to travel around the world to eat and drink, but in fact it is still through the theme of food to illustrate the very different customs and customs of each region.
And this film will also give you some surprises from time to time, such as the guest of the episode in Hanoi, Vietnam is Obama; Bourdon also ran to Chengdu to make his star chef partner too hot to speak...
Although I have filmed many seasons, I am also slowly tasting this film when the baby is slowly tasting, because it is a pity that Bourdain committed suicide in 2018, and the documentary refuses to have a new one, and watching one episode is one less. Alas, maybe life is a suffering that cannot be cured by travel and food.
Street Food Fighter Seasons 1 and 2
Douban score: 9.3/9.5
The famous Korean gourmand Uncle Baek Jong-won led all the friends to eat street food around the world!
Because they are all shooting on the street, the whole film is full of thick fireworks, especially with Uncle Bai's gentle and kind smile, a variety of colors and fragrances, and a full of artistic shooting and editing techniques, in addition to making people salivate, it is more warm and healing
It is worth mentioning that Uncle Bai went to many Chinese cities, the first episode is Chengdu, and later Hong Kong, Xi'an, Harbin, Taipei...
It's no secret, the last time I lost weight, I naively wanted to watch this documentary to relieve my hunger, and the result... As a result, weight loss failed.
