Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With
spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces.
Episode 1: Water
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. This time he explores our complex relationship with water. Visiting spectacular locations in Iceland, the Middle East and India, Iain shows how control over water has been central to human existence. He takes a precarious flight in a motorised paraglider to experience the cycle of freshwater that we depend on, discovers how villagers in the foothills of the Himalayas have built a living bridge to cope with the monsoon, and visits Egypt to reveal the secret of the pharaohs' success. Throughout history, success has depended on our ability to adapt to and control constantly shifting sources of water.
Episode 2: Deep Earth
Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger.
Episode 3: Wind
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind. Travelling to iconic locations including the Sahara desert, the coast of West Africa and the South Pacific, Iain discovers how people have exploited the power of the wind for thousands of years. The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history.
Episode 4: Fire
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain explores man's relationship with fire. He begins by embarking on an extraordinary encounter with this terrifying force of nature - a walk right through the heart of a raging fire. Fire has long been our main source of energy and Iain shows how this meant that the planet played a crucial role in Britain's industrial revolution, whilst holding China's development back. Along the way he dives in a mysterious lake in Oregon, climbs a glacier of salt, crawls through an extraordinary cave in Iran and takes a therapeutic bath in crude oil.
Episode 5: Human Planet
Series in which Professor Iain Stewart looks at how four geological forces have shaped human history. He explores the most recently established force, humans. It's easy to think of the human impact on the planet as a negative one, but as Iain discovers, this isn't always the case. It is clear that humans have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles; the question is, how will the human race use this power?
饰演落魄父亲的威尔史密斯很容易让人联系到《当幸福来敲门》
电视前看大满贯直播时，我总是盼着大小威输，电脑前看这部人物传记片时，却总是盼望大威赢。这就是电影所产生的奇怪效应。
Kenny Rogers《The Gambler》: If you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and know when to run. Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser.
以为是一部望女成凤的心急父亲最终发现真正的成功源自热爱的故事。演着演着又感觉像一个以爱之名，但控制欲极强的老爸最终学会放手的爱的故事。可到了结尾还是落脚在了一个圆满的美国梦上，并强调了理查德的计划完美实现。当然故事确实很打动人，尤其爸爸在女儿落败之刻回到看台，呼应了他永不逃避的承诺。只是看完觉得，成千上万的父母想必都制定过“理查德计划”，甚至未尝不一样逼孩子努力，只是最终被讲述的是那万里挑一的幸运儿。
始终没明白对威尔史密斯的命定父权信仰到底是褒是贬，非常纠结的角色。
回到影片 威尔史密斯拿影帝的作品 把一个有理想有抱负的成熟男人演得不错 虽然我不觉得这是他演技的巅峰 但对于一个成名已久且多次提名的演员 在今年这个竞争不激烈的年份拿了也就拿了。
那段Richard跟大威说小时候自己碰了白人的手，被他们胖揍一顿，可他一回头，自己的父亲已经跑了，我不是个完美的父亲，但我绝对会在任何时候站在我孩子的身后，去保护他们。就这一段，让前面的控制狂父亲一下子被人理解了。
主角是爸爸，所以相对弱化了大小威廉姆斯的部分，却让人不觉得有任何问题，情节完整、内核正确、演员演技更不用多说，还有很多感动：种族的或追求梦想的。恭喜理查德，78页的计划最终全部实现。想看网球、想看教育、想看成长、想看家庭、想看热血、想看励志桥段、想看Will的观众，都能在本片找到那部分精彩。
我是不理解，不明摆着父亲独断鸡娃嘛，成功学就是只要成功了事后怎么bullshit都可以作为金言玉律呗。V&S被撤出junior，以及早早拒绝去pro，要不是有个妈，说不定人家debut还得是18（19/21）呢，还能美其名曰“保护崽/为了孩子好”（虽然过早接触社会确实容易出事，不过这个是竞技体育啊，人家运动员生涯就那么十来年，真就拖得起）。里面母亲对理查德那话挺直击的，理查德是有点ego过头了，女儿没出名前幻想以后怎么成功，真的出名了就怕了，各种拒绝这拒绝那，教教练做事。真的挺不适的，感觉就算富了，精神上还是穷疯了一样。另外，大小威那么成功，那么归功于谁呢，当然不是她们自己，是她们爹Richard，he is the king，佩服佩服。（这关注点确实犯困了
剧本很扎实连贯，美中不足是小威这条线有点弱，或者应该是导演剪辑的锅？喜欢这个剧本不怕揭露Richard的控制狂丑态，明着告诉你他疯狂鸡娃了，俩孩子成功挣大钱了，中间磕磕绊绊妥协调整有没有的反正计划的终极目标大部分实现了。太成功学的东西在豆瓣应该不会受欢迎。
现在的小孩子想法都这么成熟了吗？简直就是人生导师了～
大小威的传奇故事确实不太好写剧本，这俩都太强了，年少成名，顺风顺水，小威更是直接打成了女网goat，不太好找戏剧冲突点。虽然有一些强硬加戏的戏份，但是对温情励志的体育传记电影，这一部已经算很不错的了，不能要求更多了。
2.5。電影對個體自由的振臂高呼到最後也沒擺脫「大棋黨」父親的自以為是，就如同對網球比賽的重現到底也沒擺脫實況錄像的陰影。
传记、励志、家庭、种族，真的是为奥斯卡量身定做，好比前几年的《绿皮书》（但绿皮书至少好看，能看），是拍大小威廉姆斯吗？不，是拍父亲这个角色，拍这两位网球手也是为了写她们父亲，导演完全让位了，这是演员的舞台，导演本身的工作看不出任何特点特色，只是非常非常非常平庸。
很高兴终于可以再次看到威尔史密斯扮演了这种比较严肃的角色，毕竟商业大片很赚钱但也不能一直看，除此之外，每一位小演员的表演都很出色，整个故事平淡无奇，虽然是部工整的流水线传记片，不过还蛮励志的，if you've got a talent, go make something of it。
其实有人会觉得Richard的育儿法就是“鸡娃”，电影里的塑造也看起来ego大得不得了。另个特相似的家长是tiger woods他爹。但是禁不住孩子有天赋，而且跟那些country club白人网球家长比起来，williams一家是打破种族壁垒，通过努力走出贫民区，所以加上了励志的色彩。美国人最喜欢self-made的奋斗故事，满嘴都是我要成功，将来签百万赞助合同，richard那个70多页的培养计划也成了manifestation，梦想照进现实的完美例子。电影基本是个Will Smith奥斯卡冲金片，但是小孩也挺可爱。
现在对美式励志主旋律真没啥感觉了，虽然我还是喜欢传记和体育题材。其实主创也想反映一些深层次问题，肤色、阶层等等，但是这草蛇灰线还是刻意了点。当然，有的比赛场面我还是会有代入感。ps：字幕组不行，桑普拉斯、麦肯罗、桑切斯、卡普里亚蒂等等名字都不知道。
用既有的现实把开头的台词都变成“爽片”式打脸，再以一场著名的失败作结。剧作上对父亲的过分聚焦则让大小威的传奇完全变成了一个天赋决定论的成功学故事，主角本身前后矛盾的行为也被强行美化，这么一群难以捉摸的纸片人物（这两个词组似乎有点矛盾）一来二去，只让人觉得大小威这么打网球还真挺憋屈的。
相当割裂，一方面是实打实的画饼成功的功利主义，一方面拼命把Richard的形象往并不急功近利的方向往回拉。
是那种好看的电影，尤其是人家姐俩是真的强。最后选择的那场比赛也有些心思。
