学习如何在日益拥挤的星球上生存也许是我们人类的终极挑战，但有一个地方，拥有的世界人口六分之一印度，人们却特别适应生活在这么拥挤的土地上。这个系列高清纪录片将带我们进入印度最密集的地区加尔各答和孟买，了解这里人们的生活现状及生存压力。
BBC 2012年播出，用3集记录印度的底层人如何在人多地少的环境中工作。印度现在有人口 12亿，占世界的六分之一，每个家庭都有很多孩子，对于穷人来讲，这可是一个很大的负担，看看印度人是如何在他们的国土上为了生活奋斗的。
Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works.
With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds.
Part 1.
This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future.
Part 2.
Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics.
Part 3.
With India destined to become the most populous nation on earth by 2026, you have got to be highly tactical in your search for a better life. It is not just about you and your dreams today - it is about the family over generations to come. Prakash and Mangesh are brothers in their early twenties from an illegal settlement surrounded by the buzz of downtown Mumbai. Prakash is deckhand on a yacht while striving to realise his dream and launch a Bollywood career. But his family make it clear his sole purpose is to earn enough to fund in their joint future: his brother Mangesh's course in software engineering. Swapan, a merchant in a hectic fish market, works so hard for his family's future that his wife knows he is ruining his health. And Sujit, who crafts disposable clay tea cups in Kolkata, hardly dares dream of seeing his family hundreds of miles away.
得了艾伦·索金躁狂症，实在是受不了这套了……
这种本子对于艾伦索金那不是信手拈来，这种以小见大的剧作格式也已经做过很多次了，当然他的及格分就已经能踩在大多数本子之上，尤其是最后一场戏，单就一集情景喜剧的开场戏的版本争论，就可以倒扣回整个片子最核心探讨的两大问题，家庭与事业，这种巧思和设计真的十分厉害，但是能否请一个好导演来导？本身索金剧本的一大特点就是信息量爆炸，好的导演会通过合理的调度和镜头去谱写一个合适的戏剧节奏，但是索金永远只能在封闭空间里用正反打，轰炸式地喷射台词，这种枯燥的镜头和对话只会让观众迅速感到疲惫，因为必须得抓紧每一句台词才可以去参透整个文本的表达，这种纯粹紧绷的状态并不好受。而最后那么好的一场戏，也只能继续复刻之前七君子就用过的手段（推一个人物特写，淡出声音，大吊臂往上拉并且出字幕黑屏），只求来个导演救救索金吧
得了艾伦·索金躁狂症，实在是受不了这套了……
传记绝大都挺闷的，这部勉强还能看的下去，主要是女主挺像我一位女领导，偏执的追求完美，让旁人压力巨大。不过与女主不同的是婚姻里我领导挺委曲求全，而女主对婚姻要求更刚更纯粹
這是在曾經觀看過無數次《我愛露西》歡笑的回憶裡最好的精神安慰。
妮可演得很卖力，但影片糟糕的妆发和大量的闪回让她这个角色显得很莫名奇妙，尤其是妆发放大了她和露西的年龄差，显得很违和，二封很吃力；反倒是哈维尔·巴登，人物形象更立体更清晰，成熟男人的魅力从举止谈吐间显露，着实迷人。
艾伦索金怎么不管拍什么都能拍出一股勤能补拙的吃苦劲儿，完全没必要。
食之无味，弃之可惜。艾伦索金在立项的时候真的觉得除了沉浸在旧时光走不出来的业内人士之外，有人会对这个故事有兴趣吗？即便再工整的放大情感也显得很无趣啊，就像丈夫完美的解决社会舆论后仍被妻子发现了两个口红印一样的稀松平常。
真好。
颁奖季电影看多了 越来越不理解很多电影得以制作的目的。。。
剧情太平淡了，姬得满阿姨在众多口碑上佳的作品中，这部实属表现平平
原本以为全片会围绕着Lucille Ball的“共产主义”倾向展开论述和思辨，结果开头点一下，结尾回一下(拉出个胡佛背书)，就这样……？
艾伦索金一出手就证明自己是世界上最会讲故事的编剧之一，人物形象塑造十分立体，剧情主线副线穿插节奏把握完美，夹杂过程中的铺垫，结尾处的亮剑同样刺得又快又准。以及妮可这个角色是我近期看过的唯一一个没有原谅丈夫出轨的女性，点个赞。
剪辑有点乱，夹杂的那些回忆有点过于累赘了。但是妮可基嫚的表演是蛮惊喜的。
意识形态与道德审判近些年成为一股强大的波涛。敢于硬钢的人必定被拍死，于是艺术作品也大多选择妥协，而这种妥协伴随着很多潜藏的个人意识与价值选择。也许，思想领域也需要一个突变与新生吧！
讲故事的顺序太乱了，两位主演挺好。妮可演原型人物的时候甚至比她本人在戏外女神的样子还要有魅力
D— / 在「七君子」中索金满溢的情绪和配合着粗暴但有效的剪辑，达到了超出其本身导演能力的表达效果，而今剪辑仍保持着某种节奏进行，却陷入混乱而自说自话的表达中。观感和「曼克」无异。
演员确实很好，但和电影品质没关系，完全为了冲演技而设计的片子，颁奖季特供
#女性主义
在当今流行的女权或者说女性主义里，相当多的作品是以一种男女对立甚至是男性犯罪的角度来描绘的。鲍尔有才又有勇，尤其是在丈夫帮她解决“共产主义分子”身份时，她还是冷静克制的直面丈夫，告诉他自己发现了他出轨的事实。在那个年代里，女性的能力无法得到完全展现，就如同她改的未播出剧情，但在婚姻中，决不妥协。
