简介：导演:DavidDougla编剧:德鲁·菲尔曼主演:摩根·弗里曼/PatriciaWright类型:纪录片制片国家/地区:美国语言:英语上映日期:2014-04-04片长:39分钟IMDb链接:tt3231010 纪录片主要讲述马达加斯加岛上的野生狐猴，用镜头还原狐猴真实习性。由著名黑人演员摩根·弗里曼担任旁白解说。 马达加斯加狐猴之岛电影网友评论：「Lemursarethemostancientprimatealivetoday.Thewordlemurmeans"wanderingspirit."」「FatebroughtthelemurstoMadagascar.Butthey''llneedmorethanlucktosurvivemuchlonger.They''llneedhelp.」「ThemoreIgettoknowlemurs,themoreIlovethem.—PatriciaWright」「Lemurshaveamiraculousstory.Nowit''suptoustokeepitalive.Afterall,thebeststoriesinnaturearetheonesthatneverend.」【♫IWillSurvive♫】影片很短，但拍摄得极美。严格来讲，这部纪录片所要表现的不是马达加斯加狐猴的繁衍生息，而是为了表现当前最高技术下IMAX极其完美的画面。至于藏于世外桃源马达加斯加的狐猴倒成了可有可无的陪衬品了，反正也是表现IMAX镜头的美感,导演便选中了这块生机盎然的动植物天堂,当然还有生活在天堂中的狐猴。简短的纪录片，不罗嗦简明扼要叙述了马达加斯加上的狐猴，地球真是一个物种多样性的地方，不得不感叹大自然造物的神奇，片中提到狐猴是灵长类动物最早出现在地球上的生物，也就是说也许我们是狐猴演化过来的，世界上总是需要一群正能量的人来保护各类动物，我们还是遵循大自然的规则吧，让世界更美好些这部由摩根弗里曼担任解说的纪录片，主要介绍马达加斯加的狐猴，从该片中了解到了狐猴是怎么到这个岛上的，它们在岛上的发展史，目前面临的危机，主要的种类，目前科学家为保护它们所做的努力，从中也可以感受到马岛壮丽的风光，动画马达加斯加里逗比的狐猴老大和饱受压迫的小狐猴跟班也在片中有出现哦讲的是科学家在马达加斯加保护狐猴-这种最古老的灵长类动物的故事。画面清晰亮丽，展现马达加斯加原始森林迷人的美丽，可惜人类不断烧荒开拓田地，狐猴面临灭绝的危险。幸好科学家建立国家公园来保护它们，正如片尾所说-永不终结的故事才是自然界最美好的故事。#画面优美而有震撼力，生动的多角度镜头，生动地捕捉了狐猴的生活情景与内心感受，非洲舞蹈般的音乐，更是令画面的现场感更加有穿透力。伴随平缓温柔的讲述，这个世界展开着亲切与迷人的美丽——2017端午节影片一共40分钟，相当于一集电视剧，摩根弗里曼当解说，按照动物世界，人与自然的角度与习惯看，这次对于狐猴的猎奇并没有多专注，而是把更多笔墨放在了自然和谐，寻求保护上，可怜这帮可爱的小家伙们了…算是环保纪录片吧，狐猴的样子都很萌很可爱，电影配乐也是明快的非洲风情，看上去更像是旅游集锦，马达加斯加很漂亮，摩根弗里曼配音，声音很磁性，扼...貌似就是这样子了。第一次认识那么多狐猴品种，超萌！一个镜头，一只狐猴像狮子王一样爬上“荣耀岩”背景音乐出现了《查拉图斯特拉如是说》我当时噗嗤了笑出声，穿越到了《2001太空漫游》真心冲着费大爷的迷人嗓音来的，马达加斯加，美丽的地方。环境情况也令人堪忧。总之尽量付出行动保护身边的环境吧，希望自己的后代还能身临其境的看到这些美丽景色！黑人赵忠祥带你走近马达加斯加看狐猴与其说是纪录片，倒不如说更像保护狐猴，减少森林开发的公益片Lemurisaspiritualanimal永不终结的故事才是大自然最美好的故事，很美很有异域风情的一部片~~不过看的时候难免思考，他们被人类捉去做实验时会有一种怎样的心态。。

简介：NBC的电视电影片《远山的秘密》（SecretsoftheMountain）于4月16日播出，故事讲述一个普通家庭卷入一场夺宝危机之后的种种遭遇。从预告片来看，这似乎是一部冒险解谜题材的魔幻作品（搜寻阿兹特克人遗留的宝藏）。该电影是电视剧集的试映集，如果表现优秀，有可能被发展为正式剧集制作感言：原本以为《远山的秘密》会如同《国家宝藏》一样，是一部大制作大场面的电影，可惜，电视电影毕竟不是电影，电影前面的电视二字将大银幕与小屏幕之间的差别揭示得一清二楚,如果你与我们一样，期待这是一部恢弘的电影，那么，可能要令你失望了.这部电影更大的意义其实在于心灵之旅，父母离异，子女间也互有矛盾，单身母亲身为律师，工作繁忙，与孩子之间的距离日益疏远，生活中的摩擦越来越明显.母亲无意间收到一封来自乡下的信，有人要收购已故的叔叔留给她的地产，她决定带着孩子回乡一次，没想到却成了探险之旅，一家人也在这个过程中越走越近，最终雾开云散....你可以将这视作一部家庭剧与探险剧的结合，优美的配乐，温馨的家庭氛围，以及优美的乡村景色仍不失为看点！《远山的秘密电影网友评论》
