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.
并没有看过原著，还是鼓起勇气来把这部两个半小时的片子看完了。完全不闷，比想象的好看。讲的是一个年轻的外省诗人随贵妇情人进入巴黎、被丢下于是转行做小报记者、借助各路朋友敌人摸爬滚打逐渐声名鹊起、企图重新获得贵族头衔最终彻底幻灭的经历。复辟时期的巴黎这个宏大的历史画卷表现得非常迷人：剧院、报纸、出版人、富商、贵族、王室之间的各种勾当，寥寥几个场景就展现地一清二楚。对话非常辛辣（应该是巴尔扎克的功劳）让人印象深刻。此外导演应该是有意加了一些指射当下的元素吸引观众。
多少个这样的心灵，
我几乎没看过什么小说，名著改编的电影倒是很感兴趣。出自电影《玛格丽特》（Marguerite，2015）导演之手的这部同名电影，表现出多少原著的深度我不知道，但呈现巴尔扎克“法国 19 世纪伟大的批判现实主义作家”这头衔，肯定是满分的。通过这个落入红尘的文学天才的故事，我们可以一睹欧洲贵族光鲜背后的那个世界。
虚假的新闻与评论，丑恶的嘴脸与现实，必然导致最终的理想幻灭。
题目恰如其分，名誉，地位，财富，尊重……不过都是花花世界的过眼云烟，一切都是虚无，幻象都将湮灭……另外太喜欢女主的样子和身材了，肉肉的，完美
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
疫情期间202204。看过这个主演小哥好几部电影了。幻灭虽然讲的十九世纪的故事，但对媒体操弄舆论和市场盲目趋利的描绘很生动，至今仍然适用。时代不同，地域不同，但人性是相通的，这个世界从来不包容单纯愚昧，对理想主义更是极为苛刻。另外，如果有人能全身心地支持和包容你，尽量不要辜负这份善意。
一个可能开场就知道会幻灭的故事。男主身处十九世纪上半叶的巴黎，没有权力和家世，即使巴黎确实也给了青春的他昙花一现的名声与财富。电影改编自巴尔扎克的小说，剧本的节奏感很好，除了结尾有些仓促。多兰也在电影中饰演了一个角色，而且电影中的一些镜头也颇具舞台戏剧感，也颇具多兰的风格。
虽然但是短评里某位，《交际花盛大衰记》是什么鬼，《交际花盛衰记》、《交际花荣枯记》甚至直译《交际花的辉煌与苦难》也行，巴尔扎克看了盛大衰记这个新名字不晓得会不会痛哭流涕。《幻灭》本来就不是个人成长型故事，巴写《幻灭》虽然有短评里所说的意图，但本意也是鞭策自己，巴明明用更多得多的篇幅去揭露新闻界、文艺界的腐化怪相，说第二部是巴黎社会生活横断面也不为过，考虑到时长问题，导演以此为侧重点无可厚非，但删掉小团体我持保留意见。ps:裸戏确实辣眼睛，我不懂有什么存在的意义。（我坚持认为《幻灭》的体量不该拍电影，66版的迷你剧就很不错
一个农村文艺青年，喜欢写点酸诗，被本地侯爵夫人赏识，两人私奔到巴黎。然而，大都市从来都是爱情杀手，各种势力压迫下2人被迫分手，文学梦也在生活压力下破灭。
这个不是爱情片。让我想起《俊友》那个话外音有点无聊了。男主演的好。懵懂无知到初涉世事，然后是出人头地到纸醉金迷，到幻灭迷失，最后方能大彻大悟！
至少，影片给了一种很多人一生都无法体验的梦幻巴黎的感觉。
今年真的是看了太多better stay as fiction的电影了。
Mk2 Odéon côté Saint Michel
物质能够创造一切，也能够摧毁一切，迷失在财富地位和所谓的才华中，待黄粱梦醒方才知晓何为真，唉！
典型的一个男人的“成长故事”；关于媒体 press；关于初心 理想 名利与欲望；浮华的表象 一碰即碎的泡沫。不是我喜欢的type 但有时间可以去看看原著/ 07.09.22@film forum
剧本真的很老套，塑造主角从籍籍无名到声名显赫以至于最后众叛亲离的幻灭过程，背景和目光聚焦于党派争斗，在上层人士的翻云覆雨里，政治与媒体，不过是狼狈为奸的手段罢了
-很有智慧？那是做作；
用传统和渐入来打造“幻”，以制造“灭”的可怕和猛烈
名声决定一切的时代可不就得各种装嘛，可惜最终也没靠女人上位。
