Overview
Following in the footsteps of Planet Earth and Life, this epic eight-part blockbuster is a breathtaking celebration of the amazing, complex, profound and sometimes challenging relationship between humankind and nature. Humans are the ultimate animals – the most successful species on the planet. From the frozen Arctic to steamy rainforests, from tiny islands in vast oceans to parched deserts, people have found remarkable ways to adapt and survive in the harshest environments imaginable. We've done this by harnessing our immense courage and ingenuity; learning to live with and utilise the other creatures that share these wild places. Human Planet weaves together eighty inspiring stories, many never told before on television, set to a globally influenced soundtrack by award-winning composer Nitin Sawhney.

It's funny with pigeons. A person overcomes so many obstacles to build a skyscraper, but nature still threatens the very existence of this unnatural thing...a simple pigeon litter. It's such an irony of fate that a person doesn't think he's omnipotent)
The fight against rhesus monkeys seemed a bit staged. Why chase them away, drive them so far, if you know that you can't leave the counter, stand and overtake from all sides, don't let them come up and don't throw Oo
The fight against rats in New York was also amazing. First of all, why are the "fighters" without any uniforms? How do they take dead rats with their hands, even without gloves?! Do they throw them in a regular dumpster??!!! Yes, you just said and showed how rats manage in the trash, eat chicken bones, etc. Do you think they won't run to a dead rat? Oh, and it won't stink, nothing...? Why won't such a terrible institution close the sanitary and epidemiological station? Rats and cockroaches are right in the plates, people call specialists, pay them to remove the rats (they can't set mousetraps themselves, mdaaaaaaaa), but at the same time they throw unwashed plates with leftovers at night...Yeah, a shovel hunt for fleas wouldn't be worth showing this story at all.
And ticks, too, are such a mess, especially when you watch them roam freely around people...Brrrrrr, it makes me shudder;
The tannery looks fantastic.
It's painful to look at people prowling through a landfill (((
But I really liked the final message. We didn't just make a beautiful movie or picture, but also unobtrusively, very delicately, first we showed how incredibly beautiful and respectful the world around us deserves, how complex and beautiful it is, and then how in danger it is from our actions. And a very beautiful illustration with footage from the entire series, gorgeous.
mussel collectors are amazing too. Getting out from under the ice was already literally squeezing through a tiny passage, so exciting and intense Oh
And narwhal hunting, wow! And catching birds with a net? 500 birds a day, wow!!! However, when they showed how they are cooked and eaten...What a disgusting thing, and)) Now I will treat with great respect when they treat me with national food. Something made from incomprehensible vegetables, with strange spices, or a chicken dessert is not strange at all, but even very much, give me two, just not birds, uncleaned, lying for several months in a seal skin and so that the smell takes your breath away!)))
Reindeer crossing is so beautiful and complex, the skills of reindeer herders are amazing. And I feel so sorry for the poor things, many of their horns are just broken in blood((
How did they manage to make this series? In one episode about the Arctic, it's been six months and everything is in different places, but there are also jungles, mountains, etc. How many film crews did they have? And how much did they spend on transportation?
I was very surprised that there was not a single story about Siberia. It's even a shame.
Goosebumps from snakes in my hands, lions at a couple of steps away...The hardest and scariest thing is probably to think about what you had to go through and what a terrible life pushed the very first people to do it. Now parents pass this knowledge on to their children and have experience on how to do it, skills, but once upon a time someone did it all completely blindly, as I would have done, at their own risk. And the most amazing thing is that someone managed to survive and still pass on this knowledge.
I understand that birds are dangerous parasites in this case, threatening the survival of people, but it's so painful to look at this flaring tree, it's just terrible ((((
And in the volcano, of course...I can't imagine what it's like for a film crew to work with their modern equipment side by side with people who only use their handkerchief ((( And on the other hand, what it's like for these people to do their job and live their lives, seeing how they can live differently, much easier and more comfortable, but they are deprived of it(Very It's hard...
