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.
这是我第一次在院线国产电影里看见女权相关的反思，对性别歧视的批判。但是电影本身怎么说呢，结构很散，抓不住魂，低于期待。吴越才是我心中最灵的那个，但是她的戏份一点不出彩。上海是一个足够文青和多元的地方，可艺术片不是那么好拍的。
人物、故事和城市高度融合的作品，好久不见。虽然还是一个夸张化的上海，但真的能感受到静安那种味道。三位女演员撑起了这部电影，周野芒值得一个最佳配角，宁理依旧很灵光。我最喜欢的居然是老乌和老白吵架闹矛盾那段，老朋友的吵架。
真不错呀，我看来这就是沪语中年版《独自等待》，同时还真有点的伍迪艾伦的意思。电影描摹外国人都说上海话的上海不能说写实，却是世人想象中那个精致的小资的却又有生活气的上海，有着恰到好处的黑色幽默在里面。
7分。1. 氛围和节奏还行，但是故事有点散。2. 充分体现了上海人的小资情调，天价小洋房，老式自行车，咖啡店威士忌，绘画电影，跨国婚姻，但又絮絮叨叨鸡毛蒜皮得过且过。3. 主角如果没有这房子，估计这些女人们就都闪了，的确是个神话
重点在于展示出了一种不被传统羁绊的新的中年模式。
台词、演员、故事、情调，无一不佳（除了那个韩流儿子
ps简介比电影本身好看
剧本真的不错 个人觉得配乐很烦 多一点上海城市的声音不好吗 其实没必要去扯什么伍迪艾伦 完全两码事
我可能是完全不灵的那批观众，所谓的生活气息离我太远了，只觉得聒噪和做作。
没有爱情也没有神话，只有一群有钱有闲的上海中年男/女人的浪漫生活。音乐强加分也强减分，在生活与艺术之间来回横跳。
欣赏周野芒，张芝华，吴冕的表演是一种享受，这片再加个林栋甫就完美了，林栋甫可以演宁理那个角色
“我的人生好像一直在走下坡路诶，那我明天去约你爬山吧”。
前半部分笑点很多，徐峥杵那里弄个表情就想笑。大家称赞的两场戏，餐桌上与画廊墙壁投影上的女性主义宣言都有种话剧感乱入之尬（因为是将更年轻点的小资亚逼故事移植到中年中产身上？中年人会这么讲话么？）；对于觉得老乌那故事最尬的观众，我们是否可以理解成是有意经营的荒诞，尤其是他死亡的缘由。开头话剧名字的自嘲就很好笑，所有人除了吃穿讲究睡来睡去并无展现多少“艺术涵养”，一张dvd进去，野鸡字幕组免责声明飘出来，看到困觉不如涂护手霜；国际学校校车反复停，“我在推特上看到”，“八九年出国留学”，“你外公留下的房子”。而最“悬浮”的正是这个，在一团和气的片子里唯一差点显出地域歧视的老乌，写着满是病句的策展语，念叨着早已过时的风流韵事，爱惯浪头，但精神与物理居所都脆弱地仰赖他者，一副老灵的肌肉下喝点酒就能一脚去
曾经在安福路附近住了很多年。每周末去跑步，上瑜伽课。想念那些漂亮的老洋房和梧桐树，湖南路上看起来贵气又神秘的兴国宾馆，每隔一段时间就会倒闭换招牌的精致的咖啡店，随便走走就会遇见的巴金故居。再走走还有华山医院漂亮的小花园和上海图书馆。晚上下班时延安高架两边的夜景，遍布街角的明亮温暖又干净整齐的24小时便利店的窗口，相熟的早餐铺水果摊和菜场的阿姨。想念上海话，想念总是被人称作“小姑娘”然后被碎碎念。太多了。一遍一遍地爱上上海的瞬间。
看完了才发现，原来是我的观影习惯不好，中途离场了那么多次，对不起
你以为是欧洲迷影，其实恰好是三四十年代中国电影的路子。
灵啊，有哭有笑，不上价值，意犹未尽，就是好片子了。
个人一直偏爱方言电影，很舒服的文艺中年片，不油腻不抓马不喜剧。虽然很多台词跟核心的爱情神话故事本身都有很重的缝合痕迹，在这些中年演员自然表演下不会违和。精沪一本满足。#上海影城cinity
拍上海，终于不用拍江边高楼、陆家嘴白领和民国电车了。台词密度高、包袱巧、节奏感强，几位几乎都是上戏出身的演员也张力十足，全片沪语对白，把那种可能这里独有的，清高、市井又随时自嘲的文艺中年的微妙腔调表达得十分到位。简直是伍迪艾伦在上海！
全程风味沪语已值四星。其余那有惊无险、偶有波澜的法租界生活，必须要在武康路置业后才能略略咂摸一二了吧，当然抖点小机灵，“celebrate”一下新女权也不是什么坏事，总体在中国电影市场上也算一股清流了。
