It is rare for a domestic documentary to gain such a good reputation as "The Human World". I think the reason is that there are too few serious documentaries in China.
Generally speaking, domestic documentaries still have a strong entertainment tendency. For example, in the field of tourism, they are basically about fun and food, and the cooing voice of a beautiful host is indispensable. However, there are always serious works in European and American travel documentaries, and the host is gray-haired.
, the topics explored also include serious topics such as political geography and cultural geography.
Therefore, the relative seriousness of "Human World" has become a guarantee of reputation.
In people's evaluation of it, the word "real" appears most frequently.
But to be fair, "Human World" just shows a more serious attitude than other domestic documentaries, and there is no need to deliberately elevate it.
Moreover, even the most praised "reality" is actually a very limited reality.
The medical field is a rich source of themes, and for this reason, whether it is American dramas, Japanese dramas, Korean dramas or domestic dramas, there are endless related dramas, which have staged countless joys and sorrows and popularized countless medical knowledge to ordinary people.
In contrast, documentaries add a cold side because of their authenticity, making it easier to highlight the emotions and stories between life and death.
But perhaps intentionally, "The World", which focuses on the sensitive subject of the doctor-patient relationship, downplays conflicts in certain areas, and thus becomes a politically correct documentary.
This gives it a tender and affectionate side.
But it has lost its critical power.
