Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above

Taiwan from a height that provides both the necessary distance and insight into both stunning beauty of nature and ruthless conflict with "an expanding civilization ignoring everything versus defending nature" which has no winners, only losers who failed terribly. In addition, Chi Po-lin has a sharp eye in terms of lines, contrasts, curves and composition as such, which is nice to watch all the time and he manages to avoid a syndrome similar to "too many, too brief, too quick beautiful full HD images", which are usually ruined by the fact that there is nothing else except these embellished images that you quickly become bored with if watched as a feature-film. The worst thing is the introductory third, which has its flaws and looks to a large extent only like a promo video saying "immediately pack your things and come here". But I must admit on the other hand it is a breathtaking promo video, that is for sure. (08/02/2015)
