山地自行车之旅

没有接触过山地车，也不知道什么时候会去玩。

曾经觉得演唱会十分遥远，觉得独自旅游非常不可能，但是之后，我都做到了。

真正局限你的是你自己阿。

也许该把生命花在这些美好的事情上了，而不是每天空想和烦恼着未知的事情，就尽情去撒欢吧。

纪录片本身很华丽，4k超高画质和延时摄影让人有超级fancy的视觉效果，加拿大的枫叶真的好看。

生命就是一条河-Life is a river.我爷爷经常这样说-That's what granddad always used to say.开始与结束之间 有千万条路线-A beginning, an end, a million different ways in between.他用河流来形容我的一生 如何流动 如何结束-He used a metaphor of my whole life how it ended, flowed.一路向前 克服艰难险阻-Flowing the path, release the resistant. Barely straight through the impossible.有时清澈 有时浑浊-Clear as air, black as night.爷爷说 不管流向什么方向 如何流动 呈现出怎样的姿态-But no matter what the direction or how it moved, what it looked like, the point according to granddad河流永远都是向前流动的-was that the river always moved forward.是什么让他年至垂暮还感慨万千呢-What kept him running the rabbits until he was old and gray?见证奇迹的时刻到了-The mystery would lay around the bend.如今这种奇迹很难被发现了-These days that mystery is hard to find.河流离我们越来越远 天空充斥着灰尘 -The river is distant. The sky clouds out of concrete. 对于很多人来说 生命的奇迹 生命的美丽 生命中联系 都已经在不经意间被破坏了-For many of us life's great adventure, all its beauty, all its connection sells by unnoticed.有趣的是 河流距离我们并没有想象的那么远 -Funny thing is the river is never that far off. 下面就让我们用一种方式回到生命之河的前进中去-This is the story of a way back in, to the rush of moving forward.在地下诞生 -Born from the earth crust. 在泥土中成长-Grow from the seeds of enervation.在火焰中锻造-Forged in fire's industry 强大的工业使人类成为这个地球上最强大的生物-The earth's most efficient machine creates the most efficient animal.而自行车 是人类最完美的发明-But bicycle, are noblest invention.道路 来来去去 亦如季节-Trails like the seasons come and go.多样 美丽 典雅-Built on a foundation of diversity, beauty, classic elegance.从不完全重复-Never quite repeating themselves一种有着不同的开始 结局以及无数不同过程的奇迹-A marvel made of beginnings and endings with a million different ways in between.爷爷就好像是这其中的联系者-Granddad was all about those connections.他花在土地上和花在机器上的时间一样多-He had his hands in the earth as much as he did machines.也许这就是为什么他更理解生命的意义-Maybe that's why he understood both sides.我们开采砍伐 我们消耗 我们也创造-Sure we tilt and cut, we rip and we sew.是的 我们造成了很多破坏-And yeah, we do great damage. .无论我们认为自己有多聪明 -After all, no matter how smart we think we are我们也不过是历史的另一部分而已-we are just another part of history.保持平衡 让踏板转动起来-Balance a bike all right. Keep the pedals turning. 这一刻 忘记一切-Forget about everything except right now.没什么地方是不能骑自行车的 -And there's no place you can't ride. 这是爷爷曾经说过的话-That's granddad used to say.生活就是一种自杀行为 这话说的很对-I once read that life is an act of suicide.

我相信，所以热爱运动，向往自由的人都会被这部Life Cycles所深深震撼。

美丽的森林，辽阔的田野，一年四季中飞驰的山地自行车。

或许，生命的使命就是永无止境的追求，追求内心向往的生活，去感受生命的呼吸，大自然的呼吸，每一秒都沉醉于这一追求中。

当你喜欢上这种骑行在大自然怀抱的生活时，就不会停止。

我想，我被这一生活深深吸引，抛弃一切烦恼，全神贯注的注视着前方，享受疾驰带来的刺激，那一刻，就只有自行车、道路和你。

当你累了时，需要休息时，大自然给你舒适的环境，让你的心灵得到放松和释放。

是的，我无法抗拒那样的生活，是多么向往，虽然，现实总会让你劳累，但我坚信，只要勇敢追求，就可以得到你想要的生活。

因为，你的心灵永远都会追求自由。

Just two selections:"Balance a bike right, keep the pedals turning, forget about everything except right now. And there is no place you cant ride.""The life is an act of suicide."

小的时候站在山顶，远望以为那重山之外就是大海，长大才知道那之外仍是山。

这部影片太美了，慢镜头一直推着，每一瞬间静止都是一部美丽的摄影作品，那嫩绿色就是孩童的记忆，曾经我们就是用这样美丽的眼睛仰望着美好的世界，我们不停的爬山，不停的嬉戏，不停的徘徊在山林，到现在我最美好的梦就是躺在松林的山脊，有野花有松针有小松鼠。

我曾怀疑这一切是否真的存在于我的生命中，因为那些美景离我们的记忆越来越远。

整部影片没有任何强加的思想，没有任何必须去完成的感慨，只是带着我们慢慢走一走，在自行车的速度中，领略着美好的风景。

原来成熟的稻米都那样美，原来那蜘蛛网还有蚯蚓的蠕动都那么有张力，到底是什么蒙住我们的双眼。

我的眼睛不由得快乐，而我的心却不再为之心动，因为太久的我们不再觉得这些是美太久的我们只看到物质生活，人与人之间适者生存，却只有是垂暮之年才懂得，生命的任何表象不过只是过眼云烟，生命的永恒在于轮回，没有永恒的定理，没有永恒的成功，只有那些天真烂漫笑看世人如何在高楼林立中你争我夺。

前几天我自己一人爬山，一个矮矮的小山包，下面是农田我尽情躺在上面拍摄作品，我仰望着天，亲吻着黄黄的草地寻找那万黄从中一点绿，寻找着生命的痕迹，这一切让我是那么快乐远比我坐在饭桌上与朋友觥筹交错来的惬意，远比我万事小心来的纯粹，来吧年轻的朋友，去丛林看看，去野地走走，去看看河流那里倒影的才是你真实的影子

You spend hours thinking,designing,questioning.ALso you can spend a few seconds lost in one moment.No time to think,just reation,focus.All the worry in a one washed away by the rush.When the builder puts down the shovel and picks up the bike,when creation override distruction.well,that's living.无论影片中富有哲思，隽永的描述，还是从头到尾的精美的影像，都吸引着我看完了这部没有剧情的纪录片，精致而短小，perfect very much.整部影片印象最深的大概是上面那段话了。

最近一直深深陷入生活与与生活无关的一切的纠葛之中。

每周工作4小时，番茄土豆法，work for yourself，人们苦苦探寻着生活与工作的平衡点，打鸡血并非我一个人的强迫症。

心理学家们沉迷于人类行为心理，geek们疯狂的执着于技术，无数人为追求某些虚无飘渺的东西不知疲惫的奔波着，可是我们要追求要到达的那个点到底有什么意义呢？

人们常说人生苦短，其实来日也不长，短短几十年，无非吃穿，无非长大结婚生子终老。

当你看到影片中在阳光下扬起的木屑，鲜活鲜活的泥土，不断轮回的大自然，关于生命的意义，关于生活，突然变得这么简单。

lost in one moment,all worry in a one washed away by the rush.山地车看似非常复杂，其实本质是很简单的。

just like life，no matter what the direction or how it moved.,what it looks like.,the point according to granddad was that the river always moved forward.

非影评，仅记录一段喜欢的旁白。

“生命就是一条河”Life is a river我爷爷经常这么说That's what grandad always used to say在河流的开始与结束间，有千万条路线A beginning, an end, a million different ways in between这一生有高低起伏，湍急与和缓He used to metaphore my whole life, how it'd end and float生命寻找最易走的那条河道，却又从不可能中找到可能Following the path of least resistance,barreling straight through the impossible从清风中穿过，在暗夜中流淌Clear as air and black as night但无论生命之河流向何方，看起来变成了什么样子And no matter what direction or how it'd mowe or what it'd look like爷爷总说：“河总是不断向前奔流”the point according to grandad was that the river always moved forward一个白发老人为何有此感慨？

what kept him running the rabbits until he was old and grey秘密也许就在下一个河湾之后the mystery of what lay around the bend在这个时代，生命的秘密有时难以被发现These days that mystery is hard to find河流被阻断 天空被水泥高楼遮挡The river is distant and sky clouded with concrete自然的美丽在我们身边默默流淌无人注意For many of us, life’s great adventure, all its beauty all its connection sails by unnoticed.有趣的是，生命之河从来就在我们身边Funny thing is the river’s never that far off.终有一天，河流汇入海洋，从此它不再是一条河流One day the river meets the sea, and then that's not a river any more它经历的滚滚变革It's past through the the wheels of change尝遍各种经历、故事、冒险in and out of experience, stories, advanture, grand ends.最终，完美结局，骑行终将结束Inevitably, the ride stops.消散了，但没有消逝Lost but not entirely gone.目前为止，就我们所知，生命的轮回For now, as far as we can tell, the cycle of life,其实永无止境well, it never ends.

喜欢自行车的应该早就看过类似的小片子吧？？？

不管是Anthill的还是FOX拍的片片都是类似的。。。

高清，刺激。。。

发现了几个熟悉的名字哦McCaul....Tracey...为什么没有Greg和Gee呢。。。

看完了，感觉没有Anthill Films的Follow Me好看哦那里面出现的都是让人尖叫的Heroes而且歌叫一个好听

是一部好的记录片子，也是成功的自行车广告。

一种可意会的意境通过影片表达了出来。

山地车，人们制造它，人们磨损了它。

人们总是一手播种，一手砍伐。

善与恶并存。

你永远无法说出口绝对的善或绝对的恶，大概只有大多数的四舍五入。

什么是生命？

存在着的就是活了，活着的不就是生命了。

生命是若一如初见，也是沧海了桑田——是一种循环，如同寒冬酷暑的交替。

时间是岁月静静缓缓地流淌。

“人活着就是自杀。

”我喜欢这话。

人活着为了什么？

年迈的人会说为了子孙后代，年少的人会说为了理想等等，想了太多的答案都对也都不对。

其实大白话就是等死，活着是为了死。

太阳缓缓落下余晖，伴随着夜空星与月与之升腾。

日月交替是循环，轮回亦是循环。

春种秋收，冬至大雁南飞，夏日的冷雨夜和春天里的泥浆。

往复，交替。

一年又一年。

“life is a river.”生命是一条长河。

我们走吧。
