新奥尔良的飓风和生态
New Orleans,即使对美国一无所知也会知道,毕竟麦当劳肯德基里有一种鸡翅。
作为路易斯安那州人口最多的城市,2005年的Hurricane Katrina是城市历史上无法忽视的一笔。
本片概述很全面:
片中的影像和音乐很棒,难怪进科技馆。
Hurricane on the Bayou is both a documentary of Hurricane Katrina's effects and a call to restore Louisiana's wetlands, rebuild New Orleans, and honor the culture of the city. The film is narrated by actress Meryl Streep and driven by a jazz-, blues-, Cajun-, and gospel-fueled soundtrack featuring Tab Benoit, Amanda Shaw, Mavis Staples, and Allen Toussaint.
本片奇特之处在于,飓风之前就开始拍了,也可以说对生态的关注某种程度上预言了这场灾难:
It was originally a "what-if" scenario about a major hurricane impacting New Orleans – prior to Hurricane Katrina.[1] The film debuted at the Entergy IMAX in New Orleans, on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, several months before being shown elsewhere.
生态:
1. levee(这个词儿在片中你会反复听到,其实就是防洪堤)失效,土壤流失
New Orleans was catastrophically affected by what Raymond B. Seed called "the worst engineering disaster in the world since Chernobyl", when the Federal levee system failed during Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.
2. 为了船运而开凿航道,导致海水入侵,杀死了树丛,侵蚀加速,无法有效减速飓风
