西蒙·里夫畅游印度洋 (2012)

In his most exotic and extreme adventure yet, Simon Reeve travels around the edge of the beautiful Indian Ocean in this forthcoming, epic new 6 x 1hr BBC2 TV series.Starting his journey in South Africa, Simon travels around the coast of the Indian Ocean, heading up the east coast of Africa, around India and back down the western coast of Indonesia to SW Australia. The extraordinary adventure takes Simon to 16 countries, as he braves the horrors of frontline conflict in Mogadishu in Somalia, perhaps the most dangerous place on the planet, and visits the beautiful Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles.On his journey Simon travels by boat, car, train and plane. He encounters pirates, dives with sharks, patrols with Dutch Special Forces, goes underwater spear-fishing, dines in an underwater restaurant, stumbles into a seedy drug-den, visits a 5-star seaside palace housing thousands of refugees, meets a Yorkshireman on his Seychelles island paradise, and has close encounters with the amazing wildlife of the Indian Ocean, including lemurs, penguins, dolphins, elephants and manta rays.Throughout the epic journey, Simon travels with his trademark enthusiasm, humour and curiosity, exploring parts of the world few other outsiders get to see. The Indian Ocean BBC film-crew accompanying him have been capturing stunning images around the ocean from land, sea and air, ensuring this series will be one of the major TV travel events of 2012. 基本把西蒙里夫的纪录片都看了……看着他慢慢变老……但是还是很喜欢。旅游不只是拍风光，更重要是风光地所在背后的真实生活。这个喜欢是从北回归线系列开始……折腾了好几天，算是看完了，不过估计还会重看。个人认为这部和畅游地中海是simon的旅行纪录片里最优秀的两部，旅途中的许多事居然可以构成前因后果，有剪不断的牵连。印象很深的有索马里和索马里兰、阿曼（特别是语言）、孟加拉国、印度尼西亚（泯灭天性的宗教法律）和澳大利亚（口音真是太可爱了）。但simon黑天朝真特么丧心病狂，你到哪都黑吃鱼翅的习惯且算了，你黑天朝在斯里兰卡还有毛里求斯建港？明明提到了泰米尔猛虎组织，确丝毫不提它背后的南亚某大国，天朝建个港反而黑半天……双标实在让人反胃，减一星。这个系列多次cue到china，而且不是什么好方面哈哈哈哈哈我忍。Simon Reeve的纪录片真的非常记者风，一路所见都是真的触及到所经国家的底层人民问题了，就像他自己说的看到了很多苦难，这点确实不可否认。这个纪录片的主题更多是围绕环保，印度洋沿海国家的发展和环境保护之间的冲突，是现实问题。不过Simon基本是属于谁都“黑”的，中国、美国、英国等等统统cue一遍。在城市里久了，就会看不到很多东西。南非盗捕鲍鱼换取毒品的居民，斯里兰卡从小学习辨认地雷的孩子
