“带上自己的旅”评论：露西·沃克（Lucy Walker）的野火文档并不依赖简单的答案

‘Bring Your Own Brigade’ Review: Lucy Walker’s Wildfire Doc Doesn’t Rely on Easy Answers

露西·沃克（Lucy Walker）在“带上自己的旅”中充当了地狱的富有同情心和顽强的向导。纪录片制片人从翠绿的英国开始移植到美国西部 - 加利福尼亚，这是一个关注的局外人，同时调查了日益扩展和灾难性的野火季节，这是纪录片中的纪录片。“为什么山坡着火？”她回想起沿着洛杉矶高速公路开车时的想法。她的电影充满了问题。由野火幸存者，消防员，科学家和土著思想家组成的演员，“带上自己的旅”是聪明，令人痛苦的，令人沮丧的。沃克（Walker）愿意使自己的确定性延长的意愿使这部纪录片成为气候变化类型的可喜补充，即使它挑战了关于野火的假设和地球的变暖。更加凶猛，更致命。sh她告诉我们，E很确定答案会是什么。后来，她会否则承认。沃克（Walker）签署了嵌入不同的消防服装，包括马里布（Malibu）的消防局和营长梅夫·华雷斯（Maeve Juarez）。如果令人心碎，她的时机是偶然的。伍尔西大火（Woolsey Fire）于2018年11月8日吞噬了文图拉县和马里布的一部分。在同一天，近500英里之外，是加利福尼亚历史上最大的大火，营地大火席卷了天堂镇。 “我认识的大多数人都失去了一切。一切。”幸存者说。八十人在营地大火中死亡。三人在伍尔西大火中丧生。该镇的类似命运但巨大的经济差异增加了Doc的敏锐复杂性。就像罗恩·霍华德（Ron Howard）的电影《天堂》（Paradise），这部电影显示了天堂公民面临的图像，因为漩涡状的余烬从camp creek Road附近的原始点吹来，照明灌木丛，照明灌木丛，照明灌木丛，照明。树木，屋顶和汽车。大火狂热。消防员估计帽子每分钟覆盖了1.3个足球场的长度。第一手的帐户造成了一个特殊的不和谐：即使他们的采访是生存的证明，我们也担心演讲者的安全。沃克显然是为了居住的天堂居民布拉德·韦尔登（Brad Weldon）和他的妈妈而倒下。谁不会？ “我以为他们已经离开了我，”这位八十岁的人说，在客厅里设立的医院病床上说。她以“为其他天堂做好准备”的方式盲目和发光。布拉德照顾她，大火离开了很多没有家的地方，他为他们的更多空间腾出了空间，奇迹般地幸存了。母子可以轻松地指挥自己的纪录片。他们在这里的角色很大，证明了他们的精神，也证明了导演对角色和性格的兴趣。她的技能是人道和调查的。虽然档案和收集的镜头是专业使用的，但摄影师Battiste Fenwick，Carmen Delaney和Grant Smith带来了ElegiaC详细信息：由热量拱起的重量棒，一个操场篮球轮辋像椒盐脆饼一样扭曲，灰烬覆盖的鹿的尸体在一条吸干的小溪床上。布拉德·韦尔登（Brad Weldon）的姐姐失去了家，但说出了忠实的罪名，但当她告诉沃克（Walker）时，这是诚实的事情，“我知道这只是东西，但这是我的东西。”抽泣跟随。损失比比皆是，但这并不是唯一使“带上自己的旅”强大的事情。通过尊重许多声音，沃克不仅要面对野火的挑战，而且还伴随着人类的美丽和难以抗衡的皱纹生物。我们爱我们的急救人员，但不想为他们付出代价，也不经常认真对待他们的情感残骸。自杀人数在嘎嘎作响。我们喜欢我们的小城镇，但不一定想采取最小的步骤，可以节省我们的两个房屋。如果这些失败听起来很熟悉，那么沃克巧妙地部署了余烬和液滴，野火和大流行的时刻。d因为这是美国找到自己的坩埚，所以纪录片解决了谋杀的过去，而傲慢的人无视欧洲人到达西方的欧洲人对土地土著人民进行了灭火的做法和见解。旅。如果您希望一个轻松的事情（尽管令人生畏）是责备的，那么您将受到挫败。可以肯定的是，气候变化是一种加速。但是，沃克（Walker）令人信服地登陆了许多原因：木材行业的剥削行为，包括庞然大物塞拉太平洋行业，在营地开火的地方附近运营；野外发展的持续局面；顽强的拒绝支付社区服务。即使它可能并不总是像这样，但“带上自己的旅”在这种共同的责任改变过程中发现。

In “Bring Your Own Brigade,” Lucy Walker acts as a compassionate and dogged guide into the inferno. A transplant to the American West — California, to be more precise — from verdant Britain, the documentary filmmaker cast herself as a concerned and rightly flummoxed outsider while investigating increasingly extended and catastrophic wildfire seasons. “Why is the hillside on fire?” she recalls thinking as she drove along a Los Angeles freeway. Her film is brimming with questions.

With a cast composed of wildfire survivors, firefighters, scientists, and indigenous thinkers, “Bring Your Own Brigade” is intelligent, harrowing, and poignant. Walker’s willingness to have her certainties upended makes the documentary a welcome addition to the climate-change genre even as it challenges assumptions about wildfires and the warming of the planet.

Walker began her research four years ago, compelled to answer for herself why fires have become more ferocious and more deadly. She was pretty sure of what the answer would be, she tells us. Later, she’ll confess otherwise. Walker signed on to embed with different firefighting outfits, including Malibu’s fire department and then Battalion Chief Maeve Juarez. Her timing was fortuitous, if heartbreaking. The Woolsey fire took hold on Nov. 8, 2018, swallowing up parts of Ventura County and Malibu. On that same day, nearly 500 miles away, the largest fire in California history, the Camp Fire, swept down on the town of Paradise. “Most of the people I knew lost everything. Everything,” says a survivor. Eight-five people died in the Camp Fire. Three perished in the Woolsey fire. The towns’ similar fates yet dramatic economic differences add to the doc’s keen complexity.

Like Ron Howard’s film “Paradise,” this film shows images of what Paradise citizens faced as swirling embers blew down from the origin point near Camp Creek Road, lighting scrub, trees, rooftops and cars. The fire was voracious; a firefighter estimates that it covered the length of 1.3 football fields a minute. The firsthand accounts create a peculiar dissonance: We fear for the speakers’ safety even though their interviews are proof of survival.

Of the many survivors, Walker clearly fell for Paradise resident Brad Weldon — and his mom. Who wouldn’t? “I thought they had left me,” the octogenarian says from a hospital bed set up in the living room. She’s blind and luminous in a “ready for that other paradise” kind of way. Brad takes care of her, and after the fire leaves so many without a home, he makes room for more in theirs, which miraculously survived. Mother and son could easily have commanded a documentary all their own. Their outsized role here is a testament to their spirit but also evidence of the director’s interest in characters and character. Her skills are humane and investigative.

While archival and collected footage is expertly employed, cinematographers Battiste Fenwick, Carmen Delaney and Grant Smith bring forth elegiac details: a weight bar arched by heat, a playground basketball rim twisted like a pretzel, an ash-covered deer’s corpse in a sucked-dry creek bed. Brad Weldon’s sister lost her home but says the dutiful, but also the honest, thing when she tells Walker, “I know it’s just stuff, but it’s my stuff.” Sobs follow. Loss abounds but it’s not the only thing that makes “Bring Your Own Brigade” powerful.

By honoring a number of voices, Walker wrestles not only with the challenges of wildfires but also with the beauty and hard-to-iron-out wrinkles of human beings. We love our first responders but don’t want to pay for them and don’t often take seriously the emotional wreckage that befalls them. The suicide numbers are rattling. We love our small towns but don’t necessarily want to take the bare-minimum steps that could save both our homes. If those failings sound familiar, there is a moment when Walker deftly deploys the analogy of embers and droplets, wildfires and pandemic.

And because this is the crucible in which America find itself, the documentary addresses the murderous past and arrogant disregard Europeans arriving in the West had for the fire-suppression practices and insights of the land’s indigenous people.

For the better part of “Bring Your Own Brigade,” Walker holds off on introducing climate change interviewees (a number of them are familiar go-tos). If you’re hoping for one easy — albeit daunting — cause to blame, you’ll be thwarted. Climate change is an accelerant, to be sure. But Walker lands convincingly on many causes: the exploitative practices of the lumber industry, including behemoth Sierra Pacific Industries which operates near where the Camp Fire started; the ongoing sidling of development on wildlands; the tenacious refusal to pay for community services. Even though it may not always feel like it, “Bring Your Own Brigade” finds in that shared responsibility opportunities to change course.
