Just finished watching The Salt Of The Earth and honestly I am speechless. Is this a documentary everyone should watch? Yes! Will this documentary bring you tears and make you feel everything is lost on this planet due to the parasite called human? Yes! Will this documentary blow you away by the beautiful nature pictures? Yes! Will your faith in humanity be restored after watching the whole documentary? I really doubt it. Even though it ends with a message of hope, the pictures of death, famine, wars will be forever engraved in your soul. I had not much hope for humanity before watching Sebastião Salgado's pictures and nothing has changed after watching them. It just got worse. But is The Salt Of The Earth worth watching if you know you will get your portion of world misery? It certainly is. It's just beautifully pictured moments of our world. Some happy ones and some very sad ones. It should make people want to change the way they live. But I guess that nothing will ever change, just because of the human greed. This documentary should be mandatory in schools.

The Salt of Earth is a movie about pictures of our world, not just photos, but a critical vision of our society, a son to father movie, about how a former economist saw the world thought his camera. This documentary could be just a about a great photographer, but it goes beyond, and show us about the human side of ourself, a side sometimes we forget. To take a perfect pictures may took years, may took risk of life, may took a feeling, but always will need a human instinct to see, what is almost impossible to see for everyone else. The main argument in this movie isn't about how take pictures, but what they means for us, and what it shows, a war, a strong little boy man, a beautiful woman going to die, human greed for gold, or just how the world don't need us to be beautiful. The director show a movie about human nature, in best picture, but not in the best of human, sometimes, the best picture show the worst of human nature. This is the best lesson from this movie, human nature is complex, and sometimes chaotic.

I was pleasantly surprised to see 'The salt of the Earth' in the documentary movie collection of the United Airlines. This is a documentary about legendary photographer Sebastiao Salgado and his life's work.Started with an excited heart, it left me heartbroken in the end. It's amazing how a man saw so much war, loss of lives and cruelty but still believes in humans. Every book he has published is product of a grueling journey of years - each of those books completely transformed him.This is what photography is supposed to be. I wonder how many photographers nowadays have such dedication.
