  • Watch Online / Exotic Exoticism: Plant Wars (2007)



    Desc: Exotic Exoticism: Plant Wars: Directed by Asio Liu. With Wen-Wen Yang. How possible is it to love trees? Some plants are thought to be "exotic" species, others "native", and others exclusively "endemic". Yet this creative documentary film, composed of 15 shorts, proposed an alternative view to live with plants and nature: No "exotic" species for plants on earth. It's we human beings that are the *very* exotic species to plants. What human race does has changed the earth's evolution a lot. This film intends to deals with no "rare" nor "endangered" species of plants, which might not be reached in our common everyday lives. In fact, it's everyday-life plants that do count. Usually people like to talk about plant that are far away, especially those species in other foreign and "exotic" countries. Though plants might be classified as exotic/native/endemic species, everyday-life plants are too close to know (their names). In what way do we love plants, trees and nature? For we human beings, is it possible to "be" the plants in themselves to know how they really feel on earth? Actually, we might think about plants in an imaginary way, with kind of exoticism, with kind of exotic exoticism.
