In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.
In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.
The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.
时间够长，每个故事讲的还可以，就是风格有点乱，一次性看完有点分裂
第一个故事1星，第二个故事0.5星，第三个故事0.25星，第四个故事0.25星。
跟同侪相比，徐峥做导演的单元出格性优秀，甚至有点韦斯安德森那味儿。按理说，这是离真实生活质地最远的片段，却最能让我想起我的父亲，也是那个“总想折腾点什么却没折腾出什么名堂但就是跟周围的爸爸不一样”的鸭先知。
徐峥部分比较好，沈腾部分比较麻花，其他部分一般
总在说徐峥的导演功力一般，但是和几个导演新人比，《鸭先知》确实十分有趣。章子怡的部分有点飘，吴京的部分有点乱，沈腾的部分还算凑合，很开心麻花。
我的孩子
新世界的开始
平凡的渺小
比较喜欢《鸭先知》，画面风格很韦斯·安德森，喜欢电影的摄影构图与摄影机运动。《诗》如其名非常诗意，而且故事很有力量。开心麻花一如既往地好笑，不愧是他们。四个短片风格各异，拼盘电影，拼在一起看了四个不同的短片。
鸭先知8.5分，骑兵团7.5分，章子怡的那段就不评了
＊4少年行，科技，机器人沈腾＆单亲少年
过去，现在，和将来的故事。说的是父辈的传承。第一个虽然打鬼子拍的很好，但是故事核心差点意思，儿子死了，传承全丢了，还不如父亲为了掩护儿子和乡亲们，牺牲了，这样还好点。最后留个父亲真是很尴尬。后三个都把传承的核心做的特别好。特别喜欢最后两个。
3.5/10。章子怡的部分扣题且具有某种意象美，其他三个故事对应的主题其实是「牺牲」、「闯荡」和「羁绊」，父辈形象在隐于其后的宏大叙事背景下被衬托得模糊又缺位、刻板又苍白。
光荣和梦想
乘风:描写冀中铁骑队一对父子的故事，父亲为了救50多位村民不得不暴露儿子的位置以至牺牲，后面骑兵队冲锋杀鬼子的战斗场面很激烈，血肉横飞。
燃料是点燃自己
徐峥部分有点意思，不过也是因为运镜和叙事明显看出了许多名作的影子
鸭先知＞诗＞乘风＞少年行。
上阵父子马仁兴乘风，天上的诗火箭父母继子亲女，鸭先知父子参桂养荣酒，机器人父设计师子。
渺小的尘埃
