'March of the Penguins'

Review

March of the Penguins
DVD (2005)

This documentary was so well done. I couldn't believe it wasn't CGI is so many bits, and the patience and endurance of even the cameramen should be applauded!

Nature is so harsh and the more it is the more strikingly beautiful it becomes also. It reminded me that the planet is still a place where we don't always dictate the terms, and I'm really very thankful that we don't need anything in those remote parts of Antarctica (not yet anyway) so we just let it be. Watching this reminded me that nature has no welfare system, the rules are dealt with uncompromising force, yet the rewards are monumental.

I was yelling at the screen telling the father penguin to keep their egg on his feet and under his belly fur while the mother was off getting fish. I laughed when I saw the new families playing after the ravages of yet another winter storm. I was relieved to see that us human Borgs hadn't yet overtaken the planet.

It reminded me to that we should weather the storm, rejoice in our triumphs and enjoy life while we have it. An excellent watch.
