Religious films explore the relationship between man and god; love films explore the relationship between man and man; it seems inappropriate to talk about religion and love without man. For a set of animal documentaries that no one performed, expecting to touch the nerves of love and stir up religious feelings is destined to be disappointed. "The Great March of the Penguins" is a set of almost impossible documentaries-more gentle and lingering than romance films, and closer to sacred than religious films.
The movie is starred by a pair of emperor penguins and their 4,400 or more companions. The whole film was shot in Antarctica, and the aurora show, which is like a fake replacement, is presented for free, which can compete with the Symphony of Lights for the duration of a day. Just watching the natural scenery is worth the price, and any other benefits of the movie can be said to be earned. The content is about the emperor penguins who spent several months walking through the cold glacier and walking to the agreed place over the years. Thousands of penguins formed a strong-willed team, and their morale forced the Red Army's 25,000-mile long march, one after the other, and it worked hard. There are so many difficulties and obstacles on this journey. Every pilgrim does not hesitate to take his life as a bet, vowing to complete his mission-to inherit the family.
In the early part of the movie, the lens is used to capture the ferociousness of nature; the sky is dim, the wind and snow are constantly blowing, the world is inhumane, and nature is never soft. The unfortunate Penguin suddenly realized that he was separated from the Long March team and completely lost his companion. Looking, not finding, facing the boundless world alone. The fear was unaccompanied, trembling in the cold wind, and finally buried by Shirayuki. Then there is the young penguin who is still young and fledgling, unable to withstand the ruthless wind and snow, freezing on the spot, Amen! Those who are fathers can't help crying, and some even think of their sons madly, robbing others of their beloved sons. In this harsh environment, the little penguins leaned close to each other, forming a large circle to draw warmth from each other. The penguins standing on the outermost side keep their backs from the wind and snow, and take turns. This circle is a collection of life groups, a sacred halo that fought hard to resist, with a scorching arrogance permeating it.
Thousands of mountains and rivers finally arrived at the destination, and the penguins began to call for love. Who is my destined person? People searched for it thousands of Baidu, and finally found a person in life, want to dance a penguin waltz to celebrate. How can I tell that the silly penguin turned out to be a romantic lover. The camera and music entwined the tenderness of the partner into a ball. Stroking your partner's smooth back with a long mouth, and patting each other's body with short and clumsy wings, the feeling of love flows from under the lens. After tenderness, the penguin egg was born. The mother supported the egg with her feet to prevent the ice and snow from getting on her beloved child. The couple took turns incubating their eggs, and when they smashed their eggs, they jumped up the penguin waltz, which symbolizes love. Some couples with poor dance steps failed to handover, and the eggs rolled innocently on top of the ice and snow. After a while, they cracked and were eaten away by the ice. The hearts of their parents were also frozen.
The female penguin has to go back to the water source for a long march and reserve enough food to feed the baby. If unfortunately you encounter a Shanghai elephant on the way, the result must be a dead body and two lives. After the baby was born, the mother didn't have time to come back. Although the father had no rice for dozens of days, he was willing to feed the last bile to the baby. Although the road was obstructed and long, the female penguin finally returned from all difficulties and walked into the vast sea of geese. How do thousands of sons and thousands of mothers recognize each other? Although I have never seen each other, I recognize you with the call of blood-linked love. Seeing this, I can’t help but sing an advertisement song: Life is a good fellow, when I say it’s good!
The little penguin took the audience on a pilgrimage of life. However, what we see is just a shudder in the sea, and the story of life continues to unfold all the time. The dreams of various life in the past and the future are great and small in nature. In this short essay "Looking for the Dead", Li Tianming wrote the inductive link between the dream of life and the dream of life, which can be used as the best footnote to this movie: "Although I have not seen you, even your name is not I know, but I commemorate you. All the drifting, lonely, unannounced, nameless, unremembered "Dream of Life", I commemorate you."
