[Film] March of the Penguins

An amazing documentary. The film itself is beautifully shot, but even more beautiful is the glimpse into the pulse of nature as embodied in the penguins, who journey far and away in the harshest climate in order to give life to their offspring. The film is more romantic than scientific, that is, the filmmakers attempts to give a human voice (literally as Morgan Freeman does the English narration throughout the movie) to the amazing journeys taken (back and forth) by the Emperor penguins in the ice deserts of Antarctica. The film impressively captures the rare and mesmerizing shots of the penguins throughout their journey, and its focus on 'family' certainty makes it a compelling story of joy, loss, grief and hope. Besides, I dare anyone not to squee and gush over the cuteness of those baby penguins. They alone make the movie worth watching.
