"Le peuple migrateur" is a story about commitment. This is the first sentence of the opening paragraph, which is very suitable as a title. It is not superficial, but with strong emotions, which is completely consistent with the temperament of the film. In fact, the film is not rich in information, but it has a very beautiful picture. Rather than saying that this movie is a documentary, it is better to say that it is a visual feast, bringing a poetic picture and pure natural sound. It tells how migratory birds fly continuously throughout their lives. They do not pursue meaning, but a noble obedience to nature. "Le peuple migrateur" uses a unique European romantic sound combined with beautiful pictures to photograph the topic of bird migration that originally belonged to the category of natural sciences into an immortal masterpiece permeated with the spirit of humanism.
"Le peuple migrateur" presents another magical world, sounds from nature, feelings from nature, these are far beyond the world that people can perceive. The film shows people the miracle of nature, without the slightest artificial carving. Flying over hundreds of thousands of kilometers, without fear of difficulties and obstacles, even year after year, on the same route, in the same location, director Jacques Perrin captured the instinct for survival and the motivation of hope, and he walked the audience up close. The flock of birds goes deep into the soul of the bird, allowing the audience to germinate the desire to touch the bird again and again, facing the poetic picture, listening to the sound of nature, leaving an eternal miracle in the audience's heart.
The success of "Le peuple migrateur" depends on the photographer's hard and long wait and deep love for the natural world. The exquisite aerial photography technology is the sincerity of human beings. The lens is full of incredible texture, and even the tremor of the air cut by the wings can be felt. Under the wide-angle lens, the nature is open and magnificent. There is no dramatic plot or the ups and downs of the fate of the characters. The film just follows the encounters of the birds with pure eyes. Piles of wounded birds devoured by crabs, a parrot succeeded in fleeing, the hounds under the sharp teeth escaped in panic, and the chicks in the grass faced the mechanical ruthless wheels in horror. Sophisticated technology seems to be able to let you touch the particles of the wind. However, the clearer you see, the sadder the heart becomes, and the poetic and destiny of bird migration is sublimated to the limit. Migration is the promise of migratory birds to return, but they have to use their lives to practice.
