      What if the world won't win without you

      Three bird watchers from different backgrounds came together for a common hobby and ideal. While bird watching and competition, they were troubled by different realities (work, career, family relationship), and they needed to give up every time. Make a choice with persistence.

      Birdman's story, a positive and informative film

      This film tells the story of Birdman fighting for the title of the world's first birdman. The subject matter is very rare. You can say that encounters are a bit cliché and emotions are a bit cliché, but the subject matter is indeed unique and novel. Therefore, foreign films can often give fresh humanistic sensory impressions.
      This movie conveys a lot of bird knowledge, and learns about the strange mating of birds, the migration of birds, etc. The amount of information is quite large. It...

      Birdman's Spiritual World

      Directed at Steve Martin and Owen Wilson, with a desire to see if there is any difference between the bird people in the film and the real ones? Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that there was an acquaintance beside me who was a bird idiot, the stories in the film might have been just stories, and I still couldn't understand how to understand these bird people after watching them. It is good to have a dream, and it is also beautiful to build a dream. To be honest, sometimes I admire such...

      In the values ​​of old beauty, the word playthings may not exist. A really good movie. After thinking about it for a long time, maybe such a non-entangled film is not enough to give five stars, but for the refreshing viewing process, five stars, it is worth...

      It turned out to be for watching Sheldon for just a few seconds, but the movie is much better than I thought. I didn't understand what bird watching was at first, but now I think bird watching is really interesting. This is also where the movie affects us. The rhythm is brisk, the characters are distinct, everyone's experience is different, and there are many, many cute birds. Friendship and love have also been further sublimated. I think it's a good movie. Thanks ears are also...

      9 June 2012. From the very beginning, I liked the comfortable film style. Every frame is beautiful. It's like paying attention to comfortable home clothes. The camera is very comfortable and comfortable, but the overall story is very exciting, especially the intriguing ending. This is Jesus telling us that spiritual matchmaking is important In a loving and lasting relationship this is not the fucking mentality of Daoming Si but the truth! !...

    Shooting process

    Although there is a certain "bird watching foundation" and "bird watching enthusiasm", from a technical point of view, shooting "The Big Year" still has a certain degree of difficulty. The novel depicts what happened within a year, and the time span is a bit large for the movie. In order to shoot different scenery throughout the year, as well as some birds, the crew followed the route in the novel to start shooting in North America....

    Evaluation action

    In terms of viewing experience, the film is fresh and natural, with natural decorations, without any pretentiousness. Although it does not have a strong point, there is a smell of blood and dreams that will overflow from its bones. Driven by the main line of chasing birds, it is the understanding of family harmony, the grasp of the scale of love, the pursuit of ideals, and the thinking and discussion of human nature. From the screen,...
