The whole documentary was spent in the mood of "see it all, let's finish it".
There are only two highlights in the whole film that I can think of.
One is the opening song, All is white, which is really nice.
The second is that it reveals the passing of some lives. In the same type of films I have seen before, penguins are always lucky to escape the pursuit of seals and killer whales, the cubs escape the attack of giant petrels, the lost penguins find a large group, and they are lucky to exchange eggs. Fortunately, the cold winter was passed, and the little cubs were not frozen to death (only one accidental shot).
But it's not. The shots were just cut. The mortality rate of penguins and chicks is actually very high. Nature is harsh.
I have never liked the passing of life, but it was inevitable. Frozen cracked eggs, frozen chicks, starved penguins...Death exists at every moment.
I must say that this documentary rarely delves into the immediate death, the footage is deep enough.
Let's also complain, isn't the anthropomorphic form just a picture at the beginning, and the rest is all about editing. Also, French is really bad.
It's not really good stuff...but that song is looping in my head, it's really nice.
