The documentary "Emperor Penguin Diary" is a story about the survival and reproduction of emperor penguins living on the Antarctic continent. The film uses a documentary method to truly reproduce the penguin's trek and growth process to the audience, showing how the emperor penguin, a funny, cute and strong species, fights against the harsh natural environment and their natural enemies, and how to pour out the little penguins. their love to complete their life-continuing journey.
White, black, and blue are the main color blocks of the film. The blue sky, the vast expanse of white snow, and a group of emperor penguins meander forward in the pure picture, as neat as a military formation, moving forward. On their way to migrate, they dance on the white ice, seek love with a unique penguin song, and then form a "couple". The weather is getting worse and worse, the mother penguin will stop for a period of time to lay eggs. After that, they must leave immediately to return to the sea to recover their strength and look for food, so the father penguin will stay to protect those precious penguin eggs, and they stick to it. With two months of starvation, the eggs slowly hatch on the soles of their feet. When the baby penguins began to see this white world, the food stored by the father had been supported for more than four months. When the mother penguin came back, the role of the parents changed. Blizzards, extreme hunger and severe cold, greedy seals, giant petrels are always eyeing them, threatening their lives. As the climate warmed day by day, the ice floes gradually melted, and the long-lost orange sunlight filled the entire white world. When the baby penguins walked on the ice with their waddling feet, slid dozens of meters on the ground with their round belly, and dived into the deep waters of Antarctica for the first time to fly freely, they were finally reunited. We rubbed our ears and temples intimately, and promised each other in a happy life: we will meet again in the next year.
Director Luc Jacques said: "My goal is to dig deep from a new perspective and tell you a true but extraordinary story. Although it has lasted hundreds or even thousands of winters, it has never been Humans have documented and passed it down. Emperor penguins have not lived with humans long enough, humans are very alien to them. The way emperor penguins reproduce is special, it combines love, courage, adventure and drama All of this takes place in Antarctica, the most isolated and precarious place on earth. I wanted to tell a true story, through incredible images, of the life of emperor penguins in the cold winter.”
This is A story about the courage, struggle, love, survival and life course of a group of animals. It brings us shock, shock, and moving, and makes us deeply appreciate the tenacity and endlessness of life.
