This is a film made in 1996 and its themes are about family, love and environmental protection. Despite the simplicity of its plot, the film is still moving to this day.
First, let’s talk about the main line of family and love. When Amy carefully brought back 15 wild goose eggs, she was surprised and joyful when she saw the successful hatching of the goose, Amy felt a little light from her dark life. Her mother was killed in a car accident, and she was taken to a completely unfamiliar country by a "daddy" who had no contact for more than 10 years and behaved absurdly. Amy resisted everything in her new environment. Until seeing this group of geese that he rescued by himself broke out of the shell, Amy became a "mother geese" and became the support of the geese, and Amy's life was full of hope again. The pure and kind Amy wants to protect and accompany the little geese to grow up. In fact, Amy's father is not like this, he is so hard and careful to manage the relationship with his daughter, and even to please her daughter. Because of his kindness, Dad found a local government official to teach Amy the knowledge of supporting wild geese, but when he wanted to cut off the wings of the goose, Amy and Dad were furious and drove him out of the house. Later, with the help of his father, Amy learned how to fly a glider and lead the wild geese to fly (because the wild geese only follow Amy, their mother). When Amy drove a light plane without authorization and fell into the bushes, Dad mistakenly thought that Amy was anxious when he was injured, Amy was moved, and the gap between father and daughter slowly resolved. Later, the wild geese were stolen. Amy's father and uncles fought together to release the wild geese. Amy and father each drove their own planes to lead the wild geese to migrate. Animal Killer), successfully reached the finish line. When the final scene was fixed on Amy and Dad embracing, the big smile filled the screen, and I felt the power of love and affection.
Speaking of environmental protection, the conflict in the entire film is basically carried out around "protecting nature and commercial interests". From the outrage over the development of the swamps on Amy's doorstep, to the end of the article where they plan to migrate -- a nature reserve in Florida is also facing reclamation if no migratory birds migrate there. Of course, the ending of the film is happy, Amy successfully led the wild geese to the finish line, shattering the fantasy of the developers. However, reflecting on our real life today, how to strike a balance between protecting nature and maximizing commercial interests is still a hotly debated and thought-provoking issue. The greater the works, the more instructive they are in real life, they discuss the nature of human nature/things, which is why they are enduring.
