Man and nature, growth and high flying

Because of my professional relationship, I came into contact with a very early Australian textbook "words will travel". The hostess of this textbook has a B&B hotel with a very beautiful natural environment, but due to poor management, she is faced with the dilemma of selling land. In the story of the textbook, there is a developer from the United States who checked into the hotel's environment after staying in the hotel, and purchased the hotel and developed this hotel with a good natural environment, intending to build a shopping mall and a high-end residential area. Other travelers who stayed here couldn't bear the destruction of the beautiful environment. Ornithology scholars and scientists discovered that the hotel's natural environment is a natural habitat for precious and rare birds and fought for the status of a nature reserve, which is the land that is free from development. , maintaining its pristine appearance, and the hotel is also known for rare birds, attracting more tourists who appreciate the natural beauty.

When watching this movie, it always reminds me of the above textbook. The living environment of wild animals is worrying. Habitat destruction, killing during flight migration, and inappropriate care and protection. In the film, there is a nature protector who claims to care about wild animals. His protection of birds is not to let them return to nature and let them really fly high, but to shorten their wings so that they will not disturb humans and not be complained. In fact, this is worth thinking about.

So what is real caring is to know what is best for the other person, choose to respect his will, choose to help and let go, and choose to let him fly high.

The background of the film is to explore the balance between man and nature. The girl is the mother of this group of wild geese, and the girl also experienced the responsibility of being a mother goose because of taking care of this group of swallows, and learned about her father and her friends, and the relationship between father and daughter deepened.

The girl can guard the migration of these wild geese and needs every accidental condition. The girl knows how to respect life, the father loves flying, the father has a group of friends who can design and support the flight plan, the daughter is smart, brave, determined, and can fly. Admire rather than stop, stifle. And each of these contingent conditions holds true to make people skeptical about this matter. At the end of the film, the sentence was adapted from a true story. In the following year, 16 wild geese flew back to the balcony of the girl's house, which was shocking. In line with the film's "10000miles" lyrics, "I will come back, no matter how far I fly."

American movies in the 1990s are really great, every director can tell a story, and every frame is natural, beautiful, serene and far-reaching.
