Introduction 1
13-year-old Amy (Anna Paquin) lost her mother in a traffic accident and had to be sent to her father (Jeff Daniels) who had been divorced from her mother for many years. My father ran a farm and pondered all kinds of bizarre inventions all day long. Facing the grown-up Amy, it was inevitable that they would be overwhelmed. Amy packed up the pain of losing her mother and tried to adapt to life on the farm. One day, she found a nest of abandoned goose eggs in a bush. She took them home carefully, and successfully hatched a nest of young geese, but out of the way. The government stipulates that wild geese cannot be domesticated, and Amy must let these geese be released into nature. Father came up with a wonderful idea to help Amy, he built a glider for her, let her take the geese to learn to fly, and then escorted "Mother Goose" Amy to lead the geese to Lake Ontario during the migration season , In the process, the hearts of a pair of father and daughter also began to be tightly connected...
Introduction 2
The film tells the story of Amy, a 13-year-old girl living in New Zealand, who lost her mother in a car accident, so her father in Canada took her back to his home. Amy's father should be an inventor. He is very fanatical about his work. There are always some strange ideas and practices. His wife can't stand his style, so he left him with Amy and went to New Zealand far away. Because Amy and Dad were separated since childhood, there was always an unspoken estrangement between each other, although it wasn't very apparent.
Amy found the goose eggs abandoned by the geese on the damaged land after a farmer tried to reclaim the swamp without permission. She took the goose eggs home carefully and secretly took one of her father's high-power light bulbs to put them on. under the goose egg. Because this is a story, we can guess without any difficulty that the goose egg successfully hatched a small goose, and also hatched Amy's first step out of the psychological shadow. Of course, the first step is successful, but the second step is not necessarily very smooth. Amy's dad, out of good intentions, went to the Wildlife Service (presumably, it's not explicitly stated in the film, but I guess it should be a similar agency). Although the guy from the Administration is against the development of the swamp, it is not really out of affection for wild animals, but only as a profession and treats it from the perspective of a manager. So he asked Amy to cut off the little geese's wings so that they couldn't fly, so that it would be easier to manage. Of course Amy would not agree, she took Xiaoyan and fled into the bathroom and locked herself inside. She felt that her father brought the manager to cut the wings of the goose, so she refused to come out. As we said, Amy's dad was an inventor, so he had a lot of weird switches in the house, and Amy accidentally bumped a switch in the bathroom and hurt herself. While crying, Amy finally vented the resentment she had accumulated against her father. Although a little less wonderful, this second step of venting is also the starting point for a new one.
So the long third step begins, which is a process of growing together and sharing weal and woe along with the growth and future of the geese. Geese are migratory birds, and migration is the nature of geese. In order to allow the geese to successfully migrate to the south for winter, Dad and his friends began to experiment with transforming their gliders into simple biplanes, and persuaded Amy to help realize this plan. Because we know that geese and ducks have a habit called imprinting behavior. The chicks will take the first moving object they see as their mother and follow their actions. Of course, the experiment was not all smooth sailing, but with the persistence of Amy and her father, the difficulties were overcome one by one, and Amy also learned to fly the aircraft by herself. The journey is finally about to begin. However, the director of the good thing has not forgotten to set up another obstacle before that. At the beginning, the police officer of the bureau who wanted to cut the wings of the goose, in a dark and windy night, sneaked into the goose house and stole all the geese. Of course, this is difficult for the members of "Yan Base", so we saw a great rescue operation...
The real flight began, and the plan was to fly to the destination in four days (of course, it is impossible for real wild geese to fly to the destination in only four days). On the way, they stumbled across a US Air Force base, encountered poachers, encountered heavy fog... In the last hour of the flight, Dad's aircraft wing was broken and one of his arms was dislocated. With the encouragement of Dad, Amy took the geese to walk the last hour alone, which also symbolized Amy's final independence and the final reconciliation with her father.
The next year, Amy's 16 geese completed the voyage to the north by themselves and returned to the balcony of Amy's house. The film ends with this subtitle.
