The beginning of the film has been repeated many times because of the need for software testing. The music at the beginning is not bad, I like it. I watched the DVD version. It seems to be a 4:3 picture. The picture seems to be not delicate enough. Of course, it is such a small thing. It is also very good to shoot like this.
It may be the reason why I liked "Animal World" since I was a child. I think this kind of film is not bad. Those little creatures are very interesting, although I don't want to go to the theater to watch it. Most of my colleagues can't accept such a film, especially when they see those caterpillars.
There's a kind of caterpillar in the movie, they're always lined up end to end, which is very interesting, especially when two teams of caterpillars meet, and the two teams become one team. However, blind obedience can sometimes be a tragedy - as the film reveals: the lead caterpillar happens to meet the last caterpillar of the team, and mistakenly follows after the caterpillar. So the caterpillar army begins an endless cycle, until the scorching sun dries them out.
This is the divine metaphor of creation inscribed in us, and when the time comes, it will be a deadly trap. Don't think that only low-level creatures do that, because I have heard such a story:
a city man asked a cow herder: "
Why herd cattle?" "
Make money"
"What do you do with money?" What do you do when you have a wife?" "Have a baby" "What do you do with a baby?" "Grow the cows" . . . . . .

Microcosmos quotes

  • Narrator (English version): [beginning narration] A meadow in early morning, somewhere on Earth. Hidden here is a world as vast as our own, where the weeds are like impenetrable jungles, the stones are mountains, and even the smallest pond becomes an ocean. Time passes differently here: an hour is like a day, a day is like a season, and the passing of a season is a lifetime. But to observe this world, we must fall silent now, and listen to its murmurs.

  • Narrator (English version): [ending narration] The night gives way once more. Nothing will stop what's now in motion, what hides in shadow, what searches forward, what flutters toward the light. Here, where time is measured out in moments, and new lives emerge from darkness, a day begins like any other. Beyond anything we can imagine, and yet almost beneath our notice.
