the same world

I watched the entire movie with goosebumps from start to finish. Even though some people say that it is beautiful for caterpillars to turn silkworms into butterflies, I still feel that the splendor of butterfly wings is not the kind that attracts me. To me, insects are just insects after all.

There are very few explanations in the film. Many times, I can't understand or even completely understand what some insects are busy with. I can only imagine it myself.

The only thing I feel is that the ants are busy moving food into their caves and stacking them layer by layer in an orderly manner. I think their survival and reproduction are purely instinctive or maybe they are actually thinking a little bit? How much difference is there between them living and those who say "don't think too much" and are busy living and multiplying?

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.
