I accidentally saw this film on the movie channel, because I saw these famous comedians and thought it was a very funny comedy. I just happened to be fine, just take a look. However, with the development of the plot, although there is no shortage of little jokes, it is still slowly moved by the hero's enthusiasm, courage and dreams. In the United States, bird watching is a costly activity, and bird watching in many places is a big source of tourism for the local area. It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but for birdwatchers it is a kind of pursuit, a kind of surprise to find.
But what I want to talk about is the dream in life. Just ask, do you have dreams in your life? Do you dare to give up everything and pursue that dream? We are often educated not to pursue unrealistic dreams, because we will lose everything we have, but when I watched this movie, these three people, their dreams and hobbies are in conflict with real life, and they have not given up on themselves. Some people find a new life in the pursuit of their dreams; some people return to their families; some people lose their families... What I admire most is the ability of American movies to fully express humanity, these obsessions For bird-watchers, in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of giving up the opportunity of artificial insemination with his wife, leaving the father suffering from heart disease in the forest alone, and missing the first sight of the birth of his little grandson, is simply worth it. Responsible bastard. But in the film, they can't make people think so, because their families have forgotten them, the kind of pursuit of birds, that kind of enthusiasm, people can't really hate them. I like the ending of this movie. There is no such thing as a big reversal. Everyone's effort is proportional to the result of the game. The scenery in the film is very beautiful, I have been to some places, and I have seen the woodpecker that they said is a rare encounter.
What impressed me the most was the courtship flight of two eagles, what a wonderful free fall, and the beauty of nature is beyond words. There is also a joke about Beijing roast duck. I wonder if the hero will be disappointed when he comes to China for bird watching.
