When he started preparing a film about Antarctica, he refused to make a travel film showing the landscape and cute penguins. In fact, the fragmented record reveals improvisation, while every point of view shown neatly points to the big propositions of man and nature and the history of civilization. He portrayed the glorious and embarrassing situation of the human base in Antarctica. The end of this piece of the world is the end of all journeys. There is a group of people who are looking for freedom and nowhere to go. They are like the warriors in the story, exhausting their own path for a faith. The Ph.Ds are washing the dishes, and linguists have arrived in this land without languages. With the end of the land, everything returns to the original point. Perhaps only in this way can we find our original intention in our own history. The adventure at the end of the world, the story here is different from any pioneering history, more like a self-exile.
There are also penguins in the movie. Led by the taciturn scholar, we followed the camera to see some scenes. A penguin who seemed to be crazy left the group and swayed towards the mountains alone. The expert told the interviewer that even if he brought it back, he would go out soon afterwards and walk far away until he died. It's hard to say why it did it, but it is clear what the director's lens focused on the penguin who is dying is telling us. This sound is extremely unreal, but it trembles strongly in a depressed part of my heart.
