migrate, reproduce, grow

More than one person said it was a dull movie. but I like it. I've been longing for it before watching it, and it didn't disappoint me after watching it. First of all I like penguins, maybe because they live in a world with almost only one color, clean, simple and transparent, which represents an ideal world I aspire to. The second is that the French director's delicate shots just suit my appetite. It doesn't need to be vigorous, it doesn't need to be majestic, and the details gathered bit by bit can also become overwhelming moving. There is a question that I have not figured out. Emperor penguins take nine months a year to complete a migration of offspring, and each penguin couple can only lay one egg, so how do they keep the number of their own species from decreasing slowly? Another question, which seems less contradictory on the surface, is more difficult to answer. Is it worth making such a sacrifice for future generations? We are now studying hard and working hard, how much of it is to be able to honor our parents, how much is for ourselves, and how much is to give our next generation a better environment and a better starting point? Or in other words, which one is more stable, long-term and powerful? I once heard a lot of "eugenic theories" from a friend, such as finding a foreigner to marry and have beautiful children, immigrating overseas to have a better educational environment, etc. Maybe she's just saying it casually, but there are people who are actually doing it. If such an approach is too extreme and too contrived, what is the right weight? where is the line?
