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?

However, even so, I would prefer to be an emperor penguin rather than poultry in a farm. I would rather face the impossibly bad wind and snow than face the hopeless life that was foreseeable. Whether you are eaten by a sea lion or lose your child to the severe cold, it is better than living in a cubicle and eating wheat grains promoted by chemical fertilizer to contribute your body and offspring to mankind free of charge.

Narrator: [from trailer] There is a mysterious ritual that dates back thousands of years. No living creature has survived it except the penguin. They have wings but cannot fly. They're birds that think they're fish. And every year, they embark on a nearly impossible journey to find a mate. For twenty days and twenty nights the emperor penguin will march to a place so extreme it supports no other life. In the harshest place on Earth loves finds a way. This is the incredible true story of a family's journey to bring life into the world: March of the Penguins.
