eye-catching props

This film is slowly attracting me to continue watching, and it is a film that I like more and more. At the beginning, in the opening song, Amy lost her mother in a car accident and returned to her father who lived in rural Canada. In fact, this opening remark did not attract me to continue watching this movie, because I guess the plot after that will tell many stories about the relationship between father and daughter, just like another movie "Heidi", which is very popular in Germany, tells the story of living in the Alps. Like the story of my grandfather taking care of his granddaughter, he will talk about trivial matters in life. Nothing special.

Until Amy walked into his father's iron workshop, climbed on his father's unfinished aircraft, and opened his father's simple bucket refrigerator in the kitchen, these two props, the aircraft and the refrigerator, began to attract my attention, I think there will be more exciting props later in the film. Indeed, the 12 superhuman swans in the film and the 2 single-player machines made by father Thomas are the highlights of the whole film. Especially when father Thomas drove his own single plane, and daughter Amy drove the swan-style plane built for her by father Thomas, guarding 12 swans, and practicing flying in the air, the peaceful scene was really beautiful. Then, the love of fathers, the fraternity between humans and animals, the love of human beings to protect nature, all kinds of love thoughts came to my mind.

Watching this film is like tasting French red wine. At first, the taste is normal, a little bitter, but, slowly, slowly, when the astringency in the tannin is dissipated, the sweetness will come up. , the aftertaste is endless.

It's a movie worth watching, but I didn't give full marks. The main reason is that I'm worried about the age of the viewers, because it's an inspirational movie involving underage children (14 to 18 years old). Without professional guidance, It might be a bit too bold for a child to fly a plane and cross the border sea alone, fearing that minors will follow Amy and do something rude. There is no indication at the end of the film, please do not follow suit, it feels a little lacking.

    Thomas Alden: It's amazing, isn't it, how they, uh, follow her around like that?

    DNR Officer: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, called imprinting. The first living thing a goose sees when it's born, it automatically assume is its mother.

    Thomas Alden: Huh.

    DNR Officer: They'll follow her anywhere.
