small, great

For the small but great life, insects are the best interpretation. Looking down on the insect world from the height of human beings, as an observer, you will feel how humble an insect's life is. There are countless people who look exactly like me, chasing those discarded food every day, and mediocrely passing their short lives. The most humble beings in the world get the most pitiful sympathy. No one regrets stepping on an insect for days. No one would think that this was a murder - a little worm who would disappear with just a flick of the fingertip, with only a little sense of existence like a gossamer.

However, if we put the height as low as possible, sit on an equal footing with the little bugs, and even look up at them, we will find their cuteness, which is the unique vitality of life. Although the director anthropomorphized the behavior of the little bugs and gave them a lot of emotional colors. You can say it's unreal, but you can't deny that this is a way of interpreting life, and you can't deny that the little bugs around you have the tenacity to survive in order to survive! A spider will weave a broken web over and over again, although we all know how fragile its web is, and sooner or later it will fall apart. Ants rack their brains and do everything they can to move a small sugar cube, a small leaf, although we know that their goals are not commensurate with their efforts. Yes, although we know, they don't. It's not like we often don't know what we're doing, only God knows. But we also have our joys, just like little beetles teasing flies for fun, bugs looking for mates, and we often do some boring and enjoyable chases. Looking at these appreciative shots, we can't help but fall in love with them, and in the eyes of the gods in the sky, we will be exactly the same ants.

So after reading this cartoon, maybe you will no longer have the heart to trample on ants, or break the feet of praying mantises for fun. On the other hand, the production of cartoons is also very exquisite. If you are used to seeing the magnificent mountains and rivers, and feel bored, you might as well try it and watch the fragrant suburban grass and the fresh gurgling river.

Microcosmos quotes

  • Narrator (English version): [beginning narration] A meadow in early morning, somewhere on Earth. Hidden here is a world as vast as our own, where the weeds are like impenetrable jungles, the stones are mountains, and even the smallest pond becomes an ocean. Time passes differently here: an hour is like a day, a day is like a season, and the passing of a season is a lifetime. But to observe this world, we must fall silent now, and listen to its murmurs.

  • Narrator (English version): [ending narration] The night gives way once more. Nothing will stop what's now in motion, what hides in shadow, what searches forward, what flutters toward the light. Here, where time is measured out in moments, and new lives emerge from darkness, a day begins like any other. Beyond anything we can imagine, and yet almost beneath our notice.
