I'm not the kid who likes watching the animal world anymore

In fact, I should have liked it when I made this movie. But after a few years, I have completely become a female engineering doctor who only wants to watch mindless Korean dramas in my leisure time.

I used to like watching the animal world, people and nature very much. I still remember sitting on the bed with Ye Ye watching these documentaries. Usually Ye Ye sleeps on the side, and I put my cold feet all year round under Ye Ye's bed. Or, sometimes, Ye Ye watched with me, always putting his hand on the propped leg. We don't talk, we can watch for a long time.

Maybe the animal world has become a special memory for me with Ye Ye.
It has been a year since Ye Ye passed away. I don't miss him as often as I used to. But some small things that touch my memories still make me feel sour.

I think this documentary film should be well shot, many of the pictures are meticulous, and the rhythm of the sound and the picture is also very comfortable. But I don't know why, I don't like watching crawling insects anymore, and I don't like watching spiders' complicated webs. Maybe I have really changed.

The movie is still pretty good, but my mentality is different when I watch the movie, and it can no longer resonate.

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.
