About romance and tenacity

Unlike a documentary like National Geographic, it has a clear theme and a very personal perspective. The main purpose is not to introduce you to the emperor penguin’s life habits, I prefer to think that it is to show you the director’s personal emotions.
On this basis, all the pictures and plots (if they can be called plots) have made obvious trade-offs in order to maintain the style and emotional color of the entire film. For example, some bloody or cruel pictures and content have been discussed and skipped, only as general explanations. This style of film is worth watching with your family, even if the children are only attracted to the awkward body that is swaying.
I stubbornly believe that this is a film that expresses romance and tenacity, although I can't deny that all these are just inherent habits.
The composition of the film is very rigorous, and each frame must be taken many times before choosing the best shooting angle and time. Even as a teaching film for photography, it is enough.

March of the Penguins quotes

  • 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.
