I thought, well just another nature film
of birds flying. I can see that on the History Channel.
But Winged Migration looks at a
variety of natural and manmade hazards birds face in the course
of their annual trek across this big planet.
It's a photographic marvel that took three
years to film and involved 14 cameramen; 17 pilots, gliders,
hot air balloons, and remote-controlled aircraft.
If you ever wished you could fly, you'll
feel as if you have.
Try not to miss this one. |
The most spectacular film of this summer
has no big stars and contains absolutely no special effects.
To top it off, it was nominated for an
Academy Award, a year ago.
Winged Migration takes
you to a place you've never been before, a place where you can
soar with the birds.
It's documentary filmmaking like you've
never seen it before, up close and personal. |
This film is like going on vacation away
from all the hype of the summer blockbuster movies.
At first it seemed like an ordinary bird
flick, but quickly transcends into a superior and vital nourishing
experience.
This mesmerizing Oscar-nominated documentary
is real.
The director, working with a brigade of
film crews over a number of years, in seven continents, put together
a beautiful and detailed celebration of migratory birds.
Plain and simple, reality dazzles us in
a world filled with wordless marvels of nature. |
