March of the Penguins: The Movie

I watched the remarkable "March of the Penguins" today. Yes, a little bit late but I have mentioned about my delayed reactions (except in badminton courts) earlier... Anyways, lets shift focus to the Penguins here. The cameramen and directors had done a splendid job obviously. Remember that surviving in the polar colds, with winds that can knock the bejesus out of a penguin, is not an easy task for a human (even if they work for National Geographic).

The narration was humorous at parts and embellished the video, which was perfectly stiched to match the story. The penguins did a good job (unintentionally I assume) and all in all, it turned out to be a pleasant hour and a half of movie watching. Some of the shots were brilliant like the ones where they show a leopard seal chasing the penguins or the shots of penguins rushing to jump into the water (and the BLUEEE water ripples and the entire sequence is shown in slow motion). My favorite though was the scene when a mother penguin pushes her rather shy kid to go out and explore the world. After much resistance, our friend lazily ventures out, throws up his little arms in delight and begins to quack and squeal in delight!

And don't forget to take someone who appreciates such movies. If you married it, excellent. If not, pick up your phone and...
