: Winged Migration
Remarkable film about the migration of birds from the birds’ point of view. We actually follow along side of flying birds as they migrate, giving us an incredible, never-before-seen view. The closeups and photography are truly amazing. However, there isn’t any sort of plot to the movie and it gets a little repetitive even with different species of birds. Bird lovers probably won’t find it boring, but I’m not particularly in love with birds (though this film certainly took me a step in that direction). I found the “making of” documentary on the DVD more interesting than the film itself. Here we learn how 500 people spent four years making the film, actually growing the birds we see from hatchlings so they would grow up used to the sound of ultralight motors and the presence of humans. Very impressive.
