March of the Penguins
I finally saw the hit documentary entitled "March of the Penguins". It's a very touching story about the struggles that Antartica's Emperor Penguins are willing to go through to procreate.
Many people had told me that March of the Penguins was an excellent show, and since I am a fan of documentaries, I had to see it. I actually regret not going to see it while it was showing on the big screens; the movie has fantastic scenery, and I don't think my 27" TV did it any justice. The creators of the film very clearly risked life and limb to capture some fantastic footage of these penguins in their natural habitat.
I'm not going to spoil the movie by giving you the details of the story, you need to see it for yourself. Let me just say that after watching this film I had new respect for the courage that some animals display. I found the film enlightening because the persistence displayed by the penguins in the film parallels the ferocious persistence often needed in my life. I may never have to walk 70 miles through a barren frozen land to breed, but if a penguin can risk its life for the chance of producing a single offspring, then I'm sure I can endure another day at the office.
Hats off to the penguins.
