March of the Penguins
click to zoom

Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, deep in the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, a truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber onto the frozen ice to begin their long journey into a region so bleak, so extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year.

Release Date: 2005

Director: Luc Jacquet

Pros: It made me WANT to love em
Cons: but I just didn't fall in love

When Morgan Freeman speaks, it really means something.

But at the end of the film I just wasn't convinced that Penguins fall in love. I thought I would learn something about penguins watching this film, but I was left with more questions than answers. Analyzing penguins anthropologically left me feeling that they somehow sub-standard humans.
