Winged Migration (2001)  December 6, 2003 at 7:00 and 10:00pm in 26-100 and December 7, 2003 at 10:00pm in 26-100. "transports you to an exalted realm where nature operates under its own
inviolable laws and humanity is...a crude, destructive interloper" "awesome to regard" Do you dream of flying far above the world, of existing with the sole purpose of surviving to feel the wind on your wings, breathe the fresh air hundreds of feet above the ground, and dive gracefully into the ocean to catch fish fresher than any human has eaten in centuries? Even if you haven't, you will after seeing this film, which will take you there, allow you to soar with the flock and feel as if you were one of them, complete with the impartial, yet unquestionably condemning, observation of the human influence on their lives. The cinematography is breathtaking, and you may wonder how some of the shots were even possible. But most of all, here is a chance to experience - on the big screen - visuals like you have never seen before, and to understand avian existence in a whole new way. No manufactured storyline or preachy narrator interferes with this perfectly blissful experience, so take a break from the hosage of end of term to spend an hour and a half in awestruck ecstasy. |
