Beauty with a warning
If you want to see absolutely spectacular footage of birds and nature, this is the best I have ever seen. The filming was extraordinary, just amazing. The film has minimal narrative, and hardly needs even that. You find yourself laughing at comical footage of some of the birds, and then just plain marveling at the beauty captured on film. And then it is ruined for no good reason. Why is it is that self-proclamined animal lovers feel obliged to always remind us that bad things happen to critters? I know they die; I know that bad things too often happen at the hand of man. I know these things happen, and this is not a discourse against hunting. I was even a hunter myself as a boy and young man. And unless you eat tofu all the time and have no leather products in your possession and don't use any products derived from petroleum, you too contribute to those bad things that happens to animals. Is it too naive to expect that we can have an hour or two in which we can simply delight in creation? <

>If every love story ended with the brutal death of one or both of the lovers, if every story of victory ended with the senseless death of the victor, if every triumph ended with a recap and reminder of failure, I think we would look for inspiration elsewhere. In the case of Winged Migration, I didn't even finish watching it. If you can balance beauty--and believe me this movie does have real beauty--with birds being blown out of the air, then I can recommend this movie to you. The unpleasant scenes are brief, and if this honesty requires that you vote this review as unhelpful, then be my guest. I am simply trying to spare those who do not want to be surprised by unpleasant scenes. This is a review of the movie--not a political forum.

Winged Migration
Simply superb,- the photography, the dedication to bring this film about. In the world of film documentation, it will be a classic for years to come. For the young ones a wonderful way to spend with nature, perhaps also in small installments, as they have the patience to sit still, as this is not a Disney kind of entertrainment. <
>A wonderful way of talking to children about the wonders of birds, what makes them fly, how man tries to imitate and succeeded, the people involved to film this story, their dedication, and that good things take dedication and time; miracles - like this documentary - take even longer. But what a result. Thanks
