I've known for a while that I "should" see Winged Migration. But I really rebelled -- who wants to sit through a feature-length film with hardly any talking, and just watching birds? Having seen Winged Migration last night I am here to tell you rent this movie and watch it as soon as you can.
Also, watch the "Making of Winged Migration" clips on the DVD. It is really interesting to discover that this is NOT a documentary, more it is a movie featuring the birds as actors. The creators of the movie staged a lot of the scenes -- bringing their imprinted birds to a particular location and then flying with them. It's a bit of a bubble burst to discover that it wasn't all just natural, however, the perspectives viewed from this movie are extraordinary.
