Image via WikipediaReminds me of when I was child in Germany. Eight years old. I stepped on a SLUG... and we buried it right along with a tidy little ceremony.How many baby sparrows did I nurture back to flight? Ahh, nature. I found a chrysalis once and waited for it to "hatch" into a butterfly. We found Polly-wogs in a stream... then the polly-wogs turned into frogs right before our eyes!
We were so much closer to the earth then than today's children seem to be... with their well-developed Gaming Thumbs.
This is one FILM that you AND your family should view together. Wait, I might take that back as it could result in nightmares FOR the little ones. HECK, it might in me! Nature CAN be the worst HORROR show... cuz it's REAL! So be discerning in age range and BEWARE the SPIDER scene.
But WOW. It does engender respect for life, all life... at all levels.
Plus, it's just FRICKEN FREAKY... a bee "making love" to a flower... and the flower responds?! Lends a whole new light to the expression "the birds and the birds". Amazing.
It's a psychedelic experience without psychotropic drugs.
Fantas-magorical!
Who knew that Lady Bugs were carnivorous and not just LADIES? And Snails engaging... OMG! How long did they have to wait to catch that scene?
Like "Baraka", it is non-narrative, no words... just deep deep impact.
