This fictionalized documentary shows the migration of birds throughout the world. During several months, birds fly thousands and thousands of miles to get to new latitudes for the new season. Particularly, we follow the goose during their migration across Europe. During their trip, hunters shot them down, they get stuck in industrial sludge. But they continue their flight because it is in their own nature.
First, let's say that this movie is a great technical accomplishment. We are so close to the birds that we really feel that we are flying with them. I was impress by the scene when the gooses fly over Paris. Since I lived their, I felt like a mystery was revealed, i. e. the miracle of migration happening in front of us every year without being able to notice it, being too busy with our lives. Setting aside the technical accomplishments, this documentary is a huge pleasure to watch. Being so close to the birds, we adopt their point of view. We see a planet with no humans, except at the beginning and at the end of the movie where we see a little boy watching the birds commencing and ending the migration. From the sky, human cities look hostile, mean and dangerous, an impression strengthened during the scene of the shooting and that of the industrial sludge: not very flattering for our species. It is probably not a coincidence if the movie end at the location where it begun. It represents the cycle of life, that of migration and seasons, that of death and birth. Truly a great emotional experience 10/10.
