Movie: Blue Planet
Posted by: Guest
Rating: Excellent
This is a lyric poem delivered in film media. It's them is simple: Earth is your mother, you should love your mother. It's departure point is the vantage of space, from which one can look back and see, you guessed it, a blue planet, Earth. Altho it includes the magical "Earth rise" picture taken aboard the Apollo trip at Christmas 1968 (?), it adds to that magical image a cascade of vistas all over the world. It is narrated by a woman whose voice, against the backdrop of a touching score, ultimately takes you over. You hear her describe the power of nature, the magic of renewal, and yes the tragedy of extinction, noting clearly that man -- not the snail darter -- is in reality the endangered species. The film is powerful, visually, intellectually, and most importantly, emotionally. It ends with a series of simple statements. Earth is home to the Arabs and the Jews. Earth is home to the Vietnamese. She is home to all of us.
