The first movie, or rather, documentary of 2010 started the year off with a bang. March of the Penguins is one of the best motion pictures of any genre I’ve ever seen.
This being a documentary, there is no screenplay, but there might as well have been. Basically, we are shown what the Emperor Penguin goes through, year in year out, to weather and prosper in one of the harshest and most inhospitable environments on Earth.
We are shown their summer and winter grounds and the routines they go through to find a mate, produce an egg, and care for it while surviving themselves.
The narration by Morgan Freeman is excellent, and there couldn’t have been better actors to tell this heart lifting and heartbreaking story of love, courage, devotion, and tenacity.
I so loved this documentary, I would mandate its vision!
