As i watched this film i became insensed that the narrator who i thought was a kind caring man of the world, morgan freeman just sat back and watched as many chicks died, anyone agree with me?
sharei hate the way the people filming it just stand back and do nothing, just so that they can make money, it makes me very upset. they say u can't interfere with nature. BOLLOCKS. if a human or a dog or a cat is in trouble u help it out. there should be no difference here. they let some big bloody ugly git of a bird steal a bird. i hate that. i hate even more that the big penguins are so cowardly they don't step in and get rid of that bloody bird. maybe im takin this too seriously, but i really hate films about animals, and the scenes were they get killed or faint and die
shareBecause those penguins need to get busy livin', or get busy dyin'.
shareYou'll find that most wildlife photographers insist on nature taking its cause, so if a pack of lions are hunting down a zebra and feasting on its innards, they won't try to prevent it. However, I'm sure they'd feel differently if it was David Attenborough being torn to pieces. I'm sure they'd probably reach for their rifles at that point. So it's not consistent.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.
These posts only confirm what I have suspected for a long time. The world is full of morons and the penguins do deserve to become the pre-dominant species.
shareThats not the same thing at all. Besides, which animal do they shoot? The lion, because its attacking the zebra, or the zebra, so the lion can have an easier meal? Why would they pick one animal to help and not the other? Do they just shoot both and call it a day?
share"Why didnt morgan freeman help the dying chicks?"
I completely agree - instead of watching them walk 70 miles to the edge of the ice every time, he could have brought some buckets of fish to them instead.
And he could have hacked a hole in the ice closer to where they were to save them the trouble. Or perhaps move them all to a nice beach in Florida.
The best part was when Morgan Freeman smashed all the eggs with a crowbar while shouting "JOHN DOE HAS THE UPPER HAND HERE!"
shareHaha! I think I just LOL'ed.
I think it would've been a better movie had they dragged all the narrators out there to narrate real-time, complaining about how cold it was and stuff.
Wow, the lack of intelligence in this thread made me have a brain shortage for an entire 10 seconds. It's amazing. You actually thought Morgan Freeman went to Antarctica to NARRATE this movie? A foreign movie at that????
Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made for kissing, not for such contempt
I don't know if he was on the trip to Antarctica, and the filmamkers spent 13 months filimg this movie, and let say if he was there, what much could he do for the dying chicks? He isn't really a licensed doctor. And even if they have a profssional with them, what much could they do?
shareOne time in a Time magazine, I found a series of pictures that showed a lioness attacking a zebra as it was giving birth. The legs were coming out and the zebra was trying to get away and the photographer just kept taking the picture, didn't try to stop it or anything. They "let nature take its course." It was hard to look at. I'd sure hate to be a wildlife photographer.
Well................lions need to eat too. For every zebra they manage to kill and eat, maybe 10 zebras get away and the lions don't eat. But still.... why put that in a national magazine.
==============================
On the road to nowhere fast.
Well look what happened in the US, people killed almost all the natural predators (wolves, coyotes, etc.) and now deer totally are overpopulated! Besides, I don't think a photographer could really stop a lion. What is he supposed to do, hit it on the head with his camera?
share"What is he supposed to do, hit it on the head with his camera?"
Hahaha!
Try to stop taking the picture. Sorry I mislead you.
Actually not try, just stop taking the pictures. OK I see how you were mislead. Sorry, that was pure stupidity on my part. I need to watch what I say.
==============================
Eating crow and it's not quite tasty.
PS remembers me of the video on Animals Going Wild. This video showed a moose attacking an elderly man for maybe 20 seconds, finally he was on the pavement and the moose smashed his head. Stop taking the pictures and call 911 for Christ sakes. Unless someone else was calling 911.
Another PS, the twin towers burning on 9/11, a video had guy ran into the building and behind him was a woman just came out of a stairwell on fire and others were trying to smother the fire, you could hear the shrieks and the voiceover of the man remarked behind him a woman was on fire but he didn't turn to film it, as he said he didn't think the public needed to view that. I appreciate that idea.
I don't know I think he was busy clubbing seals at the time
