In spite of the documentary’s evolutionary perspective and
survival of the fittest depictions, I watched in awe at how God created these
beautiful birds and the instincts he placed within them. Viewing it from a
creation perspective, it takes on a beauty that far transcends that of the
scenery and photography.
The documentary was interesting, but storylines in nature
documentaries are always questionable when the writers attempt to attribute
human thought and characteristics to animals and supposedly follow the life of
single animal throughout the movie. That type of appeal doesn’t persuade me.
The chicks were cute, though, and I rooted for their
survival. Most of them did survive, although death scenes from predators were
too often and too long, so I wouldn’t recommend the movie for children. I kept my head
in the sofa pillow and my ears covered off and on throughout the movie. Death
happens, but dwelling on the details of the struggle isn’t enriching.
If you click on the picture, the link will take you to the
trailer. View it though the eyes of creation and stand in awe of the magnificence
of God.
