What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

We rented some videos for this weekend, and while there, I snatched up the March of The Penguins as a purchase. Penguins have ALWAYS been a passion of mine, long before the rest of the world had noticed their inherent charm. Whenever there was a nature special on TV about penguins, I was all over it. I collected stuffed penguins and penguin figurines and books about penguins. When this movie hit the theaters last year, I thought it had been made just for me…I thought I was the only one in the world who had a ‘thing’ for penguins. Whoever chose Morgan Freeman as the narrator must’ve had me in mind too – I LOVE Morgan Freeman – I could listen to that man talk about absolutely NOTHING for hours on end.

The filmography in this film is incredible…especially the underwater scenes. I have to stand in awe of the team that documented this journey as much as I am in awe of the dedication of the animals to the survival of their own species. What an amazing and beautiful and moving story. It’s incredible that such a beautiful life form can be sustained in such a bitter, desolate place. GAWD, I love my penguins…and Morgan Freeman.
