Johnny Depp cements his status as best actor in his 30s with this role and basically carries the movie. Minimal cheese, so overall a delightful fantasy on screen. This is what movies SHOULD be. Hooray for pirates. Hooray that Orlando Bloom got to re-use his swordsmanship training from LOTR for this flick. Arrrr, matey, go see it.
Birds in flight, migrating north in the spring and south in the fall. It is glorious to behold, with no special effects, but breathtaking shots achieved with mini-helicopters and hot air balloons. Cranes moments before landing, with their legs outstretched and flailing; penguins swimming enmasse, like salmon going upstream to mate. Geese geese geese. Other birds I don't remember. A visual treat, with minor voiceover and subtitles detailing bird names and migration lengths.
Adam Sandler and Emily Watson? Paradigm shift and voila! beautiful movie.
AMAZING movie shot in 1956 with Picasso painting in front of a camera so you see every stroke he makes. He painted 15 pictures just for this documentary, and destroyed most of them after the filming. The very definition of an art film.
