Every once in a while a movie is made that makes your heart leap for joy due to it's originality or beauty. The documentary March of the Penguins recently had that affect on me. How was this little movie able to rise above the sea of big budget summer blockbusters? Yes, it is a story about penguins. The emperor penguins of Antarctica. But, it's so much more than just watching the Animal Planet from your living room. Morgan Freeman narrates the trek of these creatures to find love and breed during the harshest time of the year, winter at 80 below zero. The camera captures every moment and that in itself is pretty amazing. I loved watching the exact minute that the baby penguins broke through the shells to join the world. It's really more than a survival story. It's about finding and giving love at all costs. How heroic.
