One of my all time favorites.
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Another excellent documentary from BBC in the wonders of... series. The animals shown in this documentary series are so beautiful and also the explanation part is mind blowing. I actually went through some of the important details 2-3 times, as i wasn't listening carefully to get the actual details. Brian Cox as usual comes with so some simple methods in explaining the concepts of life and the evolution of life to its present existence. Also Brian takes us into different parts of the world for explaining the evolution process and gives us details about life and its transformation with just simple basics. I also had experience of knowing about some new organisms and some new ideas with the evolution of life on our planet.
Wonders of life is a five episodes documentary in which professor Brian Cox explains how and why life exists on our planet, he does that by asking one simple question, what is life and what is energy. Besides the relationship and how life makes use of the energy for living, professor Brian Cox talks about the implication of having an expanding universe, how the force of gravity rules the size of living things and the huge variety of species. Every episode is very well made, full with really cool graphics and soundtrack, the camera work is very solid and the narrative is just perfect in such way that keeps you interested at every moment. I would have to say that i enjoyed watching this so much that i didn't want it to ever end, give it a try and you won't be disappointed.
