每年夏天是大片的黄金档期。吃晚饭的时候想起来很久没有看Yahoo上的电影介绍了， 不知道有些什么值得期待的新片。米国电影院放正片之前会放好多新电影的片花，叫trailer，2-3分钟一部，短小精悍，特别喜欢。Yahoo上也提供 很多，我有时候无聊了就会去看看。蝙蝠侠开始放了，阿汤哥的War of the Worlds也快放了（听说还去日本作了宣传，谄媚的和小犬首相见了面。日本人也真是变态，武士道被阿汤哥在最后的武士里糟蹋了一回了，还要欢天喜地的接 菩萨。），还有好多和午夜凶铃米国版类似的鬼片，我都不感兴趣，呵呵。Stealth看起来不错，喜欢外形亮丽的飞行器和疾速的感觉，有点想去看看。宫崎峻的霍尔的移动城堡快 要在米国上映了，宫爷爷的大名因为千与千寻票房大卖已经家喻户晓，其实差不多看过他的所有作品之后，我还是最喜欢风之谷和龙猫历险记两部，狸猫大作战也不 错，无哩头的搞笑。想想要是我们的大闹天宫可以搬到米国上映该有多好，美术，动作设计，音乐都是一流的，比投米国人所好的卧虎，飞刀门，还有莫名其妙的英 雄强一万倍。
终 于找到一部抓住我眼睛的纪录片，叫Match of the Penguins，是讲南极的皇帝企鹅（最漂亮的那种）长途迁徙，历经艰险，到繁殖地繁殖抚育后代的故事。看了trailer，面对严寒，缺少食物，其他兽类 的威胁，企鹅们要度过这一切艰辛，才能把幼兽毛茸茸的从蛋里孵出来。企鹅妈妈生完蛋之后，立刻就得原路返回去寻找食物，孵蛋的任务交给爸爸完成，不吃不喝两个 月（没错，两个月）之后小企鹅才能出世，等着妈妈带来食物。然后全家迁徙回到水边摄食，教会小企鹅各种生存的技能。然后新的循环再次开始，生生不息。
“Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, deep in the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, a truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber onto the frozen ice to begin their long journey into a region so bleak, so extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year. In single file, the penguins march blinded by blizzards, buffeted by gale force winds. Resolute, indomitable, driven by the overpowering urge to reproduce, to assure the survival of the species.
Guided by instinct, by the otherworldly radiance of the Southern Cross, they head unerringly for their traditional breeding ground where - after a ritual courtship of intricate dances and delicate maneuvering, accompanied by a cacophony of ecstatic song - they will pair off into monogamous couples and mate.
The days grow shorter, the weather ever more bitter. The females remain long enough only to lay a single egg. Once this is accomplished, exhausted by weeks without nourishment, they begin their return journey across the ice-field to the fish-filled seas. The journey is hazardous, and rapacious leopard seals a predatory threat. The male emperors are left behind to guard and hatch the precious eggs, which they cradle at all times on top of their feet. Subjected to subzero temperatures and the terrible trials of the polar winter, they too face great dangers.
After two long months during which the males eat nothing, the eggs begin to hatch. Once they have emerged into their ghostly white new world, the chicks can not survive for long on their fathers' limited food reserves. If their mothers are late returning from the ocean with food, the newly-hatched young will die.
Once the families are reunited, the roles reverse, the mothers remaining with their new young while their mates head, exhausted and starved, for the sea, and food. While the adults fish, the chicks face the ever-present threat of attack by prowling giant petrels. As the weather grows warmer and the ice floes finally begin to crack and melt, the adults will repeat their arduous journey countless times, marching many hundreds of miles over some of the most treacherous territory on Earth, until the chicks are ready to take their first faltering dive into the deep blue waters of the Antarctic.“
