She only knows to keep swim... to stay in her course.


Hi everyone, welcome back!
About 10 minutes ago, I just finished watching the greatness of the nature we always take for granted. I know it may not be a kind of a movie you would pick right away from Redbox or Netflix, I certainly enjoyed it therefore I will try to broaden your cinematic safety zone.

'Turtle: The Incredible Journey' documents the loggerhead turtle's life from the birth to the reproduction. This documentary movie not only narrates the incredible journey of a turtle, but also guides us to explore the hidden beauty of the sea-creatures and the ocean. Unlike the Hollywood movies, this movie creates a sentimental and awe inspiring atmosphere throughout the movie. The uniqueness of this movie is definitely its chronological plot that inspires people to think about the meaning of our life. As the loggerhead turtle starts a journey, she knows where to go by instinct. Though she faces lots of difficulty on the way, she overcomes and moves on. Somebody could say the loggerhead turtle doesn't mean anything; however, her bold journey left me a question at the end of the movie:

'What is the ultimate goal in your life? Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to earn it?'

Last, the harmonic combination between the beautiful scene and the orchestra assists the life of the turtle to be more interesting and dynamic. Without the orchestra this movie wouldn't be as appealing as it is now. Its sounding reminds me of Black Swan (2010) in which the orchestra describes the delicate changes of moods and emotions of characters. Addition to that, I like the way the producer illustrates how the turtle becomes stronger by facing those difficulties. I dare to say it is better than many of the Hollywood action movie (I couldn't breathe when the baby turtle try to escape from a vicious crab).

Overall, this movie is definitely worth watching it. You will journey with a cute turtle throughout the wide ocean. You will be overwhelmed by the courage and determination of the turtle in the movie. It will inspire you, and challenge you. Could be a great movie to watch with family or by yourself!
Have fun with the loggerhead!
