Subject: [NatureNS] The Big Year
Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca
Hi,
Just got back from seeing The Big Year at the local movie theater. I =
admit I went with some trepidation, fearing some degree of ridicule for =
keen birders, but it was handled well, and the idea of totally disparate =
characters becoming good friends through birding resonated well. Some of =
the acting and the characters were a bit "over the top", but the birding =
stuff was dead accurate - e.g. footage of the Xantus Hummer in Gibsons, =
BC, correct ID of all kinds of warblers etc., and good footage of many =
bird species. The scenes at Attu had something in common with Seal =
Island. I could identify well with one of the characters (those of you =
who know me and see the movie won't need to guess too hard). At least =
one of the minor characters was clearly based on a well known bird tour =
leader, and one of the main characters was, I suspect, an exaggerated =
version of another well known birder. I think that for once in the =
media, the bird and birding advisors have done the homework very well. =
I recommend that birders should go and see it for an interesting =
evening, a feeling of familiarity, and some good light-hearted moments.
Richard
