《March of the Penguins》

我挺纳闷的为甚么要翻译成《帝企鹅日记》?

我暂把它列为我今年到目前为止看过的最好看的电影。

上周初一份快递到我手上的时候，我还很奇怪里面装的是什么，拆开看才知道是这张牒。听说了很久，但新西兰一直没上映。

此电影目前好象只看到在美国上映。实在没想到朋友就买了张牒寄过来。（看来我喜欢企鹅已经扬名海外了，呵呵，kidding）。

虽然只是DVD，但仍然有很好的音画，很好的主题曲。非常喜欢里面的空灵女声。真希望哪天它能在新西兰上映。我就再去电影院看一次。

法国人拍摄的类似记录片几乎从没让我失望过。如果大家曾经看过《鸟与梦的飞行》，（也被称为《迁徙的鸟》）并且喜欢的话，就可以大胆想象这部《March of the Penguins》有多么精美。

喜欢企鹅。

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

With short steps, bent under the pitiless burden of a driving snowstorm, the emperor penguin labours through a vast labyrinth of ice. Around him, all is white, all is in violent flux. Yet the valiant bird never falters, undaunted by seemingly insurmountable obstacles. He keeps going. In this land where no other creature ventures, the emperor continues on to his romantic rendezvous. As it follows the winter migration of the emperor penguin, "March of the Penguins" tells a tale of legendary proportions, portraying the strange, spectacular destiny of powerful and emotionally-involving characters, rich in courage and humour, mystery and manifest drama.

My goal is to dig from the ice a story which has never seen the light of day for want of a teller. A true story, however extraordinary. A story repeated every winter, as it has been for hundreds of thousands of years. But there has never been a generation of men to witness and shape it, to pass it down, for man has never colonized the Antarctic. The emperor penguin had never encountered man before the first polar explorers arrived barely a century ago. In 1950, when tentative, makeshift bases were established here, scientific observation had replaced legend as Man's preferred narrative.

The emperor penguin and man have not lived together long enough for folktales or myths to develop. They remain strangers, crossing on rare occasions in the vast desert expanses of the Antarctic.

With this in mind, my desire is to tell a real story: through the extraordinary images of the emperor penguin during the austral winter, images that have always fascinated me; and with words worthy of both the Antarctic's excessive nature, and the emperor's epic destiny. It is time for the emperor's legend to be told.
