My impression of the "Microcosmos" film.

After watching Microcosmos, I really felt that the film brought me into the micro-world of insects. I felt as it was a little story of the life of insects in a big green world. The film is accompanied by the music it the background which helps to perceive the whole beauty of the image. The film is very interesting to watch because of the colors, music, shapes of the insects and the close-up which gives the opportunity to see everything very close and neatly. The wild shapes of those creatures and the colors used in this movie make the film a truly fascinating picture. I was wondering how the photographers could get such amazing close-ups that we could see all tiny details on the insects. Sometimes, the shots were so close that it appeared hard at first to recognize a one particular insect. But, once you recognize it, you receive a new impression and view of what you saw before as an usual animal (insect). There were also some insects that were not quite familiar, but, were beautiful and interesting to observe anyway. I really liked how the creators record some small insects and made them look huge and massive animals on the screen. Some scenes impressed me a lot; for instance, the scene with the rain, where you could see every drop of the water falling on the field of grass which, suddenly, appears to us as a huge forest. Moreover, besides the amazing music played at the background, the sound the insects were making was so natural and real as if you had this insect just in front of you, on your hand. All those ways, including, music, sounds of the nature, colors, shapes, close pictures and an amazing close-up, were employed in order to transform this non-verbal film into a fascinating and interesting story. The incredible camera-work make you feel a small creature too, sitting on the grass, in the middle of this wild nature.

I would recommend this movie to everyone as a "meditation or relaxing time passing" :)

Note: the film is non-verbal, it contains only the music, the sound of the insects and nature, and the amazing shots of the wild forest and its inhabitants.
