Hey everybody,
It's after 2:30 am here in the Minneapolis area but I just got
home from a midnight viewing of "The Big Year" with our Birds and
Beers group and I wanted to post a quick review. I know lots of
people have had concerns about how birders and birding would be
portrayed in the film but have no fears, this movie is everything I
hoped it would be. I don't know how it compares to the book but on
its own it is funny, passionate and touching. Is it 100% accurate -
no but it is a lot better than I expected. The attention to detail is
impressive, our own Sax-Zim Bog gets a mention early on in the film.
The shot of courting Bald Eagles is outstanding!
I don't know if everyone will be as enthusiastic as I am right now
but I highly recommend seeing it. Even the soundtrack is good. A
quick thank-you to Clay Taylor from Swarovski Optik who saw the movie
with us and provided a few door prizes.
This is one I'll see again...
