Notes et avis

Nicely edited b-roll of life centered around babies... which is great but if your professor asks you to write about it beware the lack of narration. I've been struggling not to tune the movie out because of its awkward dearth of speech. It gives me an instant feeling of "okay where is this going?" that makes me uncomfortable about my upcoming paper and triggers my anxiety.

I enjoyed watching this documentary about each birth of four babies around the world. The ending was just so heart warming. Every baby have that proud look when they first learn to stand. It reminds me of my nephew when he was musing over the fact that he learned to balance himself, let his little arm goes, and stand on his two little feet in his crib. It was just fulls of smiles, laughs, and giggles. Adorable!!!!

My husband had to watch this for a Developmental Pysch class and after just having my first child 10 months ago and watching the preview I wanted to watch it with him. It's an awesome film, I couldn't believe it was over. The little Namibian boy was a doll!! So fun to watch and interesting to see how the different cultures raise their children.
