Microcosms

As we talked about in class, I've loved all of the recent Earth documentaries, and this one on insects was particularly cool. I'm not usually into bugs, but this film gave them real personality and such a great perspective on them because of how close the camera could get. With the addition of the sound and music it really told a story about "le peuple de l'herbe" which would literally translate to the population of the grass (which doesn't sound as nice in English but I think the sentiment suits the movie better than microcosms). I was surprised to hear how long ago it had been made considering how advanced the camera was that they were using.
