David Attenborough, one of very few you can hold in as high regard as Gandhi or MLK, calmly and clearly enunciates his experiences throughout his 94 years, bearing witness to the carnage, the chaos and the destruction wrought by the populations of this world on the oceans, the landscapes and all the lifeforms we inhabit and share our planet with. He presents us with a pathway to recovery, a way to repair, to make amends. No histrionics or melodrama, a simple message, of learning a lesson, of reparation and recovery, of sustainability, longevity and perpetuity.
If, like most, it's a story and message you're familiar with, make today the first day of the rest or your life - go for it, start making the changes the future yous need you to make, to save their world, the flora and fauna, from the imminency of self inflicted mass extinction, holocaust, genocide and Armageddon. Make today the day that you decide to change your world and, by doing so, help to re-establish and rebalance the scales of nature that have been so biased and skewed by the sinister and greedy enterprises of fossil fuels, inorganic mammal and poultry production, these manufacturers and machines of chaos - make a difference today, make a difference tomorrow but above all make a difference while you still have the chance to make that difference, and a chance to make that difference count!

"David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet" is a Documentary - Biography movie in which we follow David Attenborough through his adventures and his observations around the world. He travels us in the world he watched all these years and presents the changes that occurred since then.
I liked this documentary very much and I believe that everyone has to watch it, I highly recommend it to everyone. In this documentary David Attenborough presents us some moments of his previous documentaries from his start until today. In this way it's easier for us to truly understand how much the environment has changed and how much was human's influence on it. Even if you have already watched some others documentaries of David Attenborough like "Planet Earth", "Planet Earth II", "The Blue Planet", "Blue Planet II", "Frozen Planet" or "Our Planet", I am absolutely sure that you will be amazed by this one because it's a big surprise and it's more than you expect. Finally, I will use two phrases of David Attenborough because I found them very interesting, important and I believe that it's food for thought for everyone of us: 1) "We require more than intelligence to survive, we require wisdom..." and 2) "If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us...".
(D)evolving
Depending on when you were born and where you were born, some things the very famous David A. is showing to us here, will be familiar or not. Wilderness is something that is not seen as a positive word. Because we use "civilized" and well educated and organized and other words to describe something positive. Or what we consider positive.
Why am I even saying that? Well just to put things into perspective. And to make you realize where the movie comes from. Visually this is amazing. And all the animals? I just love that. Some may feel differently about that of course. But this is about the animals as much as the wilderness and the planet as a whole. Something we tend to forget. Not just during a pandemic (which helped the world itself heal a little as I've come to understand),but generally speaking.
A documentary that seems to have found the right crowd (considering the rating here, good for the movie). Consider that before you watch it for the wrong reasons - because if you don't feel the message, you won't like the movie/documentary either.
