This is from the documentary Encounters at the end of the World. For some unknown reason that penguin is running away from the rest of the others into the bleak and seemingly endless tundra.

The documentary is actually very interesting and the people they interview in Antarctica are quite fascinating.

I always wonder, if you traveled with, and fed the penguin on his journey. Where would he eventually stop. Or would he circle the globe in one constant direction forever?

[–]Diiiiirty 0 points1 point ago

he was relocating to Galapagos :D

[–]WhiskeySeven 0 points1 point ago

Good question but I figure - like any other animal - the penguins' direction and needs will change after every sleep and threat.

[–]flowstone 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Was he running away from the group of the others, or did he just get lost?

[–]redline582 16 points17 points ago

He was running. They're referred to as "deranged penguins."

If I remember correctly something in its directional sense gets messed up and the penguin thinks it's going to the ocean, which it continues to do until it starves to death miles inland.

This scene touched me in a couple of ways.

We see tons of Hollywood movies where the protagonist(s) are up against terrible odds and yet they almost always succeed. In this case, the penguin is heading to his most certain demise towards the mountains. This sounds like a typical plot to a movie about beating the odds. Conquer the journey before you and achieve victory. It's uplifting. One part of me wanted to say, "go, penguin, go!" But this isn't Hollywood. It's real. We know the penguin's odds are pretty slim. I was filled with despair at this. Beating overwhelming odds doesn't happen as often as fiction might lead us to believe.

The second way was the perspective it gave me. There's the penguin. We know it's probably not going to make it. We're superior beings observing inferior beings and we predict the likely outcome. It makes me wonder if somewhere someone might look at us the same way we see this penguin.

Is there anyway you could make one the size of your average desktop background? If so could you please post it.

[–]MirrorLake 1 point2 points ago

Is your desktop 16:9 and smaller than 1920x1080? That's how big a screenshot of the blu-ray would be. And a tad bit blurry if you view it at full size, the film wasn't given a very crisp transfer.

And so it was that the lone wanderer ventured forth, from vault 101. Intent on discovering the fate of a father, who had once sacrificed the future of humanity, for that of his only child.

The Capitol Wastelands proved a cruel, inhospitable place, but the lone wanderer refused to surrender to the vices that had claimed so many others. The values passed on from father to child: Selflessness, compassion, honour, Guided this noble soul through countless trials, and triumphs.

But it was not until the end of this long road that the lone wanderer learned the true meaning of that greatest of virtues; sacrifice. Stepping into the irradiated control chamber of project purity. The child followed the example of the father, sacrificing life itself for the greater good of mankind.

Thankfully, when selected by the sinister president to be his instrument of annihilation. The wanderer, refused. humanity, with all it's flaws was deemed worthy of preservation. The waters of life flowed at last. Free and pure. For any and all. The Capitol Wasteland, at long last. Was Saved.

So ends the story of the lone wanderer. Who stepped through the great door of vault 101, and into the annals of legend... But the tale of hummanity will never come to a close. For the struggle of survival is a war without end...

And war... War never changes.

"The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs."
