Blackbird's Two Minute Movie Reviews
Babies is a wonderful, small, quiet film about the first year in the lives of four babies...
Ponijao, who lives in Namibia,
Mari, who lives in Japan,
Bayar who lives in Mongolia! And,
Hattie, who lives in the US.
I say it's a small quiet film as it has no voice-over, no dialogue and just a little music with ambient sound. It is, blissfully, not narrated.
I loved it.
It's a tiny snapshot of each of these sweet babies and is such a lovely portrait of different lives...
each baby captured my heart...
and there was little saccharine sentiment to bog the pictures down.
I'm trying to make Middle watch it! Or maybe Youngest...Oldest might, even!
Look! Bayar can walk! It's a moment of triumph.
And, I know I said I wanted to live in Tibet, but NOW I want to live in Mongolia, in a rug-strew yurt with a motorcycle and satellite television.

Mongolia seems far away enough ... and if there's satellite well, it's a win win.

And Ponijao? Every germophobic mommy with a newborn needs to see how healthy that little boy was--dirt and all.
