The Big Year

Four Stars: ˜˜˜˜

This movie was not what I was expecting from three such comedic giants—it was more. The story was about so much more than ornithology or “birding” as they call it. It was a journey along the thin line between passion and obsession. Each of the characters is into bird watching for different reasons, but the motivations behind their hobby are universal. This film makes you question why you live your life the way you do, since that is much more important than the how.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
“No prize money but the bird seed endorsements are huge!”
“I’d like to see the birds of China one day. Know anything about them?” – “Peking duck?”
“They’re men, dear. If they ever stop competing, they die.”
