We have a 5 weeks old baby. It was great - and very interesting to see this movie, primarily because
BUT:
All-in-all: a good movie. Cute. Will make you smile. Will make you laugh. You might get some ideas what to do with your baby. Will make you think everything's all right. In Black Africa too. Don't expect a too much in-depth experience.
- you never take a peak into lives of forgotten African (Namibian) or Asian (Mongolian) cultures and from Europe Tokyo, Japan seemed very unusual too
- there is plenty of cuteness and tranquility in the fact that the 4 babies reach age 1 without any major issues. It calms you down as a parent
- apart from babies you see beautiful landscapes and animals too
BUT:
- this movie fails to address the facts that living anywhere as a baby in the world is NOT the same (2 out of 1000 infants die in Japan while 36 do in Namibia, not to mention diseases, pain, etc.)
- we see the good, the smile, the cute and we see... ...boredom. But many of the other emotions as worries, health issues, etc. seem non-existent
- you need to think long and hard until practices like circumcision and excision come to your mind
All-in-all: a good movie. Cute. Will make you smile. Will make you laugh. You might get some ideas what to do with your baby. Will make you think everything's all right. In Black Africa too. Don't expect a too much in-depth experience.
