This is such a beautiful and informative documentary! I love nature so much and to see how so many creatures are a part of the LGBT community is amazing and it proves that homophobia just exists with humans. This world of ours is so beautiful and big and wonderful and humans have destroyed with their hate and darkness. We need more light and more love and more hope and positivity and goodness in this world! Homophobia should have never ever existed! Being a part of the LGBTQIA community is natural and normal. This documentary needs to be shown to classrooms and universities everywhere! This documentary is so important!
Queer Planet is a well-intentioned, visually stunning and enjoyably informative documentary, but also more than somewhat muddle-headed. In the concluding comments to the film the various scientist-presenters make the point that being more informed about just how queer nature can be might be key to humans being more tolerant of each other. It's odd then that Queer Planet is somewhat exclusively pitched at a queer audience, and would more than likely alienate those who most need to hear what it has to say. A big part of the problem is the gayer-than-gay narration by Andrew Rannells, jam-packed with gay culture allusions and you-go-gurl snark. It quickly becomes tiresome and by the end I would have been ready to endorse a fatwa on Rannells. I doubt your average straight viewer would find it appealing, much less entertaining. And anyone who came to the film sceptical or wary would instantly turn it off on the strength of the narration alone. There's a case for levity when it comes to selling science, but the wrong kind of levity only undermines and de-legitimises the science. This is very definitely the wrong kind of levity.
This documentary has made me very, very angry. For years as a gay man I have had society treat me with both hostility and irreverence. This abnormal response by the "normal" is the misconception that homosexuality or similar is non productive, which has been emphasised by our religions, which founded the basis of Common Law. In this documentary, matters of scientific fact completely dispel our human illogical, irrational and paranoid perceptions regarding sexuality. This documentary proves that same sex couples adopt orphans and raise them as their own and so much more. What makes my blood boil is that for tens of years, television documentary makers have filmed in the wild and have misrepresented the animal kingdom to us all. Who's playing God! Well done to all for this documentary. More power to your elbow.
This nature documentary is a stunning visual journey that immerses viewers in the beauty and complexity of the natural world. With breathtaking cinematography, the film captures the essence of diverse ecosystems, showcasing the intricate lives of animals and plants in vivid detail. The narration is both informative and engaging, guiding viewers through the wonders of nature with clarity and enthusiasm. The documentary's ability to highlight the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. This is a must-watch for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a deeper appreciation of the world around us!!
I've wrote the same words/review for another movie, but they are both in my mind, equally toppers, that other movie is Euphoria.
I wanted to equally share my view on both of them, using the same words.
A truly well made film, reflecting things as I also see and understand them.
It's not all roses and goodness on this planet, in one way or another, it's a hard world for all of us out there, especially for those that are unjustly viewed, miss understood, miss treated and rejected, let me say "ironically enough?!", but it's absolutely not funny at all, it's done by those that are actually in the wrong themselves, especially by being above all, ignorant, not wanting to know, rejecting our natural and genuine differences, when it has always been this way, nature makes the right choices and rules.
It's not a matter of just being male or female alone, that determines consensual love and affection for anyone else, love and companionship is found when souls are compatible, love is truly blind, it does not look at size, shape, colour, species or races, the same and inseparably, goes for at least most other animal species on this whole planet.
In the least, we need more people to understand that, we are all genuinely different, have different views and needs, but are all equally worthy of the same respect and treatment, we would want to receive ourselves in return.
And it doesn't matter if I'm ''so said'' "straight or not", I support the LGBTQ plus community, as it's also included in the following:
I'm ethically and morally all for veganism and support the Ahimsa belief, because they both support the following: I'm all for environmental, human and non human animal rights, because no matter where from in the entire universe, they are equally all one concern.
🌱🤜🤛🏾✨
