    A powerful love story

    The film is: 1) A powerful love story, and 2) warning about disappearing from the Earth last pieces of land (oasis) where animals live without being hunted to extinction by the most vicious predator (human). The filmmaker had tremendous guts and vision: in 1983 he produced a masterpiece that makes us love the nature and the animals and he properly name it "Disappearing oasis" to warn us that such places that we all love and cherish are disappearing at exponential rate. Massacre of environment happens on global scale: most sacred and most needed by life on Earth trees are being massacred by human predator. Gold mining, illegal tree cutting, illegal ranching in Amazon already destroyed a lot of sacred trees. I liked "AMAZON with Bruce Perry." Most vicious predator (human) must learn to stop destroying its own environment if we want to have any places left on Earth (like the one depicted in Disappearing Oasis). Most vicious predator must stop unbounded (exponential) reproduction: it leaves no space for healthy environment for most vicious predator and leaves no space for animals.

    Its a must see!

    Well i know when i am writing this there are only 14 votes posted, and the score 99% is a bit high, its a real shame this was probably released on Video only in the regions of former Yugoslavia. Video transfer seems old in some spots, and should maybe be repaired, well as i said shame this movie isn't seen bye more people. And i bet it would win the Oscar for documentary if in competition today. I must say i shed tears only in few movies (e vita e bella, Schindlers list, Requiem for a dream...etc) and this is one of them too. Its a classic love story. And its comical in a way too. It has lots of "sex" scenes, but thats just the fun part. Its all nature. The part that probably hammered me the most was the part that big bird waited for his crippled partner the whole winter instead flying of to the warmer lands, and then....Oh man, i am on the edge of crying just remembering this. I wont spoil it now for the rest who haven't watched it.

    The most touching film I've ever seen!

    I don't have a custom of watching same movies for many times. It must be really good to deserve the honor of being primary preoccupation of my life for hour and a half or two. But this one, I've watched four times, by now and I have a plan to watch it few times more. It is indeed the most touching film I've ever seen, it is indeed a film about love, even though that word is not pronounced once in it. Even though there is no human character in the movie! Film is about 13th born wild boar, who is rejected by his mother and by his elder brothers and sisters. Wandering the forest, he looks for someone to give him company, to shelter him. Finally, he is accepted by roe family: mother and father with their Bambi. These are the first moments in the film that makes you melt like an ice-cream and cry. Culmination of the film is flood. The whole forest is covered with water and all the animals are in panic. Total chaos and total disaster. Animals losing their homes, lives, their young ones. Gitzko (newborn boar) and young roe with his mother are saved on the 'last oasis', a higher piece of terrain which wasn't cover with water. They are waiting for the roe-buck, but in wain. His quest to return to his family ends tragically, as he dies not far away from them. Frankly, I don't know anybody who watched this film and didn't cry at these last scenes.
