La vida a color con David Attenborough

It's my first time watching a nature documentary and maybe this is why I found this one so attractive. But "attractive" wasn't the only thought. It was an amazing experience. I loved every single detail. It's interesting and full of colour. I really enjoyed it.

There is a brilliant effort by David Attenborough and his team to give us all preview of beauty of life in a Netflix series called 'Life in Colour'

It's fascinating, enthralling and some of the beautiful mysteries of wild life unravelled and shown in three parts,; Seeing, Hiding and Chasing in colour.

Well till I saw this I had thought Peacock was a colourful being, Chameleon changed colours, zebra was black and white but never knew why all this was....

It is an amazing film( how they have done their camera work is shown at the end) where even a tiniest of being in the wild uses color to its advantage, how its not just the chameleon that changes color and how the zebra uses its stripes as a defence system!!

I don't think my excitement of having watched 2 parts so far can be poured in words... cause it's a wonderful connection of the filmmaker and his subjects that is so universal that it needs to be seen and experienced!!

Watch this and I bet you will realise life is soo beautiful with colour or black and white! It will take your mind to a beautiful place! Enjoy!!!

Let me start off by saying that this is a fine documentary in the standard Attenborough-style. However the first episode, which is also the most important to get people to watch the rest is the worst of the three. It is a tad repetitive and there are a lot of scenarios avid documentary viewers will already have seen.

Episode rating for me is like this. Ep1: 7, ep2: 8 and ep3: 8.5, end result is an 8 overall.

People that haven't seen as many documentaries will be able to get more out of this series, but for me it doesn't reach the same heights as series like Planet Earth or Our Planet. Don't get me wrong, this is still a competent and enjoyable show which I do recommend.

This felt more like a fluff piece, but its better then nothing. Beautiful photage as always and the background music score was kept a bit more subtle and not (blasting and over the top as in the latest planet earth series) so we could enjoy the photage in peace.

I'm a sucker for anything Attenborough and this short two-part documentary sees him anciently roaming the land like a wonderful turtle and taking in the multifarious ways that colour affects life in the animal world. It's unclear if the brevity of the series was due to real life goings-on but even two short hours of it is lovely - darting from species to species like a magical "animal colour facts" greatest hits. The obligatory 10-minute behind the scenes bits are quite unbalanced as always but it's easy to forgive when our beloved turtle pops up so frequently here. The world will be a far less colourful place without him.
