I hope someday a filmmaker or researcher will actually follow a penguin going to where it's "not supposed to be" and see what happens to it instead of just making up a story in their head and playing sad music over footage of it leaving.
one of my favorite movie moments in the past decade or so for sure. at first i thought like "WTF insane penguins? what the hell kind of question is that supposed to be?!"
Insanity is just when someone or something thinks/behaves in a fashion so far removed from the norm that it is hard to believe that the standard processes could have led to it without some form of bizarre intervention. This is a natural part of variation and diversity. When it works out, we call them "eccentric" or "visionary", depending on how successful they are. When it is less successful, or actively harmful, we call them coo coo in the coconut.
This penguin expert seems to be one of the most intresting people in this film. He seems to be a good man. It is a pity that he did not say more things about penguins and about himslef. But he is free not to say anything.
this particular film has to be one of the most interesting presentations of people who live in the outer edges of the earth. this segment was yet another example of the desperate need for isolation - but it was on penguins and not man.........
i still think of segments of this film all the time. it was an experience i will never forget and the images were fascinating.
This is stupid. You cant assume what that penguin is doing or where he is going or that he is going to die going in that direction. He can do whatever he wants to.
@hairyarmedgorilla Without food, it's most likely going to die, wouldn't you say? It's also pretty slow on land, making it a pretty big target for any predator that happens upon it. They're making a well informed guess as to its fate.
(Penguin expert (one of the world's best) explained this in a mail to me)
'All animals get disorientated from time to time. However, despite what the narrator said, there is no reason why the penguin should keep on walking in the wrong direction. It may easily have turned round and come back 5 miles down the road. It's not as if the interior of Antarctica is littered with penguin corpses. Many birds explore new sites to nest for next year. I'd call it media hype."
That Penguin is loving the sensation of being alive. What a feeling he must have as he fizzes through the snow. Maybe he will end up starved and weakened. Dropping dead, alone and exhausted. That's if he's lucky. Maybe a Fox or Eagle will tear him to pieces. He got the sensation though. That Penguin is a total legend.
Well, obviously the disembodied ghosts of forlorn explorers are possessing the penguins in their unending search for the pole. The poor souls, forever trapped in the drifts and eddies of death's cold whispers, their nightmarish torments feeding some astral abomination that rests hidden from sanity in the caverns beneath the snows, quietly snaring whatever tarries at the edge reason. Those men are wise not to follow the penguin.
Incredible...that penguin is headed towards the mountains where there he will find the stairway to heaven. That's no penguin, That's a disciple of god...
I thought this was gunna be funny at first.. like when he said "I've never seen a penguin bash his head against a rock" then a penguin would run up and smack into the rock right next to him. Turned out to be a much nicer story.. of a penguin who dared to be different. Naturally the silly scientists could not comprehend such a behavior.. but that penguin is going places.
@rekadi You're wrong. The penguins will never evolve that way. If one penguin heads towards the mountains to die it will have a smaller chance of reproducing, and therefore the gene that makes the penguins go to the mountains won't survive in the long run
"Fortune," said the little penguin, "Look there, friend, where thirty or more monstrous giants rise up, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and it is God's good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth."
"Giants?... Those are mountains."
"It is easy to see that you are not used to this business of adventures. Those are giants, and if you are afraid, away with you out of here and betake yourself to prayer, while I engage them in fierce and unequal combat."
I wonder if the penguin knows it's sick, dying, etc. somehow and is driven to leave the group so as to not tax the resources for the rest of them. It's maybe an instinct to get away from the feeding grounds so that those who are healthy can benefit.
@bluechao most sensible explanation I've seen yet. Though yeah its more inspiring to think that the penguin is somehow evolving or trying to evolve and thats why it leaves.
@JenkemKookyKaffir That is not how evolution works. Evolution is not a sudden metamorphosis like a butterfly; it is a gradual change over generations of life. It is the product of death, the product of survival traits being propagated through reproduction over time. A dinosaur does not wake up one morning a bird or anything so ridiculous.
@JenkemKookyKaffir That is not how evolution works. Evolution is not a sudden metamorphosis like a butterfly; it is a gradual change over generations of life. It is the product of death, the product of survival traits being propagated through reproduction over time. A dinosaur does not wake up one morning a bird or anything so ridiculous.
@ZorakGoesOn No it IS how evolution works: "Evolution is a process in which life is shaped by the environment it lives in. All living things have genes, which act as their blueprints. Over time, genes spontaneously mutate, causing changes in individual organisms. If those changes allow the organism to bear more offspring than others of its species and the mutations happen in genes which are passed on, then more and more organisms will start to bear those genes over time"
@ZorakGoesOn so the penguin spontaneously started wandering away from its group which means it may be evolving but since what its doing isn't likely to aid in the creation of offspring as well its own survival this trait will not be passed on so while its not evolving its a possible attempt to evolve. Most likely why it wanders away is like another poster said. Perhaps it is dying and doesn't want to tax the resources of the group thereby limiting their chances of reproduction and survival.
@JenkemKookyKaffir No, that is not how evolution levels. No animals "attempt" to evolve. Evolution isn't a sudden metamorphosis period. You know how your children (god forbid) have the same traits as you and your mate? That's how genetic inheritance works. Say a single gene changes between generations, some individual trait of a penguin that no matter how miniscule results in slightly higher survival; further generations pass it on as it helps more survive until they reproduce. THAT'S evolution.
@JenkemKookyKaffir Furthermore, seeing altruism in that regard when the penguin is a swarming organism that is totally self-sufficient within the swarm is daft. A penguin feeds itself, it does not "tax" the group by being malformed or sick or dying. The collective group exists for safety and easy access to mates, not like its a community analogous to human civilization. Anthropocentric thought is a fallacy of the utmost degree, and you would do well to no invoke it.
Notice at 1:32 the penguin pauses and stares to his right for a few seconds. At that moment, he is considering... considering... is this the journey he wants to take... will he follow his path toward spiritual enlightenment. It is at this moment that he knows he must continue if he will ever find harmony in life. RIP little guy, the force is strong in you
The penguin knows he's the chosen one. He's been given a mission by god, that's why he's going to the mountains. He's going on a journey. He was told by god to find the Angel Gabriel who is in the mountains and ask him what his next step is. It's one big journey that will eventually lead to the penguin saving the world by defeating the anti-christ. This penguin could in fact be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself. Notice how his wings are spread out like a cross. He's the chosen one!
no, he is seeing with a clarity that no other penguin has ever seen, imagined a place that no other penguin dared to ever before imagine, dared to dream of a place that no penguin before has ever dared to dream.
This one by smitehz: "no, he is seeing with a clarity that no other penguin has ever seen, imagined a place that no other penguin dared to ever before imagine, dared to dream of a place that no penguin before has ever dared to dream. go forth penguin, and god speed"
It's obvious: That penguin got some good weed and he's got the munchies. Would you eat raw fish if you had the munchies? I wouldn't. That penguin is SET on finding a 7-11 for chips, cookies, soda, chocolate milk, those hotdogs filled with cheese and maybe even a pizza with all the toppings (no anchovies, he's sick of fish). He might even be looking for White Castle.
Hmmm...just employ an animal psychiatrist, feed them some Prozac and put them into compulsory training/employment programs (work makes free!) like we do to depressed and deranged humans & all will be right with these bad, crazy penguins. LOL.
Your point is far deeper than the rest of these. I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There's something about this video that grabs my heart and makes me wax existential. Depression and derangement aren't logical, but what's so great about logic?
Thanks :) You're obviously intelligent enough to read the sarcasm in my comment whose intention was to state that instead of appreciating sadness and despair as precious emotions that inspire great works of art, we just prefer to banish them to the abyss, medicating & normalizing ourselves. And when penguins seem to reflect something similar we are nothing but totally confounded :)
aww, poor penguins. they look so adorable when they waddlle. they should just build a special penguin enclosure and put all the deranged penguins in it to keep them safe.
This video inspired me to write an illustrated short story from the first person of the deranged penguin, you can find it in my videos title Deranged: By Aaron Hicks
Sometimes I get sick of following people so I like to just leave and go exploring new places away from everybody.
I bet he was just exploring and knew where he was. The narrators were probably just saying he was far away from everything and was going to die because they wanted the story to sound more dramatic.
Wild animals, especially in barren wilderness like that, do not randomly go exploring, endanger their safety and waste their precious energy to look at some mountains, unless there was some kind of reproductive or food gain to be had. That penguin needs fish for food, he can't go far from the sea and he's not built for unnecessary land travel. Animals are very conservative with their habits and if they behave like that they are crazy in animal terms. That is definitely a deranged penguin.
I hope someday a filmmaker or researcher will actually follow a penguin going to where it's "not supposed to be" and see what happens to it instead of just making up a story in their head and playing sad music over footage of it leaving.

Hmmm...just employ an animal psychiatrist, feed them some Prozac and put them into compulsory training/employment programs (work makes free!) like we do to depressed and deranged humans & all will be right with these bad, crazy penguins. LOL.

Your point is far deeper than the rest of these. I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There's something about this video that grabs my heart and makes me wax existential. Depression and derangement aren't logical, but what's so great about logic?

Thanks :) You're obviously intelligent enough to read the sarcasm in my comment whose intention was to state that instead of appreciating sadness and despair as precious emotions that inspire great works of art, we just prefer to banish them to the abyss, medicating & normalizing ourselves. And when penguins seem to reflect something similar we are nothing but totally confounded :)

This video inspired me to write an illustrated short story from the first person of the deranged penguin, you can find it in my videos title Deranged: By Aaron Hicks

Sometimes I get sick of following people so I like to just leave and go exploring new places away from everybody.
I bet he was just exploring and knew where he was. The narrators were probably just saying he was far away from everything and was going to die because they wanted the story to sound more dramatic.

Wild animals, especially in barren wilderness like that, do not randomly go exploring, endanger their safety and waste their precious energy to look at some mountains, unless there was some kind of reproductive or food gain to be had. That penguin needs fish for food, he can't go far from the sea and he's not built for unnecessary land travel. Animals are very conservative with their habits and if they behave like that they are crazy in animal terms. That is definitely a deranged penguin.
