The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill

Reviewed by: Jerry, 16

Your Rating: Really liked it
Very interesting and loving documentary. It focuses on a homeless guy and his relationship with the wild parrots.
Many people may have thought of documentary as boring 2 hours long of boredom. That is not true; at least not this documentary. I was engaged throughout the entire film.
This movie is about a men who came to San Francisco in order to pursue his dream as a musician. Unable to do so, he ran out of money and became homeless. Despite his circumstances, he still devoted his time to take care of the wild parrots. Eventually, he creates a special bond with the parrots, one that reflects equal love between family members.
The theme of this film circulates around the strong bond human could have with animals. Though I gave a synopsis of the film, I didn't go in depth in the various aspects of that theme the film expressed. This is not only engaging, but also educational.
I would recommend this to: Thinker
