Movie Reviews of NOVA - The Miracle of Life
Movie Review: Sex ed
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD is basically the sex ed you got in public school. I was disappointed when I wasted time watching and the last ten minutes covered babies.
Summary of NOVA - The Miracle of Life
Still startlingly beautiful after several years, Nova's The Miracle of Life records human conception for the first time on film, and much more. Living, functioning reproductive systems are laid bare to the camera, and there is so much to explore and absorb that Nova's expert guidance is much needed and appreciated. The viewer follows an egg from its follicular development in an ovary, through the delicate, flowery fallopian tube for fertilization, and on to the uterus for development and eventual birth. Likewise, we follow the shorter journey of millions of sperm as they develop and strive mightily to reach the egg. (There isn't a man alive who can watch intraurethral footage without squirming--see for yourself!) Photographer Lennart Nilsson has shown us something profoundly beautiful and yet has left its fundamental mystery intact. The Miracle of Life is a rarity: a documentary that is also art. --Rob LightnerEach minute all over the world a baby is born. An everyday occurrence yet each birth is the culmination of one of nature's most complex mysterious and seemingly miraculous processes. A dramatic breakthrough in science and cinematography The Miracle of Life takes you on an incredible voyage through the human body as a new life begins. World-renowned Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson presents a spectacular look at a microscopic world of beautiful colors and forms deep inside ourselves. See the egg as it is released by the ovary and follow the sperm from its early development through ejaculation and then on its perilous journey toward the egg. With magnification of up to half a million times the actual size you can see exactly what happens at the moment of conception. After the sperm fertilizes the egg the camera follows the development of the single new cell into an embryo then fetus until finally a baby is born. Never before has this extraordinary process been filmed!System Requirements:Running Time: 60 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: NR UPC: 783421287396 Manufacturer No: WG799
