The focus of the film is to demonstrate the development of babies and their interaction with the world around them. In the film, there are four babies that come from different parts of the world.
Ponjao come from Africa, Mari, from Japan, and Bayarjargal is from
Mongolia. This film captures these babies from the time they are in their mother's stomach to the time they're learning to crawl, walk, play and figure stuff out
When first viewing the film I noticed there was a lack of communication from the narrator and the babies' parents. Hence,
This caused the focus to remain solely on the babies in the film. This effect also made me feel as if I wanted to interact with the babies and tend to their needs.
A second aspect I noticed from the film is the environment that the babys grow up in shapes how they interact with the world. In
Africa the kids are left to play with rocks, bottles, dogs. Then in
Mongolia the kids are left in the company of their older sibling unfortunately they tormented or they have pets interact with.
I also noticed that babies have struggles when their first trying to understand their environment. For example, when one of the babys was exposed to a music class featuring songs of praise she got up due to frustration. Then another baby showed frustration as she tried to thread a wooden spindle onto a disc. There was also another child that was playing with toys and became upset because it was hard for her to master the toy.
