He makes excuses for his own shortcomings and inaction

Directed by Peter Cattaneo, this gripping drama, starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, tells the story of an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history. “I used to be young and idealistic,” says Tom, a new teacher at a boarding school in 1976 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, “but I soon realized that reality was different.” Blunt, hedonistic, and unsentimental, Tom is unmoved by any tales of woe or fact.

Discovery, humor, drama, and the penguins’ endearing antics

Despite the fact that penguins, coated in industrial oil, wash up on the beach and fascists seize power in a coup, he, Steve Coogan, and Jonathan Pryce star in this true story of wit, warmth, and counterintuitiveness. The dialogue, characters, story arc, and acting are truly profound.

The Penguins of Madagascar was filmed in Spain with an Argentine cast

Many of the actors have lived through the recent dictatorship in Argentina, and they lend authenticity to the story. During the film’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, I was deeply moved by the realization that just one person, or penguin, could make a significant impact in a world so filled with evil and tragedy.

You are many, they are few

In the face of such evil and tragedy, slumber in an invincible number. Shake your chains to the ground like dew that falls on you in your sleep. – Shelley.
