Too much of everything

This is How Movies Should Be Made

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Learning to See is a film that I recommend every person to see if they want to experience the rapturous beauty of the most tiny of rain forest creatures. Learning to See will reveal to you how precious and interconnected all life is on earth. This magnificently photographed film is an inspiring personal transformation story that invites each of us to learn to see the Beauty in All that Is...no matter what it is. I saw it twice and will enjoy seeing it many more times.

A wonderful journey of a man who wanted to change his life to then find himself on a beautiful journey of discovery for both Robert as well as all of mankind as he discovers the wonderful world of insects as well as himself. As we follow Robert and his son and filmmaker Jake Oleman... we discover as much about themselves as they do the little known world of insects. Amazing cinematography/photography and story telling...

'Learning to See' gives so many more reasons to love and preserve rain forests worldwide, as if we needed another. Visually stunning, emotionally compelling, and continuously thought-provoking, the film will surprise even avid followers of rain forest fauna. Hopefully, this will be one piece from which a critical mass of earthlings will be learning to see.

This documentary centers on one man's exploration of a new way of life and the development of new talents related to natural history and photography. Starting a new life in Colombia and learning to see the magnificent insects that populate the Neotropical rain forests, Oelman developed exceptional abilities as an insect photographer enabling him to share these wonders of nature with others, with the hope of providing an impetus for saving the natural habitats that are home to these creatures before they are destroyed. The film highlights Mr. Oelman's personal journey in finding a new way of life and a new career. The film is filled with exquisite and intriguing photographs of tropical insects.
