Cultural introspective
By Marc A. Newman (Seattle, WA)  |  September 2, 2008  | 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Bird's Next is exactly what you think it is. Except, the film is not really about the construction as much as it's about the process of getting the building built (e.g. culture differences between the architects and the locals). There are also a few side stories which go nowhere.

Biggest problem with the movie is that it's very tough to read the subtitles sometimes. 1/2 the documentary has English subtitles which are in white and have no dark border. Every time the lower part of the screen is light (white) the subtitles are impossible to read.

Anyway, it's fine. Again, it's what you think it will be.
