      interesting

      Surprised: The orangutan actually eats the monkey. Although the camera is not taken, it should be the monkey torn up and eaten directly after the capture. It may be related to humans, and it feels really bloody;

      Question: Do not eat the fruit residue together , Only sucking juice? Since there is a lack of food, it is so hard to find, and you have to compete with other chimpanzee groups. Wouldn't it be better to eat together with the scum?

      Interesting: The fruit is really...

      Sigh

      【Movie】This is a documentary about the little chimpanzee Oscar. Recently, I like to watch animal records. The big reason is that I am particularly envious of their living conditions of freedom and harmony with nature. Looking at chimpanzees, many of their behaviors and looks are very similar to human beings, and they marvel at their cleverness. Colleagues were also deeply moved by their innocence and kindness. Oscar became an orphan when he was less than 1 year old. He was helpless...

      "Chimpanzee": Little Caesar's Jungle Adventures

      A nut orchard triggered a war between the two ethnic groups. One rainy night, one side defended and the other attacked. After the two phases, although the orchard was guarded, the young chimpanzee Oscar lost his mother and began to beg for a living alone. Not being taken in by other families is a small matter. I don’t know how to find food. After being tortured by the law of the jungle, Oscar, who is getting thinner and thinner, is unexpectedly accepted by the leader Freddie. Seeing the...

      An Anthem of Life——Analysis of the Aesthetic Features of "Chimpanzee"


                                  
                                                      

       Abstract: Ecological documentary is an important branch of demeanor film. It is a film art form that uses nature as the creative material, takes the creatures in nature as the expression object, and takes ecological thinking as the leading cause of people's thinking. At the same time, film, as the seventh art, is a visual art, which touches emotions through the eyes!
      Whether it’s "Earth" or...

      Just a little thought, super word count...

      The lens focuses on two small groups of chimpanzees in the jungle, showing the daily life of chimpanzees in high definition. You can see many details of life from how chimpanzees forage, how to nurture the next generation, how to sleep, how to build relationships, how to fight, how to lift a rock to hit one's own feet (haha), to how different small groups fight, etc. I am surprised that the palms, soles, nails, skin and even parent-child interaction and habits of chimpanzees (such as sunset;...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film’s release time was not placed on April 22, 2012, Earth Day, according to Disney’s natural distribution of films, but on April 20, 2012.

    Naturally, Disney will donate a fund to the Disney Nature Conservation Fund...

    Background creation

    The whole film of "Chimpanzee" was shot in the jungles of Ivory Coast and Uganda in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. The main specific location for filming was Mount Tai Forest National Park. It took a total of three years to shoot. For this kind of ecological documentary, the three-year filming cycle is not too long. However, the two directors encountered many twists and turns and unexpected situations during the three years. The most...
