A documentary about "people"

     I remember a scholar once said that the foundation of Western ethics is the Golden Rule of heart-to-heart (in China, it is the so-called "do not do to others what you do not want to do to others"), so any documentary about animals, in To a certain extent, it is a documentary about people: they tell us how different animals are from humans at the overall level, and tell the stories of all kinds of people and animals in the film at the individual level, but obviously more important Yes,...

Project Nim: An injury from start to finish

The purpose of the Nim project is very clear, to raise orangutans like humans from childhood to see if they can master language like humans. After watching the film, I have a huge question, that is, was Nim really cultivated as a "human being" from beginning to end?
All I saw was a ridiculous farce, a naked revelation of human nature, and bloody injuries again and again.
First, Nim was deprived of the opportunity to be raised by his biological mother and brought to Stephanie, the...

Bondage woven into facts?

      Even documentaries are still unable to get rid of subjective descriptions, historical video materials, interviews, and the cut and collage of these are enough to show personal opinions. What we see is not a fact, but a narrative with a personal label, what we think we need to know, what we are willing to believe, overlapping and redundant positions, and sometimes even just emotional obscenity.
   How the microscopic world presented by the documentary is like Picasso's abstract...

Nim, who is excluded from human beings, how can he forgive him?

Five stars for Nim. At the end, he insisted on sublimating and said that Nim forgives human beings and wants to deduct one star. Later, I thought that this is the self-report of the researcher and does not represent the position of the film. Yes, where is the position of this film? Nim can't speak, most of the time is the memory of the participants, and Nim's growth has not been recorded too much. As mentioned in a short comment, the research framework is loose and disorderly, and the...

Can chimpanzees really master human language? Or is it a conditioned reflex formed by external stimuli? In the second half of Nim's tragedy, he forgot the results of his childhood training, indicating that the so-called smartness is just a conditioned reflex. The failure of the Nim plan left nothing for Nim, and it also made the chimpanzee a living body of various scientific experiments and a guinea pig. In the end it wasn't Nim who forgave the humans, it was just a stupid orangutan....

I feel that this documentary is still dominated by people. Different people came to Nim, exclaimed "what a smart orangutan", and left for various reasons, saying that I had no choice but to love Nim. Nim isn't really smart, it's more of a circumstance, it's just an experimental subject. Therefore, it will take a long time before the earth rises in a Caesar-like...
