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 art, where various elements are added and subtracted, split and reorganized. The documentary itself is the director's narration of Nim's life, and there are also narrations of different people Nim met in the process of growing up. They sometimes contradict each other, and sometimes they agree with each other. Of course, Nim, as a highly self-aware orangutan, also has joys and sorrows. emotional stance. People plan the life of an animal that should grow up with its mother at will, from their own standpoints, judging from different perspectives, using them for different purposes, giving emotionally, the paradox between experimentation and human nature, and caring for nothing. .. The product of various concepts in the human world, like the shackles of inexhaustible cuts and chaotic shackles, wrapping up the originally natural, real, powerful and brutish life. Nim's tragic situation is the epitome of concentration. However, the strong position of human beings, and the concepts extended from the position, won't they bind themselves? Among them, a professor from the Primate Experiment Center of New York University is also responsible for the research on vaccines with orangutans. Due to legal constraints, he has to use animals as drug test subjects, but he himself is very opposed to this move. , which he said was inhumane. The position also bound his point of view, but it had to be in the position to limit other lives.
The world is the self-talk of all parties, and the truth is a personal concept woven by bondage. We use individual ideas and collective interests to limit and imprison each other. Like a silkworm chrysalis. There should be no so-called facts, only the truth they believe.
