Documentaries with nature as the theme always give people an illusion: either it faces human sins like "Dolphin Bay"; or it uses exquisite photography and magnificent photography like "Migrating Birds" and "White Planet". The scenery warns humans. In comparison, "Chimpanzee" is too narrow in terms of the format of the story or its intention, but this does not affect our pleasure when watching the movie.
"Chimpanzee" is different from other documentaries. The creators shuttle in the forest and edit the footage into a movie with a very clear story line. Many times it is like a real cartoon, and the focus is more on those The daily life of chimpanzees, their foraging, sleeping, grooming, and ethnic disputes, this close-to-life narrative method reduces the educational significance of the documentary, but from another level, people love these creatures from the heart. send. The idea of "Chimpanzee" is not as strong as that of "Ocean". The Disney mark of the film is very prominent based on the family level. The static long lens observes the actions of the orangutans, which looks so long. But it also deepens the understanding of human beings about their "close relatives."
"Chimpanzee" is not as good-looking as "Ocean". It is a fact that it lacks exquisite photography and shocking lenses. Even those empty shots that are overlooked in the sky are only for transition. But this does not detract from its splendor. The brilliance of the film lies in the narration. It originally had the skeleton of the "Animal World" version. After being packaged by the humorous commentary, the film instantly added a lot of vitality, and its educational significance is by no means like a textbook. Deadly silent and dull, the anthropomorphic narration in the non-magnetic but emotional voice of comedian Tim Allen injects a popping candy-like feeling into the ever-serious documentary, without exaggeration or noise. , It has a finishing touch.
After all, "Chimpanzee" still upholds the usual Disney style. Family as the core theme of the film, although beastly, but also warm. After losing his mother, Oscar lived alone in the big family. Fortunately, another orangutan took care of him to save his life... Chimpanzees and humans have similar genes, and this intelligent animal is actually no better than humans. At a lower level, the director focused on embodying two unrelated "beasts" living on each other in the jungle, adding a touch of humanity to the animal nature, but due to the academic definition of humans, the audience's curiosity suddenly became exuberant. Get up, maybe many people will exclaim when watching the movie-wow, chimpanzees are so loving! In fact, this is the sad side of human beings. We look at the most primitive side of this group of animals with God-like eyes, but forget that we are slowly being swallowed by thoughts, because we are humans, we may not have the courage to go. Caring and cherishing a person who has no blood relationship with him. Perhaps chimpanzees are not more humane than humans, but humans are definitely more animalistic than chimpanzees.
