An engaging tale based on facts about Dian Fossey from her pioneering contact with mountain gorillas to her sad death , it is full of drama , fights , passion , emotion , romance and taking charge of it from start of finish , adding an inspiring and emotional ending .The movie is fundamentally Sigourney Weaver and his apes , they come out as both winners and winning . Weaver is utterly adequate as the increasingly obsessed Fossey , but the role moves away from us , just as we need to see and understand more about her . Regarding the entertaining story of Dian Fossey , a brave American woman who left everything she knew and entered a world few have ever seen , and defending her Gorillas at whatever cost , including coercion , threat and violence , at time . To save a wonderous creature from the cruelty of men, she went further than anyone dared. The intrepid woman studied , cared befriended and protected mountain gorillas in the wilds of Africa !. Some say she went too far. In a land of beauty , wonder and danger, she would follow a dream , fall in love and risk her life to save the mountain gorillas from extinction !. At the far ends of the earth she found a reason to live, and a cause to fight for !. They were beautiful !.
An interesting and amusing story of a valiant and dominant woman that doesn't have too many faults . The picture is pretty well , though relies heavily on a slight over-emphasis on Fossey's affair with a wildlife photographer , but they are far outweighed by its virtues . As Sigourney Weaver is magnificent as Dian Fossey , the obstinate activist who'll stop at nothing at defence his gorillas resulting in her death at the hands of poachers .You could imagine no more suitable actress to portray a stubborn woman who fiercely defends her gorillas from corrupt poachers , when property she regards as her own. Bryan Brown as her photographer lover is perfectly cast , along with Julie Harris , Iain Glenn , and Ian Cuthbertson as her initial mentor offer nice support cast .
The motion picture was slow but competently directed by recently deceased Michael Apted . He was good writer/ producer/director of several successes , such as : ¨The word is not enough¨, ¨Gorillas in the mist¨ , ¨Class action¨, ¨Nell¨, ¨Enigma¨, ¨The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader¨, among others . Rating : 7/10 , above average and worthwhile seeing , the whole family will enjoy this film . It's a very likable adventure and enormously appealing for kids, adolescents , young men and adults. Overall this is a really enjoyable movie . If you are familiar with the story, then there are no real surprises, but makes up for it with overwhelming special effects and make-up by the prestigious Rick Baker.
