Gorillas in the Mist

Wow, I must say this movie saddened, angered, and scared me.

First off it was sad to see how low humans will go for some quick cash. Killing off gorillas in that fashion just to make money, disgusting. Who wants to buy a gorrila skull and hands anyway? I mean I joke about crap like this, but I'm never serious, and it really repluses me when I see it.

It angered me for the same reason it saddened me. Humanity is a very odd thing. We care, but only so much. If we can benefit, then we'll stop caring just enough, or find a way to justify almost anything. How they did those things, while laughing. Bastards.

It scared me, because, well... Sigourney Weaver is a really good "crazy person actor". When she sees her favorite gorilla without a head nor hands she goes pretty much insane. Cussing out her fellow researchers/workers. Blamming the death on a student, firing two students for having sex, which did herself. Then finally burning down the poacher's little villa area. I know why she did, and I would probably do the same, but a character said something I do agree with. "This isn't your own private kingdom." She did really believe the gorillas were her's, and that the whole mountain belonged to her.

It's odd how Dian's death is really a mystery still. You'd have thought that somebody would have found out about it by now. I guess somethings just don't make any sense. Well, thanks Mr. Galvas. He said that I should watch this and "The God's Must Be Crazy" I loved both. This was done really well, I always like movies that focus around someone's life, especially if they died a mysterious death or something.
