The review of this Movie prepared by jane Williams




A remarkable film about an anthropologist's(Hopkins) special relationship with a group of gorillas. How he managed to find peace and embraced them in African wilds for 2 years until they were 'disturbed' by gorilla-poachers. He killed some of them to protect his friends but was seized and imprisoned in a U.S. mental institution. He refused to utter a word until his case was assigned to a patient psychologist(Gooding Jr.).
