Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Armand the name of Diann Fossey is a symbol. for profound dedication to her work, for the hard war for study and protect the gorillas population. this film is a homage. and, more important, a honest exercise to reflect about a life pillars. the seed of its success - extraordinary performance of Sigourney Weaver. because she has science, courage and force to do not only a credible character but a delicate, precise web from shadow and light. the empathy and the tension, the dedication and the veil of madness, the compassion and the admiration, each of them is used for create not an explanation for a death but to feel the entire pressure of story levels. it is a superb portrait and if, at beginning, it seems be a role for Colleen Dewhurst ( for physical resemblance ) or for chameleon Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver demonstrates, scene by scene, not only an impressive artistic potential but a beautiful measure of detail and exploration of subtle nuance.

Pobbles Dellarico Honestly, when I found out that we were going to be watching Gorilla's in the Mist for an English activity, I was expecting something overly boring. Geez was I wrong. From the beginning scenes of Sigourney watching with deep interest as Dr. Leakey explains the importance to the heart-wrenching scenes of the attacks on the gorillas, this movie had me hooked. I felt Dian Fossey's pain and anger, and felt the loss when poor Digit got his head decapitated. But the end left me wanting more. When Dian Fossey is lying on her bed looking at photos of the departed members of her ape "family", reminiscing of the good times they had, she is murdered by an unknown figure. Since this is a true story, it actually happened. And the end leaves you with a question: WHO IN THE WORLD KILLED DIAN FOSSEY?!

Lee Eisenberg Even if you have no idea who Dian Fossey was, "Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey" is still amazing. Sigourney Weaver perfectly captures the spirit of the woman who sought to save Africa's mountain gorillas from extermination by human encroachment. It was eye-opening to see her go from an all-American babe (needing her bras in the jungle) to a politicized woman living with the gorillas.The end brings up a question: just who was it? Even if we never find out who specifically did it, it just goes to show that various factions wanted her out of the way.All in all, this is a great movie, one that I recommend to everyone. Once again, Michael Apted (of the "7 Up" series" and the never-released-on-video-or-DVD "Stardust") shows himself to be a great director. Also starring Bryan Brown.

angela_atton256 Every time I watch this film it makes me realise that we take things for granted. I think that Miss Weaver played this part very well and deserved every award that she got for this film. I always cry at the end because it makes me feel very annoyed that the other tribe killed the lady for studying the gorillas. I think that every body played an excellent part in this film. When the gorilla digit died i was very upset and annoyed at the directors of this film, i thought that they could not show this bit and that the film could be shown to a much lower audience. On the whole, I think that this is one of my all time favourite films.
