VHS Movie Reviews of National Geographic's Among the Wild Chimpanzees [VHS]
Movie Review: Extraordinarily gripping
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not your typical wildlife movie with chilling action scenes of predators chasing down and killing prey.
Rather, it is a meticulously laid out and nicely shot film about the extraordinary pioneering work done by Jane Goodall and her life among the wild chimpanzees of Africa. You get to see different chimps up close and to almost 'live' with them through the eyes of the camera and the narrator. The film spans enough years of the chimps' lives to see how their behavior changes as they mature and get older, and as the environment around them changes.
Through it all, you get to see Jane Goodall's compassionate, yet scientifically detached, interaction with these animals. At the end of the movie, you are totally in awe of her and what she has achieved in her life.
All in all, a film totally worth buying and watching.
Movie Review: The One and Only
Summary: 5 Stars
With the possible exception of "The Sharks", this is the most famous of all the National Geographic nature documentaries.Jane Goodall has spent most of her life studying the chimpanzees, and here she shares what she has learned over the years about the behavior of a particular group of the primates. Touching, heartbreaking and frightening at times, the video's greatest moment may be when we see the chimps getting a meal of termites with...a tool. By the end, you'll feel as if you know many of the chimps. Quite an experience.
Summary of National Geographic's Among the Wild Chimpanzees [VHS]
In 1960 Jane Goodall set out for Tanzania's remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the behavior of man's closest living relative, the chimpanzee. With dedication and perseverance she earned the trust of a wild chimp community, and gradually they revealed their individual personalities and the rich tapestry of their daily life. This film looks at two landmark decades of Jane Goodall's work, including her dramatic discovery of chimpanzees making and using tools.Jane Goodall is legendary among primate researchers, and for good reason--she learned more on her own studying chimpanzees than all who went before her combined. National Geographic's Among the Wild Chimpanzees looks at her life's work from 1960, when she first came to Tanzania's Gombe Reserve, to the early 1980s, showing her quiet determination to observe these animals closely while disturbing them as little as possible. Gaining their trust through months and years of noninterference, she gathered an unprecedented wealth of information on their rich social lives. We see playing, fighting, grooming, and even the once-controversial tool-use among the remarkably human-seeming chimpanzees. Goodall's grace and scientific curiosity really shine; she is a model for field biologists the world over. Among the Wild Chimpanzees is perfect for ape lovers, budding scientists, and anyone captivated by the lush African forests. --Rob Lightner
