	'Gorillas in the Mist'
		The role she plays in "Gorillas in the Mist" is that of the world-famous primatologist Dian Fossey, who gave up her work as a physical therapist and for 13 years -- before she was murdered in her sleep in 1985 -- devoted herself to the study of the mountain gorillas of Rwanda.
		The chief problem with "Gorillas in the Mist" is that it banalizes its heroine; it turns her into one of us.
		"Gorillas in the Mist" isn't a terrible film, but it is a frustrating one, and you can't help but feel betrayed by how the filmmakers have served their subject.

	DVD Review - Gorillas In The Mist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		While the character of Ellen Ripley in the "Alien" movies were certainly Sigourney Weaver’s most famous and successful roles, her portrayal of sociologist Dian Fossey in "Gorillas In The Mist" was clearly the most remarkable and respectable one in her entire career.
		Weaver was in fact sitting right next to the silverback gorilla when he came running at her through the thick bushes of the forest.
		Although "Gorillas In The Mist" contains a very good music score, which is very sparingly used throughout the movie, the film is living on the engrossing ambient sounds it captures from the wildlife.

	Clearing up mysteries about gorillas in the mist
		Gorillas are not incestuous, so if a daughter gorilla is to mate and procreate, she must transfer to another group or a lone silverback would have to join hers, Steklis explains.
		For instance, gorillas from the western lowlands have diets high in fruits, which don't grow in the high altitudes that are home to mountain gorillas.
		But you won't see a mountain gorilla in a zoo, and it's not just because researchers want to observe them in their natural surroundings or because they are protected by law.

	Review of Gorillas in the Mist
		Gorillas in the Mist is a successfull movie based on a true story.
		All negative stories that have been told about gorillas turn out to be false, and this movie helped a lot to put the gorillas in a more favourable light.
		Recently I read the book Gorillas in the Mist, written by Dian Fossey herself, in which you not only learn a lot about the behaviour and lifestyle of the Mountain Gorillas, but also about the author.

		`Gorillas in the Mist" tells us what Dian Fossey accomplished and what happened to her, but it doesn't tell us who she was, and at the end that's what we want to know.
		Fossey was a woman of average achievement and no particular scientific background, but she loved animals and she was deeply disturbed by reports that the mountain gorillas of central Africa were being threatened with extinction.
		I left "Gorillas in the Mist" feeling cheated, somehow, as if the story had no more insight into Fossey than she apparently had into herself.

		Participants recorded data on all gorilla nests and other signs, which were then used to establish the current estimate of 380 gorillas.

		A Kentucky girl, Fossey (Sigourney Weaver) is inspired by famed anthropologist Louis Leakey (Ian Cuthbertson) to devote her life to the study of primates.
		She is so devoted to "her" mountain that she loses the opportunity for a romance with a National Geographic photographer (Bryan Brown).
		Appalled by the poaching of the gorillas for their skins, Fossey complains to the Ugandan government, which dismisses her by explaining that poaching is the only means by which some of the Ugandan natives can themselves survive.

		'Gorillas in the Mist' is a fantastic representation of what it is like to truly belong within a niche.
		Fossey begins anew in her field research, despite her academic qualification....searching out the gorillas hiding in the mountains.
		As the film industry would have it, a romantic link was established between the two characters, but this served only to prove Fossey's steadfast belief in her noble cause, when she chose to stay with and protect her beloved gorillas, instead of running away with the man she had grown to trust and love.
