	Human nature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human nature is the fundamental nature and substance of humans, as well as the range of human behavior that is believed to be invariant over long periods of time and across very different cultural contexts.
		According to Hobbes, humans in the state of nature are inherently in a "war of all against all," and life in that state is ultimately "nasty, brutish, and short." To Hobbes, this state of nature is remedied by good government.
		Karl Marx inherits that Hegelian dialectic, and with it, a disdain for the notion of an underlying invariant human nature.

	HUMAN NATURE FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Naturalism, combined with the natural and social sciences, views humans as the unplanned product of evolution, which operated in part by natural_selection on random mutations.
		State_of_nature refers to philosophical assertions regarding the condition of humans before social factors are imposed, thus attempting to describe the "natural essence" of human nature.
		They conceived of human nature in terms of bounded_rationality and of the pursuit of marginal_utility, and they believed that the pursuit of this utility in the marketplace would create a condition of spontaneous_order that will be more rational than any alternative that might be planned, given the bounded rationality of any possible planners.

	Human Nature (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human Nature is a 2001 comedy film, written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry.

		It is loosely based on the Björk video clip Human Behaviour which Michel Gondry directed in 1993.

		Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		The philosophical dark comedy Human Nature centers on three characters--an obsessive scientist, a female naturalist and the man they discover born and raised as an ape in the wild--and how they live in a world where both nature and society are idealized.
		Human Nature was actually made a year ago by the French studio Canal + but the U.S. distributor waited until now to release it.

	Human Nature review
		As understood, the film is constructed around two antagonisms: that of the nature and civilization found in Puff and the human nature and appearance that affects Lila.
		While the film has without any doubt the touch of madness that seems to characterize Charlie Kaufman's work, it is neither as cerebral nor as original as Being John Malkovich.
		Human Nature is perhaps not a total success but it deserves to be seen for its daring in such a soft cinematic landscape.

	Being Charlie Kaufman - Articles, Interviews, Reviews \| Human Nature
		As the film about to be discussed was written by Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich"), it won't be easy to describe.
		Being a sensitive girl, she turns to the non-judgment of the nature, moves into the forest, and supports herself by writing goofy, spiritual novels.
		"Human Nature" is really only about one such desire, the need to get laid, and the lengths different characters will go to get laid.

	MMI Movie Review: Human Nature
		The good news is that "Human Nature" proves Kaufman is no fluke, nor has success gone to his still very peculiar head.
		The surprise twist at the end presumes the film was building to an ironic crescendo, but if the notion that we're still slaves to our sexual urges doesn't strike you as particularly fresh or provocative, you won't leave the theater nodding thoughtfully.
		"Human Nature" doesn't sustain the giddy ride of "Being John Malkovich," and unfortunately that's enough to label it a disappointment.

	Nothing Against the Masses, An Interview with Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, by Sean Nelson (04/11/02)
		Human Nature and Being John Malkovich both deal with classical archetypes: morality vs. desire, artist vs. compromise, man vs. nature kind of stuff.
		But at the same time there are human issues that I'm interested in--issues of isolation and feeling outside, and loneliness, and taking condemnation from a society and turning it on yourself; those are things I'm interested in on a smaller, more personal level.
		That image you picked out is one that Michel [Gondry, director of Human Nature] came up with, and maybe he came up with it based on what he saw in the script.

		Human Nature features Patricia Arquette as a woman whose life is a thorough tragedy--she goes from being a pariah to a prisoner--yet the film is intended to be whimsical, even fluffy.
		Human Nature's essential pedantry can be seen in the way it explains that Gabrielle isn't really French, she's just pretending to be--as if we didn't have ears to hear the amusing fakery, or the imagination to suppose that a girl might prefer to be a French siren to being a plain American mouse.

		For those of us who attempt to live as reg'lar joes, Human Nature is as much an homage to some great movies of the past as it is a comment on current society.
		Human nature being what it is, Lila strikes gold as a writer of nature (and survival) books.

		Experiments with color films began as early as 1906, and color was occasionally used in subsequent motion pictures as a novelty, but most of the processes that were developed, including early two-color Technicolor, were disappointing and failed to generate enthusiasm on the part of the public.

		I admit "Human Nature" may not draw a lot of critical or commercial attention; it is a shame, though, because it is a very clever film, and even if it is not totally coherent or logical, it at least gives us fresh and powerful talent upcoming in this industry.
		This film begins with the revelation that Nathan Bronfman (Tim Robbins) is dead, courtesy of a small round bullet hole in his forehead, and somewhere in the afterlife in a room where everything is white.
		Certainly "Human Nature" is the least of the films that I have mentioned here, but it is still indicative of the creative quirkiness that has made Kaufman's reputation.

		Toward the end of "Human Nature," Nathan Bronfman, the obsessive scientist played by Tim Robbins, tracks down Puff and Lila (Rhys Ifans and Patricia Arquette), a couple he knows who have escaped to the woods to live naked like wild animals.
		"Human Nature" is the funniest movie I've seen so far this year (which is saying almost nothing), but it has an air of pale, forced outrageousness about it that suggests it may be legitimate to question Kaufman's staying power.
		The problem with "Human Nature" is that it tries to be both and ends up somewhere in the lumpy in between.

		Man's natural instincts and society's determination to tame and suppress them roil the satirical undercurrents of "Human Nature." The film is a collaboration between French video and commercial director Michel Gondry and screenwriter/co-producer Charlie Kaufman, the Oscar-nominated writer of "Being John Malkovich."
		Certainly, Gondry should be congratulated for making a film most atypical of movies that commercial directors tend to make in their initial foray into features.
		This is a film of ideas and wry comic mayhem rather than one of technical virtuosity.

	Human Nature Review (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		But Human Nature didn't have the impact that the previous film or Kaufman's next scripted films had, perhaps because, on the surface, it is even stranger than them and, ultimately, cultivates and ambiguous attitude to the benefits of culture and sophistication.
		The film has a sentimental view of nature, showing it to be unpretentious and pure through, for example, Lila's musical number in the woods, or the duplicity of the civilised characters.
		One thing that is clear is that lying is an inescapable part of being human; we see this when Nathan begins an affair with his assistant Gabrielle (Miranda Otto), but keeps it secret from Lila when he finds out about her condition.

		If somebody makes an especially good first film, their second film will not be as good, whether because people were expecting too much or it just wasn't as good.
		Human Nature is the second film writer Charlie Kaufman, whose first was the wonderfully bizarre Being John Malkovich.
		Part of the reason for the detachment from the story is that none of the characters have anything concrete to latch onto.

		She's the core of this film and it should remind everyone that she is able to carry a film by herself and that she's a very underrated actress.

		The result being that Human Nature may be an acquired taste, but anyone who welcomes a dash of the avant-garde fused with their humor should take pleasure in this crazed, joyous romp of a film.
		Prior to finding success, the young woman learned to use the affliction as a source of strength and was able to get in touch with her true self while living in the wilderness for several years.
		Kaufman definitely operates in his own alternate world, but with Human Nature he again proves that his boundless comic universe is a place where we’re fortunate to be invited.

		The film started in a sortof stylish way but faded after that into some casual filming (camera angles and artistic direction) I think if the same scenario was done in Europe even by Gondry himself, we would have seen another Delicatessen style of films with a solid scenario and a great visual rendering.

		In Human Nature, his follow-up to Being John Malkovich, Kaufman joins forces with French music video director Michel Gondry to create something like a Technicolor musical version of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid--an indelicate cautionary tale about the dangers of straying too far from your roots.
