#JANE GOODALL CHIMPANZEE LANGUAGE MOVIE#

Comparing it to other IMAX documentaries I recently watched: it was better then 'Greatest places', which has more great (IMAX like) footage but has no storyline, but not as good as 'Dolphins'.

#JANE GOODALL CHIMPANZEE LANGUAGE MOVIE#

I recall that the movie only became melodramatic (bweh) once the other times it either remained with the facts or it was clearly an opinion of Jane which was portraited. I appreciated that the documentary refrained from having too many emotional taglines, which seems to be common in American documentaries. Despite the sad truth that only 150.000 chimpanzees remain in Africa today (against 1 to 2 million a century ago), the mood of the documentary remains positive and focuses on the human aspect (no pun intended). The emphasis of the documentary is clearly on Jane Goodall and the chimpanzees she studies: the documentary briefly tells what she discovered beside telling the story of her life. Thankfully, it was better then I expected, and not because the short arial shot of Africa, but due to the content of the story. Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees is about chimps, not impressive natural phenomena, so my expectations where moderate. In my opinion, the best IMAX movies are those which show spectacular nature because that would be most impressive on a large IMAX screen.

The reason to view it was due to the music of Johnny Clegg featuring in it. I've seen this documentary first at an IMAX theatre and later on DVD.
