Negative Positive
Title: Unforgettable!
Review: Although I have the book on which this documentary was based, I think the film was much more powerful because of the way it combines pictures and video recorded back in the 70's with recent interviews of almost all the people who were involved.The story is heartbreaking, but it is also an important reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation of our closest relatives. Keep in mind that when project Nim was launched the human genome was decades in the future. We did not yet know that we share over 95% of our genes with chimps.The interviews are especially effective because they give you a candid look at the people involved in the projects. Some were naive; some were heroes in their own way, and one or two were just plain jerks. I like the way the interviews allow each viewer to make these judgements for themselves.
Is the review positive or negative?
