Gorillas in the Mist

As a tribute to Dian Fossey 's heroism and ideology as environmentalist and anthropologist , the movie entitled Gorillas in the Mist ' by Michael Apted showed the life and passion of Dian Fossey towards the species that need help and concern from the society . The movie encompasses the dignity of a woman with her perspective as activist or defenders of the primates . Because of the fact that she enjoyed and loved the environment of the gorillas , she learned how to

adapt to their environment and showed her connection to the kingdom of animals Therefore , it only means that Dian Fossey symbolizes strength , freedom knowledge , learning , and belief that each and every one of us must obtain in to become extra sensitive to the needs of our animals

There are several parts of the movie that shows creativity , point of argument , point of attack , and special perspective of the main character - Dian Fossey .

She wanted to learn more from the gorillas trying to defy their extinction but she is alone - she has no greater power being alone so she stayed in the mountain and have the best time with the primates showing her gratitude and respect towards these mammals

After watching this movie , I realized that she made a change . She fought for the betterment of the animals , specifically the primates . Her death was immoral and brought tragic to the field of anthropology environment , and conservation but what she had shown before her death brought significance to the life and ecosystem of each and every one of us . Though she suffered , she imposed transformation towards the extinct and against the illogical perspective of the society to the animals

Many people cried after this woman died . However , she lived and will still live into the hearts of many especially the Uganda people because she tried her best to change what is needed to make the endangered...
