4. Gorillas in the Mist
《雾中猩猩》
Sigourney Weaver stars in this true story as renowned naturalist Dian Fossey who dedicated her life to studying the rare mountain gorillas of the Congo jungle. Fossey gets up close and personal with the gorillas, often working within feet of them and even develops a way to communicate with the beasts. She takes up their cause with the Rwandan government, hoping to put an end to the horrendous poaching in the area, but is dismissed. Fossey then sets out on a personal crusade to take care of it herself -- even staging a fake execution of one of the poachers in an attempt to frighten away tribesmen that would continue the practice. On December 26, 1985, Fossey is mysteriously murdered in the bedroom of her cabin.
该片由真实事件改编。西格妮·韦弗出演著名的自然学家黛安·福西。她将毕生精力投入了刚果丛林稀有的高山猩猩的研究中。福西与猩猩近距离接触,全身心投入,工作时与它们仅几步之遥,甚至能用某种方式和它们进行沟通。福西向卢旺达政府谏言,呼吁当局出台规定,终止猖獗的偷猎,却无人理会。福西不得不凭一己之力对抗偷猎者——甚至模拟了一番行刑,以杀鸡儆猴。然而,1985年12月26日,福西在小屋床上遭神秘人杀害。
Banana Bonus: Wasn't that awesome when Ripley took out that poacher with the grappling-gun and blasted him into space!? Oh, wait. We're confused.
看点:看着大荧幕上的里普利手持矛枪,毫不留情地将偷猎者统统射入太空中,是不是想大呼过瘾!?等等,好像是《异形》乱入了……(译者注:里普利是西格妮·韦弗在《异形》中的角色)
