Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988)
Gorillas In The Mist
Action is not always a good key to a movie. Caring and compassion is one thing that really gets my attention as a viewer. Gorillas in the Mist was a movie that showed one ladies determination to save a animal that she loved. The beloved mountain gorillas. She left her boyfriend, flew half way around that world and risked her life for these beautiful creatures. In the movie she gets kicked out off of one side of the mountain. and finds determination to go back to the mountains. Dian Fossey came across a big problem and tried to fix it. There was many gorillas getting killed by poachers. She got Anti poaching teams and tried to save many of them. She spent most of her life up there In the mountains studying there habits and there ways of life. While living up on the mountain she met a man who worked for the National Geographic magazine. Well after many years of fighting these poachers she was eventually killed just like some of her beloved gorillas that she studied her whole life. This movie has fun loving parts and tough get down to business parts. but it is a movie that i fairly enjoined.
Silkwood (1983)
Silkwood
SIlkwood was a movie that had to deal with the reality of situations that are still considered problems today. Karen Silkwood worked a a plutonium factory, when the Union was almost gotten rid of Karen and some other people got together to fight to keep the union. So someone is starting to expose Karen to the chemicals, and she was internally as well as externally exposed. There was a plot to killer so she didn't tell the union what the real health conditions were like. So she was suppose to go pick up a New York times reporter and she never made it to the airport. Her car was found in a ditch and they claimed it a one person accident. they still have not found who plotted to kill her or who really did kill her. It will be a mystery until some one wants to come forward and tell the truth about what really happened
Bitter Harvest (1981)
Bitter Harvest
Bitter Harvest is about a farmer that owns a dairy cow farm, and his cows are mysteriously getting sick. They go to the state agricultural people for help and all they say is that the baby calf is pretty much not being fed. But when all of the other cows start to get sick, they realize that something up and it turns out that there is PBB in the AF-10 that they are feeding there cows. It affects not only animals but humans as well.In the movie the main characters baby boy ends up being contaminated with the PBB and develops a really bad rash on him. The AF-10 leaves all of these weird defects on the cows and some died, some have gotten really weak. At the end of this movie they dig a massive hole in the ground and herd all of the cows into the hole. and one by one they kill each and every one of them. There was nothing that the humans could do to save them, and they were of no use so they had to shot and kill them all. So they buried them. At the very very end of the movie it said about 30,000 cows that were slaughtered of killed and buried in massive graves. Many farmers and farms were put out of business or shut down and never allowed to reopen it again. That is the basic outline of the movie from what i have seen.
