Highly Overrated But Still Good

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The story of a human who knew what planet she was on and found her place in it.Note to Philip Glass: Using more notes does not make it more interesting or less intrusive.

Someone found a box of unused film clips that Jane Goodall's husband, cinematographer Hugo van Lawick, had left in a box and decided to piece them together into another Jane Goodall documentary. You'll see why van Lawick left them in a box because they are posed shots of Jane looking through binoculars, climbing trees, washing her hair, looking through binoculars, walking through the jungle, looking through binoculars, playing with a chimp, looking through binoculars, and looking through binoculars. Only reason to watch this is an attempt to induce an aneurysm.

Jane is a 'assembled' movie that rightly shows her place in understanding the chimps in Africa and leading to new conclusions about their species.
However, there were far to many "Jane looking through binoculars" shots
and Jane washing her hair.
In a great faux science experiment, she brings in outside bananas to the chimps and they go well, bananas in coveting the goods and wrecking the support site. There are observational animal studies which means you do not interact with the animals and make them part of your 'western 'family' getting them to become dependent on you. Missing parts of the film > why did the chimp colonies fight each other to death. Was it the bananas? Jane simply gloss overs this terrible tragedy. Lot is really missing from a study of this type and inserting herself into the colony was not a good idea. Music by Glass was of course great.
And there are lots of other worth while studies providing necessary insight into animal colonies.

The movie 'Jane' is about a scientist named Jane Goodall. Her life's work is to raise awareness for chimpanzees. During her life, Jane married and had a child. The cool thing about this movie is that, they interview the real Jane Goodall (now 83 years old). This movie gives you a new perspective of chimpanzees and Jane Goodall overall.
