Fossey is an example of courage and faithfulness to her work.

The movie was really touching. I'm sure no-one who has seen it can accept gorilla hunting.

Dian Fossey whom Sigourney Weaver played extremely well is an excellent example to all those studying and protecting wild animals. It's quite incredible that someone can befriend gorillas so that they hold her hand and climb sitting on her! Sigourney Weaver was very lucky to have the role of Dian.

Although most of the poachers were African I don't find the movie really racistic, and in fact there were no real villains in the story. However, it was truly horrible that the poachers took the heads and hands of the gorillas and imprisoned the baby female.

The end of the movie was shocking, but it was really honourable for Dian Fossey to give her life for the gorillas.
