      See no evil

      (2014)

      Year: 2014
      Format: HD
      Runtime: 1 hr 12 min (72 min)
       

      See No Evil portrays the daily life of three famous elderly apes who spend their days in retirement homes: a movie star, a scientist, and a crippled individual. We have watched and taught them for many years, as they have watched us. This is a sometimes bitter, poetic recapture of the intriguing relationship between chimpanzees and humans, as "remembered" by the protagonists.

       

      Chapters and characters:

       

      Cheeta - the most famous chimpanzee on earth

      Cheeta is supposedly the last moviestar alive from the Tarzan era. Cheeta's 80th birthday takes place in a sanctuary in Palm Springs. The day begins with breakfast on the patio. Cheeta eats with a spoon, drinks from a cup, and wipes his mouth with a handkerchief. A gallery owner comes to admire Cheeta's paintings, and friends from the movie industry gather for his birthday. Cheeta blows out the candles on the cake. In his easy chair on the edge of the swimming pool, Cheeta has time to think back on his film career. After the party, Cheeta plays some piano and watches a Tarzan movie.

       

      Kanzi - the smartest ape on the planet

      Kanzi is considered the smartest ape on the planet. He orders breakfast by means of a computer screen and brushes his teeth using an iPad. Kanzi's 30-year learning program on language acquisition was carefully documented on video. Kanzi is now old and a little gloomy. He tries in vain to pass his computer knowledge on to his 2-year-old son. At sunset, he grills some hotdogs on the barbecue.

       

      The Crippled - based on a story of human progress

      The Crippled lives on a small porch of a sanctuary. He moves with difficulty: his left side is partly paralyzed. Today, The Crippled goes out for a long stroll along the inhabitants of the sanctuary. During his walk, he reflects on how apes were used for human progress and remembers the space age.

       

      Epilogue: in memory of Roger

      'Reconstructed' footage of young Roger shows an experiment in which Roger refuses food as pay for a trick when he sees that his companion does not receive equal payment...
