It is fair to say that the movie has a quite interesting concept. I, in the other hand, will admit I was not fond of it. The movie is too slow and has almost no dialogue, which is a big turn-off for me. Although I will confess, that the combination of sounds and images in some parts of the movie are amazing. My analysis is going to be focus on one of these specific combinations.
The combination I choose starts with the scene where the monkey picks up a bone from a pile of bones from a dead animal. Then he starts banging it and a triumphant music starts playing on the background. Then other images start to appear: the monkey hitting the bones, the black rectangle with the sun and the moon, the monkeys arm in the air, again the monkey hitting the bones, a mandrel falls, everything is repeated one more time and finally a monkey appears on a mountain eating a piece of meet. All these images cut and assembled for the only purpose of letting the viewer understand that the monkey is evolving, becoming more humanlike.
If we watch this segment of the movie, it is only fair to say that is amazing. The combination helps you understand the director’s idea without any guide; here the dialogue is not necessary. By cutting and repeating images, the editor and director stimulated us, the viewers, to understand everything it happened even off-screen.
