a a big fan of gorilla movie in general and i anticipate that this one would be great and a for the gorilla effect and they be quite good and however that be the only thing i can write about this flop . the film claim to be base on a true story but in effect and it do not even come close to what actually happen to buddy who in real life and be the famous gargantua and sell to ringling bros. by our suppose heroic gertrude lintz and know by many animal enthusiast a a woman who hardly have her animal welfare in the best interest . as far a buddy be portray a become aggressive and this be total fiction and at no time do the gorilla and in real life and resort to such behavior . buddy do and in fact and escape his wooden crate ( not a plush cage room a depict in movie ) during a storm and to seek shelter and comfort in the house and which frighten gertrude lintz into sell him . no and buddy be not release into a gorilla family surround by lush tree in a zoological paradise he be abandon in a wooden crate and deep in the back of a garage for some time with only a single light bulb for comfort and then sell to the circus where he actually live a good life have peanut throw at him until he die ( historically the old living gorilla on record and by the way ) before a show in miami . notice also and in the film and how buddy grows older but the chimpanzee never age . ( the chimp and by the way and be not raise simultaneously with other animal and include buddy and a portray in the film ) .
