"Human Nature"
a review of Human Nature, by Mr. funny Shoes
So when one of my fellow Gamepope members decided to ditch Japan for the lvely Canadian education system he left me with a sack of dvds for me to return. Since they're not under my name and he has left the country, I didn't really see why that's necessary, so I decided to watch some of the movies he left. One of these movies was "Human Nature," a movie written by Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind "Being John Malkovitch"and "Adaptation." HN isn't as much of a mind fuck as the other films, but any man with ahairy woman fetish should really see this movie.
So basically there are three main characters: a woman with a defect that makes her very hairy all over, a scientist who believes that manners are lacking in current society and is training rats to use the correct fork, and another man whose grew up with his father believing himself to be an ape. Yes,yes...if you're not an idiot the gears in your head are probably starting to turn, and you may have an idea of what this movie is about.
We all know that I can't expect you to be smarter than an idiot though so I'll continue. So the hairy woman escapes to nature and becomes a nature writer becoming rich and very, very horny. She uses her money to get electrolisis and starts to date the scientist whose views on nature are quite contrary to her own. Then they find the ape man, and to prove her love to her scientist bofriend she let's him use the ape man as his new study. Teaching the ape-man how to be civilized.
This is where much of the humor of the movie comes in. We see the ape-man wearing a robe, smoking a pipe in a dignified manner, then dry humping pictures of women. Man, there needs to be more dry humping in movies it is possibly the best cinema technique of this generation.
So you get the gist. I won't tell you how the movie ends, but I suspect it doesn't really matter. Honestly, I really liked this movie not for all of the dry humping and nakid hairy women (specifically naked hairy patricia arquette), but simply because it didn't find it necessary to explain everything about it's characters. In a few scenes the scientist is at a shrink explaining his dreams which are obviously related to his current problems. When the shrink points this out the scientist disagrees, thinking the explanation too convenient. While there may be convenient reasons behind everyhting we do in life, I think we rarely think about them (even if we are conscious of them). I really have no idea what I just said, but maybe it sounded smart.
Oh yeah, the human woman from Lord of the Ring is in this movie, man she's pretty hot! I was quite surprised! She fakes a french accent in the film. We never really find out why, probably just to get the scientists attention, but I think that's why this movie is successful.
On a scale from poped to POPED! this movie gets a POped1.
