Hello and welcome. Jason, what do you have? We go ape, to see it the | :00:00. | :00:40. | |
gorilla attack ticks have any effect in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
We look at one of the legends of show business who used to manage | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Alice Cooper. And we uncover one of the great art mysteries, how a super | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
nanny was one of the world's great street photographers. We have had | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
plenty of apes, here they are again? 1968, it started with Planet Of The | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
Apes with Charlton Heston. We have been recovering from it ever since. | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
This is a reboot, as sea called reboot. We had Rise Of The Planet Of | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
The Apes and this is a sequel to that so you with then they would | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
have got it right by now. And now the actor who played Gollum in Lord | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
of the rings, is the lead playing the chimp, Caesar. The world has | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
been wiped out and there are pockets of civilisation around. The apes | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
have taken over and they come to San Francisco to wrest control from the | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
humans. In this clip, one of the rebel apes is examining what happens | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
when guns get into the wrong hands. I am convinced | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
by the effects already. What is interesting is it is | :02:12. | :03:05. | |
about guns and it was Charlton Heston, a famous proponent | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
of the National Rifle Association. It is about nature versus nurtur , | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
a scientific element. It takes it further , | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
saying what is human in nature If you give an ape a gun, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
what will happen to it? There are two societies that you | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
root for, the simple ape society, but humans also go back to | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
a more simple way of life. I thought that this was | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
very cleverly don . I was going to ask you | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
about where sympathies lie, because one critic said that some | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
of the human characters were bland You do side with the apes, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
it is a natural thing to do. The humans are there through | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
their own folly, so you think that the apes have a chance to be built | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
that society again. And they are very good, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
they are learning languages again. They have got different names ` Ash, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Blue Eyes, Morris, But there is such heart | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
from the performances, It is about | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
the movie itself being very good. It is a Yiddish word | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
for an upstanding individual who behaves correctly , a jolly good | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
bloke , not a person that you usually find in show business or | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
the rock music side of it. It is amazing that Shep Gordon | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
has become a Supermensch . This is the directorial debut | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
of Mike Myers, the Austin Powers comedian, who I think was attracted | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
by the starry`eyed Shep Gordon. He is larger`than`life, | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
friends with everyone from Helen It does say The Legend of | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Shep Gordon . I do not know how much of it we | :05:10. | :05:21. | |
should see as true, because it is That is the doubt I had, because | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
if you are going to make stars big, Yes, I think he had some | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
heavy boots in the past. He peddled drugs to Janis Joplin | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
and Jimi Hendrix, that is how he Michael Douglas calls him a Jewish | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
man and a Buddhist man. He hangs around with the Dalai Lama | :05:43. | :05:54. | |
a lot. He is kind of too good to be true, | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
but if he wasn't, you would have to invent him | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
into this character, which I think I think that Shep Gordon is | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
an interesting presence I am not sure that it is | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
a skilful enough documentary to pull off this trick | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
of saying that some of what you are It is not quite smart enough | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
for that. I think that Mike Myers might become | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
better at making documentaries The last one this week is another | :06:19. | :06:32. | |
documentary. Yes, that is about image as well. | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
One of the greatest artistic discoveries was boxes of | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
photographic negatives. A man found a trove of Street photography. When | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
you see street photography of this level, you know that you are in the | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
hands of a genius. But who was Vivian Maier? This documentary looks | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
at the person behind the photographs. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
She is spelt her name differently. She spelt it with a B for boy | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
sometimes. Every combination of letters. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
We always called her Miss Vivian Maier. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
She is said to call me leave. I would have always called her | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Vivian. Why would you not want to tell | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
someone your real name? I ask her what she did, and her and so was, | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
another thing I will never forget, I am the sort of a spy. That is what | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
she said. I can still remember it. It was so strange. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
You ask who was Vivian Maier. Do we get a satisfactory answer? I think | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
that we get two sides. We get a lot of self portrait is of | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
her from her Street photography. We also see her work, that should speak | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
for itself, the quiet photographs that she takes in New York and | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Chicago, of couples, and of poverty. Really into photographs. But it is | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
not enough to find out who this woman was on why she did not find | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
her work published in her time. She always had her camera on when she | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
was a nanny, but she never showed any one her photographs. Why would | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
she not convicted of her talents when her images were breathtaking? | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
Who was this mystery woman and why did she not become an artist in her | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
real life? It is a mystery at the end, and in the end it is the work | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
that talks about her. That is the puzzle. If you are doing | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
something as compelling as this, you would surely want people to know? | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Otherwise why are you doing it? The film is good at examining do we have | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
a right to look at these boxes that were kept private? Should we open | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
this up? I think that we are richer for it, because her photographs are | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
amongst the best I have ever seen. What is the best one out there at | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
the moment? We have had a quiet a few weeks. It | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
is sobering that films are not as good as football sometimes. We | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
finally have some good films. The apes film is a great film. But the | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
best film out there is Boyhood, which looks at the life of one boy | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
from the age of six until he is 18. You watch him grow up. They filmed | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
this every year for 12 years, so you are watching someone grow. It is | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
time lapse photography of growing up. All life is there, it is also | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
about fathers and mothers and sisters. It is three and was long, | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
but for 12 years it is exciting. What is the best DVD at the moment? | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
I thought I would talk about a classic. It is good to look at the | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
classic films on DVD. Harold and Maud is out at the moment. When it | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
was released in 1971, people said that it was disgusting, but nobody | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
would want to see a love story like this. But it is still very funny. It | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
does not feel edgy anymore, it seems a bit normal yet weird. It is | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
American independent cinema and it is still very funny if you like. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Humour. A reminder that you will find more | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
film reviews across the BBC website, including our previous shows. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
That is it for this week. Thank you for watching. Goodbye. | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
It is nearly time for the BBC News, but just a reminder that at 10:30 | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
p.m., we will be talking about which stories are on different pages of | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
the newspapers. All the papers | :11:37. | :11:37. |
