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