Instinkt: Directed by Jon Turteltaub. With Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jr., Donald Sutherland, Maura Tierney. When noted anthropologist Dr. Ethan Powell, who left society to live in the jungle is imprisoned for murder, it’s up to young psychiatrist Theo Caulder to get through to him.

“On any level, this film has to be considered one of the most incisive and painful commentaries on the human condition. Above the acting (superior performances), above the direction, above all the production values is the constant message that we as a race are marching toward an open grave pit. For all our possessions, for all our wealth, for all our so-called achievements, we have yet to learn to respect the intelligence of nature and to act accordingly. u0026quot;Instinctu0026quot; is in every living organism and to deny oneu0026#39;s own instinct is to go against the natural order. The prison system in this country doesnu0026#39;t work because it is used to destroy manu0026#39;s spirit instead of supporting it. Until we learn how to live in harmony and love with all the other living organisms, we will continue to destroy what we seek to build. Donu0026#39;t buy those Christmas presents – support your wildlife fund. We donu0026#39;t need things, we need spiritual reconnection with the earth we live on. Dr. Powell, as played by Anthony Hopkins, is one of the most highly evolved beings ever seen in a movie. To the writer I am grateful for his creation, to Mr. Hopkins I am grateful for giving us a character to emulate. This movie has made a lasting impression on me. I hope it does the same for everyone who sees it. Open your heart because if you donu0026#39;t, then you will create your own inner prison and live a messy life that the rest of us will have to clean up.”
