Tarzan 2016

[brotherbear]

Finally, I watched Tarzan this morning on pay-per-view. Since in my younger years I read all 24 novels, each more than once, I found plenty of discrepancies. But over-all very near to the classic literary character. By the way Tshokwane, the great apes are not gorillas. In the fictional novels, the apes are of a fictional species called the mangani. From the very first Tarzan story published in 1912, Tarzan was very popular up until right about 1970. His books were the only books outselling the Bible world-wide. His movies always drew a big audience. 
It was education of the "real Africa" and better knowledge of the "real animals" that finally ended the Lord of the Jungle's reign. I give this Tarzan movie a big thumbs up. Reply
