Story

Here is more or less the story (a little more extended version.. don't take it too literal.. just gets the idea)


It starts with a bird(s) flying in the air, happy and free, golden skies- then you hear a faint helicopter sound,

Huge Transport choppers enter the shot

Inside the chopper, a whole bunch of Gorillas are chained to their seats- Lights on their heads are flashing yellow-

but there is a human going to each one and inserting a key, and once he does this the light on that ape turns solid

red and he immediately stops moving, starting straight ahead with a emotionless expression

(this contrasting to the nice outside shot at the intro)

We focus on a Gorilla near the front of the chopper, light still yellow. He is leaning over as far as he can,

attempting to reach this thing on his head, but cant quite reach it (clawing the air) until eventually the human

comes and turns his switch and the ape sits up with the same emotionless expression as the others now have, Red

light on now

The human gives the pilot a thumbs up and says something like, "lets drop these Apes off and get the hell outta

here" - or perhaps nothing is said at all

The chopper decends into a junglescape and hovers just above the surface. the large door at the back of the chopper

opens and a dozen or so gorillas exit in a line, all expressionless (angry looking if anything) - once they are out,

the door closes and the chopper flies off in the direction it came

basically from now on there is a crazy war- Gorillas kicking "enemy" Guerrilla ass- And seem to be winning until the

Guerrillas retreat and they follow (into a Trap)

An explosion goes off from a trip wire or something and kills several (or all of) the Gorillas...but one

This Gorillas wakes up, alone- dead bodies all around him- The light on his head blinking Yellow... for the first

time he is free (and unbound) He is happy and tries to scrape at the implant with his fingers, to get it off- but

an enemy solider fires at him from behind and the Implant turns back on (to red) he lunges in the direction of the soldier-

screen blacks out (representing the Gorilla blacking out when he is taken over by the chip.. as in he doesnt

remember the things that happens when he is under control of it)

Implant fails again and he comes back to conciousness- and he sees around him now several dead Enemy soldier

bodies.. he has no idea what happened

After this confusion he starts going after the implant again, with a little more desperation- he knows it must have

something to do with it, and it is itchy

Something different triggers the implant to turn on again (blackout once more) Implant fails and the Gorilla is

holding a dead soldier in his hands.. confused and frightened he drops the soldier and implant engages again

(blackout once more (each time it blacks out the duration is shorter and shorter) this time when he comes back to, light mainly yellow

but sort of fizzling between that to red --> he is holding a yelling soldier, live and fist is up ready to deliever

a blow

He fights his fist, does not want to harm the soldier as he has no personal quarrell with him, but the device keeps

telling him to- he finally overpowers the device and is able to throw back the enemy soldier a little ways (the

soldier is weaponless at this point- out of ammo or jammed gun)

He has a crazy battle againt the implant now, which is constantly jumping between red and yellow, Gorilla is running

around smashing bushes in anguish and finally is able to detach the implant, - Gorilla is now 100% free of his

torment

He happily prances, sorta playing with the implant then throwing it or something random and then decides to

climb a tree. the ending shot is him at the top of the trees over looking the jungle, the battle still going on

around him, perhaps you see smoke and hear distant gun fire.. but he is just eating berries or fruit of some kind,

enjoying the freedom - Birds flying overhead
