Watch Human Apes from the Orient For Free
Human Apes from the Orient
The subject is two grotesque-looking human beings who are sitting on the deck of a ship. The two weird individuals sit cross-legged and do the bidding of a man in oriental costume. The point of the film seems to be directed at the fact that the bone structure of the two subjects makes them look like monkeys or apes, and the spectators seem to be trying to get them to behave like monkeys, that is, scratch themselves, etc.

Undescribable Perfection
A Masterpiece!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
The transfer on YouTube is of a fuzzy videotape copy, with the online source and the rolling time stamp of the tape taking up about a quarter of the screen. It appears to be set on the deck of a ship where two men with peculiar haircuts, wearing long shirts, sit cross-legged and pick at each other as if they were apes grooming, or walking about clumsily in the manner of chimpanzees. There are 55 views since it was posted on September 19, 2017. Over on the Internet Movie DataBase, there are six votes for a average rating of 1.8; G.W. Bitzer is credited as the cameraman and American Mutoscope & Biograph as the production company and distributor. A Google search turns up nothing else but two other YouTube copies, with but a single comment among them: "Wow."Carnival sideshow act? People raised by wild animals? People with birth defects? Internet hoax? I've no idea.
