      "Battle of the Apes" (1973 version): idealist Caesar

      There is no permanent banquet in the world, and the old version of the "Planet of the Apes" series has finally come to an end here in the fifth "Battle of the Apes". Since the first blockbuster of "Planet of the Apes", this series has launched a sequel at a rate of almost one a year. Later generations may only be comparable to the two major series of "Harry Potter" and "Saw Terror"....

      Humans and apes are the same

      Take a look at the Five Steps to the Planet of the Apes. In the final analysis, it is human reflection. The insinuations of Nazism, militarism, and the history of black slaves are particularly prominent. Especially, when we compare the first part of the first human beings to the world of the apes and the fourth part of the first human beings to the human world, the plot is almost the same! The reversal of the positions of humans and apes has not changed the nature of human beings. In other...

      The Planet of the Apes series has a huge and complete world view.



      In 1972,

      astronauts Taylor, Dodge, Stewart, and Langdon began their first interstellar exploratory voyage.

      The astronauts "Captain" (unknown name) and Brandt flew along the same route as the previous spacecraft to explore the cause of its mysterious disappearance.

      In 1973,

      a spacecraft mysteriously appeared in near-Earth space and landed on a California beach. It was...

      "Battle of the Apes": a raccoon dog

      The fifth part of the Planet of the Apes series.

      I admire myself. I even read all five of them. Although I dozed off for 15 minutes in this film.

      Sleep for a while, but it doesn't affect the plot. The plot tells the final battle between humans and orangutans, and Caesar still hopes to change the future.

      The investment in this film is less than the previous one. Seeing the title of the movie "Decisive Battle", the scene must be spectacular, but it is not. It's an...

      As the ending, it's always a bit disappointing

      Looking at the five books, many places echoed. For example, in the fourth one, I kept wondering why the history of the ape tribe was different from the third one, and finally found that the history has been changed. As a human being, seeing the final outcome vaguely feel that the future seems to be a little safer again~
      However, from the first to the last, the content that I want to express seems to be too far away. At the beginning, the director focused more on the idea of ​​criticizing...

      The beginning of the story is slightly disconnected from the timeline of the previous episodes. The ape society has become a more complete projection of human society, including cannibalism and the rise of military power. The story of the ape quintet did not end up in an endless cycle of despair. The future is changed, but Who can really control this thing in the future? Probably only the...

    Movie quotes

    • Lisa: I don't want to have to remember my husband. I want to love him now.

    • Abe the teacher: No, Aldo, no!

    • Caesar: Ah, if only my mother and father, whom I was too young to remember... If only they'd lived, perhaps they would have taught me if it was right to kill evil so that good shall prevail.

      MacDonald: But you know, Caesar, history shows...

      Caesar: Oh no, no, no. That is human history, not ape history. Ape, never kills ape.
