      Is this also hard science fiction? ?

      When I first saw this film, my first reaction was to think of 2001: A Space Odyssey. At the beginning of the film, the part where astronauts trekked in the seemingly alien desolate land really made me think that this was a hard sci-fi, and I entered the ape. Whether the future part of the world is considered hard science fiction, or more like a fable, I have a hard time judging.

      After watching the first one, I went on to watch the second and third (the fourth was half asleep), and in...

      Comment on "Planet of the Apes" | A good "I'm back" - the feeling of bitter sand blowing sore face

      Sci-fi, always have a look every now and then.

      Although "Planet of the Apes" (1968) is not as profound and meaningful as "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Star Wars" and "Blade Runner", it still created a unique situation for the concept of "Apes" in this series of films.

      Before that, I was always confused with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and I couldn't tell the difference, and I hadn't seen it at all. Take time out tonight to watch it.

      This is a bitter movie.

      Although...

      this is a true story

      The history of the earth is about 4.6 billion years. Human history is only 5,000 years old. The time of human history is almost negligible for the earth, and some signs such as prehistoric nuclear reactors found in some countries indicate that human beings are definitely not the first civilization on earth. Like a movie Just like some of the orangutan doctors in the film, the current human executives are reluctant to admit it and are trying their best to hide the truth. In the film, the...

      It's more of a fable than a science fiction

      Many people struggle with the fact that the film is not sci-fi enough, not hard enough.

      "The spaceship obviously does not rotate to simulate gravity, so why don't the astronauts float?"

      "The composition of the atmosphere is the same as the earth. Why does the protagonist act like a fool and don't know that he is on the earth?"

      "Humans have degenerated into that, what kind of fig leaf are they wearing?"

      "I rely on monkeys to speak English..."

      No need, because it...

      Planet of the Apes has only one bright spot

      Because it is a famous old film, the general plot is known, so the ending did not shock me. But that's not my reason for giving Samsung.

      Question 1: The stars in the sky are the same as the sun, the ape language is the same as the protagonist, and the human appearance is similar to the protagonist, but the protagonist keeps saying "I came from another planet" and never thinks "this is the earth", which is too unreasonable.

      Question 2: The protagonist's language ability, thinking...

      The interim trial was a bit long, but otherwise it was fine. Probably that paragraph is to warn the transcendental public: When you encounter places like the Middle Ages, don't casually say that you have a more nb knowledge system than...

      Without this ending, Samsung would be a problem, but as soon as the last irony appeared, the loophole was no longer a loophole, and everything came naturally. As a dystopian classic, it is indeed cult to the extreme. Although there are still many problems in the details, its far-reaching intention conceals...

      I guessed the ending more than halfway... The shock and rationality of the last scene lies in the construction of this huge world view. The most convincing thing is that in the infinite universe and the infinity beyond what we know, you can't say it must not...

    Evaluation action

    The film has excellently constructed a complete world view, the theme of the confrontation between ape civilization and humans appears, and time travel as an important element of the narrative also appears in the film. The political skills adopted by the senior government officials in the film to build national cognition and create their own culture make the film show an extraordinary pattern. The film is the foundation work of the...
