After reading it, I realized that this is the third part of the old "Five Steps of the Apes". I immediately became interested in this series, and decided to start from the first one to enjoy it. It's really an old film. This third film was released in 1971. When I think of these people in orangutan suits jumping about in the movie, I am not even born yet, it feels very strange.
The first half of the film is quite interesting. The ape couple Konis and Ziri are full of personality and charm. Even if the makeup techniques at the time were awkward and simple, they did not affect their humorous expression at all. The latter part is heavy and sad, and there is actually the concept of time-traveling destiny, which is really powerful.
There is a section of news broadcasts in various countries, in English, French, and Japanese...I thought divergently: If I remake it now, I will definitely add a Chinese broadcast. You know, now there are Britneys in "King Kong"! Thinking about it this way, national pride emerges spontaneously. Inexplicably, I saw the rise of Greater China in the rise of the Apes.
