The Rise of the Apes, like XFC, has all the elements to become an excellent prequel. The greater advantage is that it is more serious and closer to science fiction.
Hard science fiction focuses on scientific principles and the changes made to life by science and technology, while soft science fiction focuses on exploring humanistic topics. When it comes to this issue, the director said that he prefers the latter. From the title of the series Planet of Apes, it is destined to be a "literary and artistic fan." What is satisfying is that this film does not ignore the scientific elements. On the contrary, it gives the audience a reasonable explanation, and it is quite acceptable-this virus is a deadly threat to humans while improving the IQ of orangutans. ——This makes the orangutan's occupation of the planet and the decline of human society more believable. You will feel that such a doomsday and such an extinction method is much more realistic than the 2012 that the gods said, and it will come at any time.
Be realistic in the technical aspects, and then grasp the emotional aspects, you can smoothly pass a film through the qualifying line. The emotional line of this film is completely controlled by Caesar, and even Fu Lanlan, who connects everything together, is no better than the former's watery and sharp eyes! Although (you said don’t use a nickname) is a central figure, he developed the virus in an effort to save his father with Alzheimer’s; he raised Caesar and personally created a life that exceeds human intelligence and is also powerful. His original intention is to benefit mankind. , But it triggered subsequent conflicts because it touched the laws of nature. This creator is not evil at all, but he unintentionally pushed human society to the brink of collapse.
Any creature that has gained a high intelligence quotient will not change much for the earth itself. It may just be a change of ruler, but for the humans who originally occupied the top of the pyramid, it is a catastrophe. There is only 1.5% difference in genes between us and the orangutans. It is this weak advantage that makes us the ones who rule them, but once this gap is filled, the orangutans have wisdom beyond humans, and humans can’t match. Strength, the result can be imagined. The second half of the film starts with the earth-shattering "NO", as if we showed the horror of these guys after they seized power.
You might think, if Malfoy is not so jerk, it would be nice not to bully the orangutans, but this kind of revolution will happen sooner or later, because human beings have common problems with self-righteousness, and they think they are at the top, watching all creatures, not to mention. Treating other creatures equally, all of this seemed so unacceptable in Caesar's eyes, because he looked like a gorilla, but he was wiser in his heart. Even if Malfoy did not bully him, other Slytherin people would naturally appear, anger Caesar, and become the fuse of destruction. [Hey, don't discriminate against Slytherin! 】
Maybe you want to say that this is too old-fashioned, this is another example of modern technology destroying civilized society, because of the greed of capitalists, because of human hunger for things that do not belong to us, because humans do not want to accept the fate of old age. , Because humans are too self-righteous-well, such cases have been repeated for centuries, from the Lord of the Rings to the rise of the apes, thinking more people will always have a little fear of the changes brought about by technology, because it is likely to bring Here comes the devil. This tiny factor, which is not evil alone, is indeed the culprit for mankind's loss of power. It cannot but be said to be a kind of irony-after all, everyone has good wishes.
Andy Serkins is a great actor, from Gollum to King Kong to Caesar, this guy has become a professional in motion capture. He spent a few weeks with the orangutans in South Africa, playing Caesar effortlessly, especially the control of the facial muscles, including the sometimes innocent and sometimes fierce eyes, which made the facial paralyzed guys in humans feel ashamed. His next work The Adventures of Tintin will be released in China in December, so everyone can look forward to it.
(You said don’t use a nickname) was robbed of the limelight by Caesar, but this guy played the role of a scientist with an academy style. He watched more comedies such as the Pineapple Express and 127 hours of optimism. Check out his serious films. It's also very good. The slim suit is very handsome, that is-the shirt is a bit tight on the belly. The rivalry between him and Caesar always makes people shed tears, and the beautiful feelings between humans and beasts can cross races.
Tom, Felton, don’t play the little villain next time, it's still a bad villain with no technical level. If you have a certain type, it will be bad, have you heard it!
