Say "NO"

I watched it once before, because the last one came out, and I revisited it recently. Caesar's mother Mingshou was kept in a laboratory for experiments, and was later killed to protect her child. Newborn Caesar was taken home by scientist Will, but unexpectedly, Caesar inherited his mother's genes and was very smart. Caesar has lived happily with the Will family since he was a child, but he is like a child, hoping to go out and play with others. He also knew how to protect his family. After accidentally wounding someone by mistake, Caesar had to separate from Will and enter the detention center. In the detention center, Caesar saw the cold-blooded side of humans, and slowly stopped believing in humans, and was full of hostility towards humans. He slowly led all the orangutans in the detention center and led them to resist humans. For the first time, Caesar said "NO". He took all the orangutans to the mangrove forest and said no to humans. In fact, although there are a lot of humanity revealed in the movie, I still feel that there is a lot of warmth. Will could have euthanized the newly born Caesar, but he took him home, taught him to learn, taught him to live like a human, and treat him like family. When Caesar said he was a pet, Will told him that he was his family and he was his father. Tell Caesar his life experience. When his family was bullied, Caesar rushed out of the house to protect his family by accidentally hurting others. While in the detention center, Caesar drew the mark of his home, believing that his family would come to pick him up. The rise of orangutans is not accidental, but inevitable. Human beings always add their own ambitions to the harm of others. Their rise precisely illustrates the greed in human nature.
