Of all the movies, my favorite is of course art movies.
So what is art?
Art is an indivisible whole experience that can touch people's hearts, which is different from secular nature and is not free from habitual prejudice.
We can divide art films into two categories, one is the cosmic consciousness category, which requires the performer to have a profound philosophical awareness of the philosophical construction of the universe (that is, the mind is the Buddha), so that it is a vast and lonely cosmic realm, And can reflect on human civilization (including science and materialism, etc.) and the life of the universe under the observation of this philosophical realm. For example, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Space, Inception, Butterfly Effect, Dimensional Hackers, Phantom Jacket, Source Code, Vanilla Sky, Open Your Eyes, Lola Run, Twelve Monkeys, Soul Shifting City, etc. , The other category is the genius reflection category. The so-called genius is to remove all constraints. It is anti-social, political and moral education, national law, marriage, love, family, birth, old age, sickness and death are impermanent good and evil (note that life is included) These are things that kill genius, because genius What is required is absolute perfection. If expressed according to the normal orbit, it is a beautiful fairy tale, such as the big fish, Edward Scissorhands, etc. If expressed according to the reverse orbit, it is to kill the lunatic, such as Flying Over the Madhouse, A Clockwork Orange, The First Blood , Bleeding behind bars, Pianist at sea, Endless Flowers, Fight Club, etc. Combining the madman and the fairy tale is the flower of evil, such as My Heart is Wild, Born to Kill, Killer Elegy, Sunset Yellow Sand, Tiger and Leopard, Blue Velvet, Barber Todd, etc. If the above two categories are added together, it will express the life of the universe, such as rejuvenation, American past, beautiful life, Paradise Cinema, graduates and so on.
The old version of the Planet of the Apes series consists of five parts: Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Lost in the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle of the Apes. It belongs to the comprehensive category of cosmic consciousness plus genius reflection. It is very beautiful, very classic, and worthy of interpretation. For Tim Burton's reasons, it is collectively called the Planet of the Apes.
Planet of the Apes talks about several kinds of animals and many time travels. In fact, all the stories take place on earth and all animals are humans. If you don't understand this, then you will watch this film in vain. In "Planet of the Apes", a great fable of cosmic life, human beings have gone through a journey like this:
Apes (ancestors of human beings)----- some evolved, some did not evolve ---- evolved humans created modern civilization (represented by science) ---- the science of killing, on the one hand, made evolved humans Begin to lose their humanity, and on the other hand, the original apes that have not evolved began to evolve----the science and civilization of killing continued to develop, all animals were killed by humans, and there were only apes and humans left in the world. The evolved Humans enslave unevolved orangutans and use them to do cruel scientific experiments (at this time, humans are not humans, and apes are not apes) --- orangutans continue to evolve, and humans begin to alienate (in essence, degeneration, at this time humans are apes, and apes are humans ---- the evolution of apes and apes global revolution, the degenerate human beings use nuclear weapons if they can't win, nuclear weapons have no effect on the apes that have not fully evolved, but they harm themselves. At this time, modern civilization has been destroyed and began to degenerate. Only a small part of the human beings are left to hide in the ground, and a small part of them surrender——the apes who have helped to evolve, and those who are hiding in the ground continue to develop science and modern civilization, and continue to degenerate (I think it is evolution)-- -The evolved apes began to enslave the surrendered ones under the revelation of modern civilization, and learned the science of human development (using human beings to do experiments)---the surrendered ones began to degenerate under enslavement and could no longer speak, while those who hid in the ground had become For aliens (in their own opinion, they should have evolved to an unprecedented extreme. They can communicate without eating, drinking, sleeping, and without talking. They can attack others with sonic will. At this time, human beings are crazy, blind and incompetent to the extreme. You see here You will be very desperate, just like the future man in the robot WALL-E) ----The evolved apes have begun to have the evil of civilization, and the apes are incompatible. In the last battle, they are used by alien humans at this time. The last nuclear weapon and the apes that evolved into humans perished together with the destruction of the earth. Humans destroyed themselves. Some apes and apes traveled back to the past of human beings and survived. The human stage at this time is the third stage above—survived The orangutan couple gave birth to an ape-man Caesar, and the humans who began to alienate and were bound to perish killed the ape couple, that is, killed their own future with their own hands. The consciousness of civilization has caused human beings to kill their own future (orangutan couple) with their own hands, the earth is destroyed, and time and space travel to the past cannot solve the problem, ------ Caesar survived to lead the global revolution, human beings could not win, launch Nuclear weapons (science under modern civilization) destroy themselves, and some scientists travel through time and space to the future to escape the catastrophe----in the future, these scientists will be experimented by future humans, namely apes, and by underground humans ( Heterogeneous)Killing, even escaping to the future is a death when man wants to destroy himself - that's the whole story
The strange thing is that of the five series, only the first one has the original novel, and the last four were filmed by different directors and turned out to be so successful. Really AMERICAN ah.
(Note that in Tim Burton’s remake of Planet of the Apes, the surrendered humans have not completely degenerated so they can speak. As for this year’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, nuclear weapons have been replaced by viruses, motion capture technology, and special effects technology are all very good. I’m looking forward to it. sequel, hope not to forget the theme)
