humans in despair killed each other, as we're prone to do, the human population became sparser, and finally, the city became ruins. Caesar still lives with his compatriots in the forest park near the Golden Gate Bridge. I don't know if humans are dead, but they often think of them. Until one day, for the sake of **spoiler spoiler spoiler**, humans and orangutans met again.
I was so excited when the first trailer of this movie came out, because Fu Lanlan’s first film "starring" gave me quite a surprise, and I am looking forward to the superb skills of the real starring Andy Serkis and his role. Fate after Caesar. Apes on Horses with Guns in Both Hands!! After watching various trailers, I think I understand the meaning. The taste of dancing with wolves, Gary Oldman is a bloodthirsty villain, Jason Clark is Kevin Costner, and the orangutans are unyielding. Revolt. But Gary Oldman is not the big villain in the trailer. In fact, the relationship between the apes and the man is more complicated in this film. The whole movie is very implicitly interspersed with many comments on human nature and politics.
The first thing to praise for this film is the special effects. Since there are more orangutans in this one, and more orangutans are smarter, the "motion capture" technology is used more frequently and more delicately than the previous one. The eyes, body hair, expressions, and movements of the orangutans are all done very well. lifelike. Especially the orangutan Maurice, really can't see the difference with real.
If you disagree with my mad criticism of change 4, why don't you think I should not praise the special effects of change 4? In fact, 1.5 of my 2 stars give it special effects.
Change 4 cost 210 million, and Apes cost 1.7. The difference between positive and negative reviews is whether the movie is nutritious.
In addition to Dawn's good special effects, the next thing I want to praise is acting. Andy Serkis still did not disappoint this time. His Caesar expressions, actions, and expressions were very vivid, which not only made people see that he was actually an orangutan, but sometimes made people forget that he was just an orangutan. If it was said that he was the protagonist in the previous movie and someone opposed it, he is definitely the protagonist in this movie, and no one can object. Not only does he appear very majestic in front of the orangutan, but he is also not at all demeanor in front of humans. Even if he is not in the picture, you can feel his presence. Caesar is also very complicated. He is the leader. He has the highest IQ. He taught his compatriots sign language and writing. He is awesome, but he is still not democratic. He has a hot temper. The whole tribe must listen to his orders. It is inevitable to be arbitrary and make some unwise choices. But Caesar's character is very remarkable for his tolerance and tolerance, as well as his glimmer of hope for human kindness-thanks to Fu Lanlan. In general, Caesar is a "king" with a big picture.
But in addition to Caesar, Toby Kebbell (Black Mirror) performed a great performance on Koba, the ugly orangutan who was completely abused by humans. Of course, this can certainly be attributed to Andy Serkis's on-site training. Koba hates humans because he has never seen the good side of humans. His heart was full of anger. And he is still very minded, not going crazy when he sees a human being. There is a scene in which he deliberately pretends to be a silly monkey that humans are used to seeing in acrobatics or television, so that they can put down their guns. It will definitely become one of the classic shots that everyone discusses. The human beings that are reflected in this scene are also very sad about the discrimination, enslavement and abuse of higher animals for their own enjoyment.
However, the roles of human beings are relatively straightforward, simple and binary, without much development. This may be criticized by others, but since the orangutans are the protagonists, what is the simpler supporting role? So I am willing to ignore this problem.
The film’s photography is also very good. There is a shot that follows a tank car while driving and shooting 360 degrees. It has not been broken after about 3 laps. Various artillery fire, melee combat, and orangutan riding are included, which is very good. concept.
By the way, as a nerd, I have to mention a certain shot. It reminds me of the Lion King. If you watch Dawn, you should guess which shot it is. Long Live the King! The same shot also reminded me of 007——"For England?" "No, for me." Then it reminded me of "Ser Ilyn Payne, bring me his head." I thought of "my brother, my captain, my King." But these have nothing to do with this movie! ! If you are a girl and understand me, please leave your number.
Fu Lanlan was given a Cameo for the whole film, but it was actually just a few seconds of footage from the previous one. However, it is very contagious. It not only allows you to relive the deep friendship and even family relationship between Caesar and Fu Lanlan, but also makes you sigh how far the role of Caesar has gone and how many changes have been made.
In addition, there are many moving pictures about family relationships, friendship, and more powerful survival and destiny. But neither these touching shots nor the truth behind the story make people feel reluctant or overly greasy, especially the tears, which are unknowingly attacked from behind. Unlike change 4, as long as someone/ape shoots a gun, you can't hide from bullets by running around. Because of the danger and the high degree of reality, the whole movie has enough urgency to make the audience forget that they are watching the movie and plunge into that world.
The most central impression of the movie is that there are good people, bad people, and people whose judgment is obscured by incomplete information. There are also selfless, selfish, and emotionally manipulated people in orangutans. Humans began to be rude to orangutans, or orangutans began to hate humans, all started from small frictions, and the prejudiced extremists in their respective groups were reckless and manipulated toward their compatriots, incomplete information, and lack of communication— -These are exactly the reasons for the escalation of conflicts and the outbreak of wars. These sounds really familiar. If you don't believe me, turn on the TV and watch the news.
So click on the question-who is starting the war? Was it the first scientific research pharmaceutical company? Is it Fu Lanlan? Is Caesar released from my compatriots? Is it Koba? Is it Joe Toye from Brother Company? Is it Gary Oldman? Is it the radio? There is no standard answer to this question, but it will push us to keep asking "if". If Koba has not been abused by humans, if Caesar has not hit his neighbor Mr. Asshole, if Joe Toye is not Mr. Asshole No. 2, if Gary Oldman has personally experienced what kind of person Caesar is, if Koba has encountered a gunman The two are not redneck but people who are kind to him. If Koba... there are many "if" spoilers, but wait, wait.
In the end we can only admit to ourselves: Assholes and the narrow-minded start wars. They may not directly cause it. It might not even be their goals. But they contribute to it 99%. Be compassionate. Have empathy. And don't be an asshole.
Let me translate: wars are waged by bastards and narrow-minded people. They may not be the direct cause, or they did not even want to start a war, but 99% of the wars are due to them. So everyone should be tolerant, empathetic, and don't be assholes.
In short, this movie distracted me a little bit logically except for some plots (why didn't the orangutans go to find Caesar under the tree? Why did Caesar suddenly have chakras again), and someone asked me to write that Soundtrack was particularly bad (I I don't know anything), and the others didn't disappoint me. A.
