If I were not a human being, what would I think of this movie? This is the question that occupied my mind first after watching the movie and watching a few comments.
I think the most exciting thing about this movie is that it sets up a number of ethical dilemmas, whether right or wrong. It is the choice between the apes and even the apes (Caesar and Coba) to make different evaluations. problem.
The orangutan tribe is like a coup of mankind. It allows us to see our own ugliness, as well as what is not ugly besides ugliness. Zhang Ailing said that life is a Chinese robe full of lice, and I say history is a river of blood full of lotus flowers.
Some critics say that Coba is a failure, so the orangutan becomes the responsible party for the war, but is this really the case? When Caesar told Coba that humans would leave after completing their work, Coba pointed to the scar on his body and said that this is human work. Human beings have been like this, who can guarantee that human beings will not be like this in the future. Caesar said that Coba only learned hate from humans. But is this hate the fault of Coba? It seems to be blamed on humans. But if the time is adjusted back to an era when human homes are constantly being invaded by wild beasts, it seems that the answer to the question has changed direction.
Contradictions often arise from the game of hoping for more love or less harm, and the general trend is always closer to the latter, so trust is much more difficult than suspicion, and the risk is much greater. What's more, Koba's concerns are justified. He wants to lead the race to eliminate the dangers of humankind in one fell swoop. Isn't it a very ambitious idea?
Imagine that Caesar is an emperor who chooses not to invade each other, and Coba is an emperor who chooses to eliminate foreign races to unite the world. It seems difficult to easily determine which is right and wrong.
The orangutans in the film behave like humans, which makes us very close, which makes the mayor repeatedly emphasize that "they are animals" but it seems so harsh, and this is actually what many of us usually think. They are animals and are used for food and clothing experiments.
The mayor finally released a bomb against Malcolm’s male protagonist's halo. In my opinion, this was a better choice that a parent official could make at the time, although this choice may be a kind of harm from a larger perspective. .
But is the choice of the male lead wrong? Of course not. It’s just that his choice is a high-risk investment that if there is a greater return, but if it is betrayed, it will lose all. The name of this investment is trust, which is exactly the kind of game I mentioned earlier. .
As a parent official of a city whose lives are tied here, the Lord Mayor cannot afford such a risk.
History only gives us one result, so we don’t know what the world will be like if this is not the case, maybe better than good, maybe worse than worse.
Is history regular? At least I can't see where and when the long river of history will flow.
But there is one thing I may be more sure of:
The water will always be red, and the lotus will always be open.
