Because it is a famous old film, the general plot is known, so the ending did not shock me. But that's not my reason for giving Samsung.

Question 1: The stars in the sky are the same as the sun, the ape language is the same as the protagonist, and the human appearance is similar to the protagonist, but the protagonist keeps saying "I came from another planet" and never thinks "this is the earth", which is too unreasonable.

Question 2: The protagonist's language ability, thinking ability, and action ability should cause a sensation in the ape society, and it is impossible to be concealed by Dr. Ape; but he was suppressed by him in the movie, and even the elder of the court trial who witnessed the miracle with his own eyes It didn't even vibrate, it's really unreasonable.

Question 3: The purpose of the story is to "protect the sanctity of the 'Ape Bible' and conceal the truth of human civilization." This setting is really absurd. Does the "Ape Bible" make sense? According to the logic of the story, the "first ape" who wrote this "Bible" was afraid that the "later ape" would respect human beings; but in reality, even if a species once developed, we would be afraid that it has become a beast in the forest. species? Not only are we not afraid, but we will widely publicize and learn from them. The setting of the "Ape Bible" is too absurd, so the episode "Dr. Ape conceals the truth of civilization" is also absurd.

On the other hand, many ordinary shots such as walking, going up and down, and picking up objects (that is, there is no potential explanation in the shots, just to tell the audience that "this person walked over" and "that person took a bottle from the table") gave Too long, resulting in a messy rhythm of the story.

Then there is Charlton Heston's performance is too dramatic. Also, the music is too exaggerated, overwhelming, and I don't like it.

The only bright spot is the big idea of ​​"man and ape, role reversal".
