Sci-fi, always have a look every now and then.
Although "Planet of the Apes" (1968) is not as profound and meaningful as "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Star Wars" and "Blade Runner", it still created a unique situation for the concept of "Apes" in this series of films.
Before that, I was always confused with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and I couldn't tell the difference, and I hadn't seen it at all. Take time out tonight to watch it.
This is a bitter movie.
Although the desert in the restricted area that the protagonist Taylor and his party walked through was only dry, there was no wind and sand, and it hurt your face, but after watching the whole movie, you have to make up your mind for the pain of wind and sand. Especially when Taylor stood by the sea at the end, looking at the broken Statue of Liberty, the waves hit him with the same bitter pain.
It's also a loopback movie.
Taylor started from the earth, sat in a spacecraft, and wanted to find a better place than the earth. As a result, he flew through a distance of hundreds of light-years at the speed of light and returned to the starting point. Although this starting point has long been different and vicissitudes.
This is another upside-down movie.
Compared with "Real Humans" and "Westworld", the humanoid "living creatures" that human beings may encounter when they take a few steps forward in the high-tech future era, "Planet of the Apes" makes the surrounding environment of human beings go back a few steps. step. Of course, Planet of the Apes is an upside-down, circular throwback.
In any case, if you want to reflect on human beings, you have to change your perspective. Otherwise, the mental line of sight is always staring at human beings. If you cannot change your perspective, you will not be able to expand your thinking.
If we remove the idea of adventure and exploration that Western Christian thought usually endows people, and replace it with a Chinese-style comedy and nonsensical style, it will be another absurd and ironic picture, and it will be easy to float.
For the setting of the "regressive" protagonist species like the orangutan, that is, the face of the orangutan and monkey, it has always been somewhat incompetent, and it is easy to regard it as a weird video story. After all, the orangutan face is not visually pleasing.
The film turns everything upside down in order to satirize the attitudes and ways humans treat animals. When watching, just reverse all human emotion and response patterns with those of the chimpanzee-like animals. Accept the difficulty despite being very aware of the story creator's intentions.
Speaking of which, it might be a little boring. For example, when the kind-hearted couple is kissing, and when the protagonist Tyler and the female ape "kiss goodbye", they can't bear it, and they can't feel any pleasure from the kissing parties.
The 1968 sci-fi, the action is not cool, the scene is not refreshing, the picture is not emotional, it is completely won by the story, and everything is substituted by imagination.
What were we doing in 1968? Busy WG. Of course, it's a bit too sarcastic to say that.
The ending of the film expresses the story with the dilapidated appearance of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of the United States. When it's our turn, can we use TianAnMen as a symbol of the country and the nation, and the broken appearance of the Great Wall to express the story?
Recalling an incident in the publishing circle back in the day, an editor came up with a book by an author. The content was to use a humorous tone to inventory and sort out MaKeSi's thoughts and anecdotes, but it was quickly rejected by the above, on the grounds that, MaKeSi is the spiritual feeling of several generations, how can such serious people and things be used to make fun of it?
In fact, the initiator did not mean to disrespect at all, which is completely different from the distortion and spoof of martyrs/sages/great people in live broadcasts/short videos.
Think about it, a dignified father or a great man has innocuous "disadvantages", which will only increase the goodwill of others for him, and at the same time he himself has more prestige, which is a manifestation of self-confidence and calmness.
Maybe we have experienced hardships for a long time, and every day we see a scene that is too bad to be worse, and we really don’t want to face it, so we simply turn away. Over time, I simply develop the habit of avoiding, out of sight and out of mind. If anyone dares to analyze and ridicule things that are originally taboos, that's fine? !
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the style, or you don't have a sense of humor, just because you don't have that mood.
However, although Hao Sijia in "Gone with the Wind" also used a temporary avoidance method of "thinking about tomorrow's things tomorrow" to deal with the predicament, she also had a clear belief in her heart that " tomorrow is a new day".
In contrast to our reality, even with such beliefs, it is often difficult to understand people.
When an ordinary person can face education, housing, medical care and other fields, can not be so laborious and laborious, and the results can be expected, the whole society can have a "leisure" mood to relax their minds, No longer so tense, to face yourself and reflect on yourself, you will be able to tolerate criticism, questioning and ridicule.
By that time, it would be easy to make up stories, right?
At the end of the writing, I found that I had gone astray. It can be seen how heartfelt the feelings above are. In fact, it can be said that there is no deviation, after all, it is the same bitter feeling as this film.
