The order of arriving at the Ape Ball is clearly explained in the movie. The first one should be the mothership group, the next one is the protagonist, and the last one is the orangutan. Why is the time difference between the mothership and the protagonist so many years, but the protagonist and the orangutan are so close? Some people mentioned the law of traversal, I don’t think it is. Randomness is like two people traveling at the same time, one in the Ming Dynasty and the other in the Qin Dynasty.
Is the Ape Ball the Earth? My interpretation should be. At the beginning of the movie, it was mentioned that due to the electromagnetic storm of the sun, it is necessary to send apes to explore the way, indicating that they should still be in the solar system. The movie talks about traveling through time rather than space. Therefore, after passing through, they are still in the solar system. Then the solar system only has trees on the earth. There is air in the water, and there are human beings. In other words, the mothership has passed through the tribal era of humans. This can also explain why the film explains why there are so many humans after all the orangutans on the mothership are killed, because those humans are the ancestors of our tribal era. Horses are also originally there.
Whether General Ted in the last memorial hall is Ted the orangutan in the Apes, the answer is yes. Many people say that this is just a coincidence. I don't think the movie will arrange a useless bridge for no reason. It can only be said that after the protagonist left the earth in the tribal period, Ted was released by the orangutan. It can be seen from the movie that the breakup between the general and Ted looks very far-fetched. This is not a loophole in the movie, but a stopgap measure to tell the audience that they are only involved in the protagonist's prostitution (Ted has been detained). Even if they agree with the view of harmonious coexistence, after all, only the orangutan army is present, and most of the residents have not expressed their position. In addition, don't forget that the natural desire for power and superiority are deeply ingrained. Perhaps after the protagonist left, the orangutan army turned their faces on the spot and released Ted to slaughter humans. Perhaps after the orangutans reached a coexistence agreement, an orangutan rebellion eventually seized power and slaughtered humans and pursued Ted as a great man. In short, humans were wiped out. The protagonist in the movie often said that most of the orangutans on the earth died due to human activities, and the remaining are in the zoo. I think if the human remains, it should be locked in the zoo by the orangutan.
At the end of the movie, I think it is to tell the audience that human civilization has stopped in the tribal era, and replaced by those orangutans that have established a modern civilization that belongs to orangutans after a long period of development. As for what many people said about Black Lincoln at the end, I think it's a fiction. The director believes that Lincoln is a great man recognized by the audience, and the iconic buildings and sculptures of the Lincoln Memorial can more strongly shock the audience. The orangutans have established a civilization that should have been established by humans.
