I don’t know if it’s because I watched this film directly because I didn’t watch “Planet of the Apes”, so I really like it. The shortcomings are obvious. The orangutans are not simulated enough, their expressions are not captured well enough, and some plots are illogical and criticized a lot, but I think these are not something the director wants to focus on, so I can ignore them. The director gave the hegemony of the planet to the orangutan, and human beings became the slaves and pets of the orangutan, allowing all the audience to feel the taste of being ruled by aliens and understand the fate of contemporary aliens. The film tortures the supremacy of mankind, satirizes the egoism of modern humans, and makes us start thinking about racial equality. Orangutans have thoughts, and all animals are. They cry and laugh but are afraid of pain. Why do you think you are the boss? , Can unscrupulous massacres and massacres of foreign races? Hitler slaughtered Jews, Japanese slaughtered Chinese... The bloody essence is actually the same. The moment they picked up the butcher knife, they just didn't treat us as compatriots.

In addition to the humanistic thinking behind the film, the traversal part also gave me a lot of surprises. Although there are still many logical loopholes, after all, it is a very good start to achieve this in the theme of traversal in 2001. Especially when the protagonist returns to the earth at the end, when he returns to Washington, he sees that the original Lincoln Monument has turned into a monument to Orangutan Side. It turns out that the orangutans in the future world have already rushed out of the orangutan ball and ruled the earth...

10 years later, Hollywood has finally returned to it. Challenge the theme of the apes. This humanities science fiction continues to warn of human arrogance and prejudice, and it also warns of the death of science. If one day, the development of science and technology goes out of control, and the orangutans start to work together to start the battle to defend their homes, will humans still hold them? The times and scenes of this story are set in modern times, and perhaps the audience is wider, and it is easy for more people to resonate. Regarding the growth of Caesar's sense of mission and the lack of dramatic emotional evolution with Franco, expression capture is the biggest selling point.

    In the end, the male protagonist went back in the aircraft and thought that he was back in the United States. He didn't expect to get off the aircraft and see a group of apes, and that bad ape has become a heroic statue. Standing in the White House, the aircraft flew over distance in space or over time. ... never go back...
