The old version is much better than the one made by Tim Burton.

The old version is on the apes. It makes sense for humans to lose language and writing and completely degenerate into animals. In the remake, humans still have the ability to communicate with each other, so there should not be too many interruptions in the cultural heritage. However, the primitive people in the film are too white and too clean. This should be reduced by a few points. There is also racial discrimination among apes, chimpanzees, and orangutans, which is explained indirectly through the dialogues of several protagonists.

In order to increase the action scene, Tim Burton retains more of the characteristics of apes in the ape-man, such as amazing bounce ability, chest beating when angry, and eight punches in battle. Good-looking is good-looking, but it is not in line with the highly evolved civilization. Ape-man society, the performance in the original version is much more reasonable. Tim Burton may also be aware of this, so in his remake, the ape-man society is probably in the Roman era, while the ape-man in the old version has evolved to the Renaissance era and also has gunpowder weapons.

For some of the films I have seen, I feel strongly that human beings are selfish, loveless, cruel to small animals and flowers and plants, and then feel disappointed in humans and vigorously lash out. I think it is unnecessary. The original author has experienced the Vietnam War and wrote a novel. The preaching taste is very strong, and the position in the history of science fiction is not much higher. Don’t you see the apes, after turning over to take charge, the human experience is not worse, it is simply "unavailable for slaves." The two races cannot marry and merge, and there are only so many resources, so they have to fight for the calculation. In fact, there are really talking orangutans. Humans may not be able to coexist peacefully. However, apartheid is still serious in the world at the time of the author's time. The three wars are on the verge of initiation, and of course it is a little pessimistic. Today this argument has long been outdated, don't you see that among the people in black, except for a big cockroach, people from different alien species can live together in harmony.

Regardless of whether it is the old version or the new version, there are basically only white people (there is a black character in the new version), and the other races are probably dead, or whether my Chinese ancestors are blessed or human beings are the masters. In any case, in Lao Mei's film, even at the end of the world, the magnificent people are still whites, yellow people, and letting them build ships is already a shame.

The two films are put together for comparison, and the differences in some details are also very interesting. For example, the beauty in the old version was assigned by the apes, and there is also a beauty in the new version, but the protagonist has no good luck assigned. The beauties in the old version have big breasts, but the new version is strong and independent. The ape beauty in the old version has a firm relationship with her own lover of the same kind, and the male protagonist is quite ambiguous to her. The ape beauty in the new version is very affectionate to the male protagonist, and she still eats tofu from time to time, which is almost no sex scene. It can be regarded as Tim Burton's evil taste.

In fact, according to my thoughts, according to the aesthetics of the ape-man, they would never choose such a beautiful mate for the male lead. They should think that hairy, long hands, and violent teeth are the beauties. For example, Feng Sister is a type. More fun.

    The ending made me anxious at 4am. oh fuck! [self-reflection. Is this the fear of critical realism? Still afraid and afraid of the ugly existence. But dear Miss Junko, you can no longer be cowardly and silent. reality. the truth. Hey. It's only slightly related to the movie. ]

    As long as I haven't seen the old version, I think this one is pretty good. Although I knew the ending for a long time, I still felt nervous and shocked. After reading the introduction of the old version, I feel that it is indeed much stronger than this in terms of depth and logic, but the effect is definitely not comparable to the new version.
