The new Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (by the way, the names of the two films are really earthy, rise and dawn are both big names...), the director is replaced, and there is a 3D version, which makes it clear that you must strike while the iron is hot. . How's the effect? First of all, the 3D effect is insincere, and it is just a means of charging more money. I hope that in the future there will be a website where fans can vote to remind other viewers whether a movie is worth watching in 3D.
In terms of plot style, different from the previous film’s complete portrayal of Caesar’s entire growth experience and personality, this one highlights the “battle”, so the rhythm is more compact, but it also seriously loses the rationality of the plot. The growth of Caesar and ape is long and reasonable when the previous game has medicine. But in this one, in order to reach the level of a war with humans, apes developed rapidly, and even got a gun the first day, and the next day, he could accurately ride and shoot the fortified humans. The humans who survived the virus immunity do not know if the immune genes are close to the fool genes, and they have hardly made correct strategic decisions in the battle with apes. These not rigorous plots are regrettable, and they have made the series a big step from a sought-after science fiction film to a popcorn blockbuster.
Matt Reeves, who has filmed "The Clover Archives", obviously has a hand in action scene scheduling, which is probably an important reason why investors like him. But I don't know if it is to save investment, most of the action scenes are night scenes with low illumination, and the shock of the scenes will be greatly reduced. The monster watching in the darkness evokes the audience's fear of the unknown. The planet of apes is obviously more suitable for the omniscience perspective. It is still necessary for the audience to have an intuitive feeling about the number and scale of apes, and to give a shockingly different and powerful reality to trigger the audience’s fear instead of appearing in a mess in the dark.的坨坨. It’s easy to understand that the homosexuals in the cabinet and the blacks in the manor are not terrible. The horrible thing is the gay kissing on the street and the nigger sitting next to the bus. The horror of the other lies in invading the subject’s life with a clear image. .
What is worthy of recognition is the continuation of the neat script of the previous work. Although compact, the main line of Caesar still has delicate ups and downs. His attitude towards humans and apes has developed new. Among the three aspects of the previous work mentioned in the opening chapter, although there are no new scientific elements, the metaphors of the real society have a good continuation. In the previous work, the apes, as the other, are blacks with abominable appearance and homosexuals spreading diseases. In the end, apes returns to the woods, which is equivalent to the return of blacks to Africa, and homosexuals get into the cabinet, and the main problem is solved satisfactorily.
And this movie has a new development. The black elder brother of the dam repair team said: They are stronger than us, because they don't need lights and electricity. Apes has transformed into a group with strong organization, low life requirements, and non-compliance with existing rules. With the decline of mainstream civilization, they have become a huge threat by virtue of the above advantages. Who is the other being feared here? Don’t be polite, everyone, let’s take a seat. The infinite desire for life has spawned a devastating virus, just as the financial crisis spawned by the infinite desire for profit. Moreover, in the confrontation, the hawks lacked IQ, and the left was immaturely ill. San Francisco, which fell like Constantinople, symbolized the capitalist civilization that has lost its institutional self-confidence.
Of course, aside from the embellishment of metaphors, Hollywood’s politically correct narrative is tolerant of multiculturalism. The focus must be on the two great men who are full of peace and love, and Caesar’s two good men, Will in the previous work and Malcolm in this work. . In fact, humans and apes in this film also face multiple opportunities for reconciliation. Fortunately, the script did not lead to the cliché plot of humans no zuo no die. Although there was a stunned thing, it was ape that led to war in the end, because of their inability to be in communion with humans. Apes are on the rise, human beings are declining, and advanced but declining civilizations cannot rely on the empty banner of pluralism to coexist peacefully with the ambitious rising civilization. Under such circumstances, you die if you do, and die if you don’t. In short, your luck is dead. In my opinion, this kind of compassion for the demise of mankind is a good focus, but the second third of the film focuses on Shakespeare's struggle for kingship.
At the end, Malcolm is still dreaming about peace, but Caesar, who has gone through the battle of the palace and finally overthrew the stale dogma of ape not to kill ape, sees through all this. He told Malcolm that war is inevitable. Perhaps it was at this special moment that Caesar, who had recovered from his naive illness, gave Malcolm's advice, and it was that apes' intellectual knowledge finally surpassed the footnote of human beings. On the next page, the earth will eventually become the planet of apes.
