This movie is the revolution of gorillas for humans, and humans inadvertently played the role of "God" in this farce. It was humans who created the gorillas with higher IQs, although this was not the original intention of humans.
Many European and American movies, especially science fiction movies, are full of a sense of doomsday. The earth and human beings are often destroyed, and the executioners who destroy human beings are roughly in the following categories: aliens, giant meteorites, robots, zombies, and the orangutan in this movie, and if the writer or director wishes, tigers, lions, elephants, or mice , can exterminate humans. These types of destructive factors are roughly divided into two categories, one is extraterrestrial threats, and the other is dangerous factors created by human beings themselves.
When you think about these types of films, when faced with extraterrestrial threats, humanity has always been on the same page, and ultimately triumphed at the cost of sacrifice. But when faced with the civilization created by human beings, human beings are often helpless. Perhaps the irony is here. Humans pretend to be the primates of all things and play the role of God, but they are destroyed by their own creation. Perhaps this means that there is only one outcome for human beings to play the role of God, and that is to take it upon themselves. perish.
Speaking of this movie, if the whole movie is connected in series, I have to say that the drug in the movie is really wonderful. It can make the gorilla evolve greatly, but it is fatal to humans. , and quite contagious. This wonderful point can be said to be the whim of the screenwriter. Although it is a bit unreasonable, science fiction is very unreasonable in the first place, so there is no need to delve into it.
The orangutan leader in the film has a very cool name: Caesar. From this point of view, it is not so much a chimpanzee's revolution against humans, but rather a struggle within humans, and of course, a struggle within gorillas. Orangutans are the experimental subjects of humans, because orangutans are weaker than humans, but if you look at history carefully, you will find that humans do terrible things to the weak. I am afraid that as a citizen of the upper kingdom of heaven, there is a history We can never forget it anyway. Such things as medical experiments are inherently dehumanizing, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is utilitarian. The interests of the majority at the expense of the disadvantaged minority may be the true meaning of this matter. Based on this, will humans stop experimenting with drugs? Of course not, so, what qualifications are there to evaluate human nature? That is to say, the medicines you and I take when we are sick today, and the healthy healing we have, are all based on the sacrifice of countless lives. Of course, maybe the mice and the orangutans are not life, they are just human dolls.
So I found that when people face things that they take for granted, the cruelty of human beings can be described as extremely calm and ruthless. If you take a closer look at the devastated orangutan at the end of the film, you may know that you may not care about its life or death. Once you think of it, the sacrifice of this orangutan may save thousands of lives, and the last hesitation in your heart is also It was replaced by some inexplicable sense of mission. Human beings often brainwash themselves, although we often say that we should not be brainwashed. When any individual is put into the system and a large group, the challenges to the individual will be automatically projected by ourselves to a system. challenges, which would then become unbearable. Think about it, human beings have done atrocities not only to animals, but also to plants. Think of World War II and the French Revolution, and you will think that those human atrocities towards humans will not be more merciful.
If orangutans can finally eliminate humans and become the masters of the earth, it is foreseeable that the civilization created by these orangutans will be a replica of human civilization. In fact, there is nothing new. And for this movie, why so many people think it's good, maybe it's based on an innate sense of race. We humans, when faced with aggression from aliens, become very united. At times like this, we will remember that we are a race, but if the foreign trouble disappears, I am afraid that the infighting will start again. And the orangutan may only be regarded as a microcosm of the inner race of human beings. It is not different from human beings at all. What more can we expect from an orangutan named Caesar who can speak English. It is foreseeable that the first civilization of orangutans must be a dictatorial civilization, because this orangutan is called Caesar.
But I have to say that when I watched this movie, I forsook myself as a human being. I think many people became "gorillas" when watching the movie and became fans of orangutans. When Caesar rode Do you feel the thrill of destruction when the black steed cries out like a human policeman? Whether at this time, this voice is ringing in your heart: Humans die, human beings, go play with your eggs! If you have this kind of thought, I regret to inform you that you are no different from the orangutan and the human in the film. In short, human is such a thing. The ability to think independently disappears the moment a creative and revolutionary leader is drawn to join the group involuntarily. I don't know if the original author has such a meaning. Unfortunately, I have not read the original book, but if the original author has such a meaning, I have to say that this is a very good science fiction work.
Why is there always something coming to destroy human civilization? Because if there is no foreign invasion, and some bad things made by human beings themselves, human beings will kill themselves sooner or later. The birth and decline of a civilization is dramatic, but at the same time it is taken for granted. A civilization that has developed to a certain level will surely decline, because the strength of this civilization is also brewing some kind of decadence. Back then, I jokingly said that if a civilization has evolved for thousands of years, then its culture will naturally be extremely rich and charming, but its negative darkness will inevitably be extremely filthy and disgusting. Think about it carefully. , whether such a culture exists, and whether the confinement in such a culture is much more secure than any other emerging culture, you will understand if you think about it carefully.
The civilization of orangutans will be born in this forest, and sooner or later, they will surpass human beings, but all of this actually does not matter, nor does it matter. If history is written in this way, it will be a matter of time before a new civilization emerges to replace the orangutan civilization. The decline of human beings is not necessarily a bad thing for the entire earth. On this planet, it is still very early for human beings to become the real masters.
So, let us rejoice to meet the end of mankind. After the apocalypse, a new civilization must be born. Although you and I cannot see it, the planet ruled by orangutans is not necessarily better or worse than the planet ruled by humans. Even if human beings have always ruled the earth, we can only speculate about what will happen after a thousand years, but cannot see it. The history on the human book has always been a cycle. In these alternating appearances of civilization and ignorance, human beings are advancing slowly, but perhaps human beings should pay attention to never challenge the bottom line of nature and God, because if the orangutan rules After the earth, the people who are locked in a cage and injected with drugs tomorrow are likely to be you and me.
