man is also an animal

Today, I casually ordered a movie at home to watch "Rise of the Apes", and the online rating seems to be good. I haven't watched Planet of the Apes, so I don't know if it's in the same line. Young orangutans, once adopted by humans, have developed rapidly and have superior intelligence because they inherited the genes of the "smart drugs" injected by their mothers. Helplessly went astray, was locked in a cage, and was sent to the laboratory with his companions for animal experiments. The purpose was to study more powerful "smart drugs" to treat human cognitive degeneration, memory decline, similar to Alzheimer's disease . In fact, such drugs are only beneficial to animals and toxic to humans, but stupid humans don't know it. In the end, this smart orangutan stole the medicine, made his companions stronger, collectively resisted humans, and then returned to the natural redwood park.

There are a few things that impressed me about this movie. First, the original intention of human research on drugs is to delay aging and reduce mortality, which has the opposite effect. In the movie, the drug is toxic to the human body, and the male protagonist's father, who has Alzheimer's disease, took the drug after taking the drug. , although there is a brief improvement in cognitive ability in the short term, but the decline is more rapid. I have also seen doctors express such emotions on Weibo. In theory, birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of animal evolution, and the weak should be eliminated. However, the emergence of medical behavior has changed or even reversed this trend. Should it be? Some people will say that it is the doctor's duty to save lives and heal the wounded, and they can't think too much...

Second, the orangutan, who is actually a companion rather than a pet, is kept in the male protagonist's home. He often sits in the attic and looks at the children playing downstairs through the round window. But the male protagonist sent him to an adoption agency. Although he promised him that he would come back to see him, since then, he could only live in an iron cage. Before leaving, his desperate eyes made people worry. Why are humans so cruel? Lonely, holding small stones, he drew round windows on the wall, and the children's laughter appeared in his mind... When the man came to see him for the second time, he thought he would be taken away, but the result was Men still only promise: I will take you away, I promise! The heartbroken orangutan sadly returned to the cage and wiped the windows he had drawn on the wall. On the third time, when the man really came to lead him away, he just closed the door lightly and refused to leave. Are we treating animals as an appendage, a pet, or a true friend? If it is a friend, do you know that the other party needs us more than we need him? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still "the favored will always have no fear", we always ask for anything, thinking that what needs us will be there waiting for us, we can call and send at any time, but as long as the conscious person can't stand it for too long Wait, let alone an orangutan who understands human nature.

Third, the desire to be free is the nature of all animals, including humans. So any class that is oppressed and exploited will resist, whether it's orangutans resisting humans, or humans resisting humans. What's more, human beings also have animal nature, but they just obey the social system. Once they are suppressed to the point of being unable to survive, they can only use their primitive instincts. Guys, you understand...



Watching "MING" tonight, I mentioned that architects from various countries have designed works with animal buildings, such as buildings with bird's nests. Because humans are actually just one of the many animals on this planet, why do they think they are the rulers? In fact, the earth can carry more people to survive, but not in the current way of plundering. Hunting elephants for ivory, hunting whales for shark fins... Furs, decorations, and food in exchange for blood only decorate people's lives, but lead to the demise of other animals. Is this possible for long? Fortunately, people in other countries are starting to reflect, while the short-sighted Chinese are still seeking their own interests. It's a heavy-hearted topic. I don’t raise any animals myself, and I don’t have any particular preference for cats and dogs. However, when looking at this problem from a rational point of view, we must face it squarely. , we can only say that everything has a cause and an effect.

    The "prequel" in the true sense removes the concept of parallel universes and at the same time gets rid of the interference of topics such as fatalism. The theme is simpler, and it is a perfect match with the 68th edition! Hunting, "Bright Eyes", high-pressure water jets, mounted police... everywhere are reflections and tributes to that future. Caesar is too domineering! The sequel seems to be taking the route of the 20th century boy? Isn't there a thermonuclear war? ...In addition, I am longing for the red cedar tree...

    As a sci-fi movie, this movie is not bloody, and there is no disgusting scene. It is worthy of praise.
