The film mainly discusses the conflict between humans and technological evolution, and people are shocked when they watch the movie, whether we still have to experiment on various animals to achieve the purpose we want. Balancing the relationship between technology and human beings is a problem we need to think about. The first part mainly tells about the genetic scientist Will, in order to treat his father's Alzheimer's disease, he experimented on a gorilla to obtain a drug. When the drug was used on the gorilla, the gorilla would improve its intelligence and its eyes would change. green. Unfortunately, the effect of the drug was not stable, causing the research project to stop, and the experimental orangutans were euthanized one by one. But Will finally decided to adopt the little orangutan born after the successful experiment and named it Caesar. It lived happily in this family. Because of its high IQ, he learned sign language and various knowledge, and gradually became familiar with it. and understanding of the human way of life. Later, because his father's illness became more serious, Will secretly brought drugs from the company to inject his father, but it didn't last long, and his condition relapsed. In a farce, Caesar bit off his neighbor's finger and was sent to a nursing home. In the nursing home, he gradually understood the way of life of the orangutans and their disunity. In addition, they were treated indifferently by humans. They checked the terrain everywhere, and took the method of destroying the orangutans one by one, so that the orangutans could unite. For this reason, Caesar also escaped from the nursing home, returned home and took the medicine, which made the orangutan become smart overnight, and a war was about to break out. On the other side, Will developed a new drug due to his father's illness, which kept acting on the orangutan and achieved good results. I don't want to, a disaster is coming. This drug that can quickly improve the intelligence of the orangutan, It is extremely harmful to human beings. Caesar led the orangutans in the nursing home to escape from the nursing home, came to the genetic research company to release the experimental orangutans, came to the zoo to release the orangutans, and led everyone back to the forest with wisdom. In the process, it shows the helplessness and loss of human beings in the face of high-IQ orangutans. One of the most classic scenes in this movie is the scene when Caesar says "NO", which is not only the beginning of the orangutan's speech, but also the beginning of the competition with humans. This film has a huge success. The gorillas in the film are extremely real, and their demeanor and actions are impeccable, which will make people feel very real and shocking. And this film has left a lot of thought, and can't help but reflect on whether we are doing something wrong, and whether we should experiment on animals to fight the virus in the body, although the starting point is excellent.
