Just by looking at the poster, you may be hard-pressed to imagine what kind of story this will be. The propaganda in the early stage of the film is not strong, and it may only make people subconsciously associate it with "King Kong". In fact, the film is a prequel film based on 1999's Planet of the Apes. But if you know a little about the "Apes" film series, you will find the biggest difference between this film and the previous "Planet of the Apes" series - no longer focusing on violence and fighting, but turning to Kindness route.
With the changes of society and times, the themes explored in the "Planet of the Apes" series have also changed. From the earlier issues of racial discrimination and social hierarchy, to today's exploration and reflection on the relationship between humans and animals, technology and nature. The film cuts in from the clues of medical experiments with chimpanzees, and first puts forward the point of view that "animals also have feelings" and makes it the key to the development of the story. After the orangutan Caesar with medicinal genes was born, he was brought home to raise by Will, who developed the drug. In the shelter, Caesar's IQ beyond ordinary people made it successful to "get" all the other apes, and became their leader and led them to launch a life-and-death struggle with humans. In this war, the wicked will naturally fail in the end, and the behavioral philosophy of domination, confrontation, etc. reflected in the process seems to be ironic to imply that human beings—even animals are Unity to seize power for their own living space, how should people face the situation that their environment is infinitely destroyed by themselves? Desperately experimenting with animals is also a reminder of the importance of animal protection and animal rights. The boss of medicine wages, who only wants to blindly pursue economic interests, can only use his ignorance and greed to exchange for global hidden dangers.
In the film, except for Caesar, which was created by a real person in the studio after motion capture and the digital scene created by the special effects team, the rest were produced by computer CG technology. The success of this combination of real scene framing, and then motion capture was a technological leap after Avatar.
Behind the excellent pictures and compact plot, the director still can't forget to add some details to promote the power of faith and love to people, to warn people not to indulge in the superiority of being a human being, and at the same time to be kind to animals - be kind to animals Animals with flesh, flesh and feelings just like us, only in this way can we balance the relationship between man and nature, otherwise we will eventually be punished terribly and even fatally.
