Ape Peace

The theme of the first part is racial freedom, with human wisdom, the apes who have lived freely since childhood must take their own race back to the forest. And the transgenic experiment gave them enough wisdom and strength.

The second theme is peace. Humans are as weak as apes, how should the two get along? In the first film, the monkey escapes into the forest, where the war ends, and in the second film, friendship and revenge are two-tones of the film. Kaba and the Gorilla King, one hopes for revenge, the other hopes for peace, and the motivation for this peace is the price of friendship and war with the master. Revenge is the hatred of the past, as well as the suspicion and revenge of some human beings.
The story is okay. Humans have wars, and so do orangutans. Both sides are not afraid of each other, and they also have their own weaknesses. In the first part, the family relationship between people, the friendship between people and animals, and mutual respect were destroyed again in the second part because of suspicion and incomprehension. An assistant can't convince the coach, he can only rebel.
The rhythm of the story is not good enough. The gorilla king is always bitter and bitter, and lacks a cheerful rhythm. From the beginning to the end, there are two lines of tension, but there is a lack of waves, human peace talks, Kaba's rebellion, and the rebirth of the gorilla king. , the arrival of peace at last. All I can say is that the leaders on both sides were unable to arm their own people to form a powerful army, a group of refugees that were completely disorganized and undisciplined. The two sides could not agree on the issue of war or peace.
In short, all the details of the first film are coherent, and the mental journey of an orangutan was filmed. The second film is relatively mediocre. There is no protagonist. As two groups of people, they cannot become the protagonists of American movies. All characters are generalized.

    It's a bit weaker than the first one. The court battle of the Apes dynasty, this plot is already familiar in Western Shakespeare or in Chinese classical martial arts dramas. Human beings are pure soy sauce, and orangutans are irrevocably moving towards vulgarity...

    The apes have liberated their forelimbs and learned to ride horses and shoot, which is not terrible. The scary thing is that when they also start to become as intrigued as humans, the most shocking thing is to learn to kill the same kind. Such a red dawn is a nightmare that humans cannot bear. Shakespeare’s drama is really an inexhaustible source of inspiration~
