In the end I became you

There are several details in the whole film that are really intriguing:

the army of the apes marched to the human base to demonstrate. On the left side of the screen is the human base. The entire building area resembles the lost city in the sky in Hayao Miyazaki's animation. The classical European-style buildings are covered with ivy, and the statues of angels and the Virgin on the high round arches stare down with compassion. The haggard and nervous human beings crowded under the arches and looked around, their clothes were dark and old, which made the vigilant look on their faces even more weak and desperate... The background on the right side of the picture is the abandoned city of Los Angeles, with high-rise buildings, but they are also covered with Plants show the dilapidated nature and wild nature of the post-industrial age; while the ape race rides on a black high-headed horse and is aggressive...

At this time, the male protagonist pushes away the crowd, as if bewitched and like a curious child. , fixed his eyes on this seemingly murderous alien, and walked out step by step towards Caesar, his eyes were dazed and shocked by the unknown, but there was no timidity at all - at this time, his image was different, with a white cotton upper body. Quality top, light-colored trousers. In this composition, both humans and apes are in dark tones, while the male protagonist is the only bright color, connecting the two ends of the isolated confrontation step by step. The tense atmosphere was eased because of this...

The composition of this scene is excellent, and after watching the whole film, this scene is deeply imprinted in my mind; it implies that Malcolm represents the active kindness of human beings, and Caesar is an ape The ethnic side can understand and accept the existence of human kindness. But most of the dark tones behind the two sides are also destined to be weak and difficult to change the gap between the two ethnic groups.
The whole play continues to interpret [NO ZUO NO DIE WHY YOU TRY ~YOU TRY YOU DIE THAT IS WHY]. However, compared to the line in the play that [Koba and Beaver cannot get rid of the hatred] that caused the two sides to go to war, the author is more inclined to believe that between two intelligent civilizations, war will definitely break out, regardless of human nature. Or ape. In Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", such an inference is given.
According to the chain of suspicion in "Three-Body Problem" -
a civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization, and
a civilization cannot judge whether another civilization thinks this civilization is good civilization or evil civilization
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization will attack this civilization
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is benevolent or malicious to itself
A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization thinks it is benign or malicious
A civilization cannot judge another civilization judges itself Is it kind or malicious to her
...

As long as one race discovers another race, due to the possibility of technological explosion, the stronger party will inevitably be suspicious and vigilant of the other party, and will use all its strength to strangle it in the cradle, Prevent yourself from being destroyed. Not to mention the ape family who know how to operate arms and have far more force than humans.

For the energy supply of the base, the male protagonist Malcolm resolutely decided to go back to communicate with the ape. When Malcolm was brought back to the ape territory, Caesar climbed the high stone platform to stare at his subjects and this uninvited guest. On the stone platform, there was a picture of the window of the attic where Caesar lived in the first book. , Caesar stood on the sign of the memory of himself and the human, overlooking the human below. Caesar has always had feelings for the [enemy]. This feels like the reformists and the revolutionaries, the reformists feel that they can learn from it, while the revolutionists insist that the two are always... An internal split will come sooner or later.

However, such a split is actually regarded as the only way for the rise of the ape tribe. The further back, the more humanized actions Caesar and Koba took, using English [inexplicable joy...] instead of the sign language of the ape tribe, and using human political thinking to command their subordinates... There is one detail that can be seen : Caesar led the generals to fight Koba to the death. When they walked through the subway gate, Caesar walked upright and pushed the gate open, while the other orangutans jumped up and down or climbed over. From the very beginning, Caesar possessed leadership qualities such as tolerance, rationality, and love for the people.

But the funny thing is that most of the apes hate humans and are hostile to humans, a typical representative of Coba. But in the process of evolution, it is becoming more and more human-like, and the more human-like it is, the stronger it seems. Before you know it, the apes are just imitating humans. But will this kind of imitation become a limiting factor for the ape family in the end? Will it become a weakness in the war between apes and humans? As the saying goes, don't fight an idiot, he will pull you to the level of an idiot and beat you with rich experience. When the spirituality of the orangutan becomes human, when the rule of benevolence becomes the rule of art, the orangutan can surpass human beings, what else is there?

    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~

    Human, not as good as Caesar thought, and not as bad as Koba thought
