Marvel, DC, Fox, Sony and other major companies are shooting superhero independent movies in full swing, and now Fox is finally turning its attention to "Journey to the West" and bringing Monkey King's independent movies to the big screen:
"Planet of the Apes: Ape Force Awakening", also known as "You from the Planet of the Apes" and "Orcs Never Slaves".
Don't ask me why there is no Tang monk, even the white dragon horse was robbed, and most of the Tang monks were killed and eaten by him.
In addition, the temperature continued to rise across the country, reaching as high as 40 degrees in some areas, which directly tanned Sun Wukong and Bai Longma.
Please see the detailed report below:
After humans were infected with bird flu and swine flu by eating chicken and pork, Cantonese people's behavior of eating monkey brains led to the outbreak of monkey flu.
According to this rule, the next large-scale epidemic that mankind will face will be Fujianese flu, or even alien flu.
Fifteen years later, there are very few surviving humans, and some of them live in the colonel's barracks and eat the colonel's chicken nuggets every day for a living.
And the ape leader Caesar led his companions to hide in the "Big Monkey Mountain",
("Hello everyone, I'm Luhan" is "Big Monkey Mountain")
Also known as "Saurus Mountain",
Their daily ration is finger-sucking ape-flavored chicken.
They take retreat as advance, and their purpose is to defeat human beings and occupy the earth in the future. Since then, "gorillas are as numerous as dogs, and monkeys are everywhere." From now on, this will be the world of monkeys. If you want to see monkeys, you will no longer have to go to the zoo.
One day, Caesar captured a group of soldiers. It turned out that they heard that Caesar had a hidden command base, but they couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
In fact, history is always strikingly similar. Once every September, US military satellites would also find that millions of mysterious troops suddenly appeared in China, and then disappeared mysteriously after half a month, and hundreds of millions of funds were invested in military research. what a useful thing.
Caesar let them go out of mercy, and told them to tell the colonel that he had come for peace. If you love peace so much, let's call you ape peace.
Soon after, Ape Peace's eldest son, Blue Eyes
And the rocket (return capsule) ended the exploration of the new home and returned to the Great Monkey Mountain.
(Rocket is the name of an orangutan)
Since the sample brought back by Blue Eyes is a handful of sand, we can guess that he has just taken a rocket to Mars. (error)
Just when everyone was discussing whether to leave tonight, the Green Lantern Corps suddenly appeared. (error)
It turned out that the colonel made a comeback, sneaked into the water curtain cave, killed the wife and eldest son of Saru Heping, and then kicked Saru Heping into Saruquan, but he escaped.
Ape Peace was furious, and Ape Power was awakened, so he had to proclaim himself the President. Combined with the name of "Caesar", he changed his name to Ape Shikai, in an attempt to start a war on the Planet of the Apes.
(Andy Serkis plays Snoke, the supreme leader of the First Order in "Star Wars 7")
But before that, he ordered his fellow clan to go to the new home, and he himself went to make the colonel into colonel chicken nuggets to take revenge.
Maurice was also with him. It seemed that he should have eaten all the plates when he went to the buffet. It was not a waste at all.
And monkeys like Luke (Skywalker).
(Luke is the name of an orangutan)
On the way, they met a girl named Arnold Schwarzenegger, referred to as Nova.
This old drama bone is familiar with the law of "the villain died of too much talk since ancient times", so he didn't say a word from beginning to end, so he successfully survived after the demise of mankind. So knowledge is power.
Then Saru Shikai and the other monkeys encountered a bad monkey (played by Song Xiaobao) who robbed them of their horses. Saru Shikai chased after them and drove the bad monkey to a dead end. The latter had to take off his clothes and apologize.
The next day, Luke gave Nova a flower.
The subtext is:
Then the human kicked the bowl of dog food just in time and killed Luke.
Even Luke is dead, this "Star Wars" can't be made, only "Planet of the Apes" can be made.
Before Luke died, Nova returned the flowers to him.
Later, Saru Shikai was also captured by humans, and what was more serious was that he found that all his fellow clansmen who went to his new home were captured by the colonel. With winter approaching, the Colonel ordered the Ape Clan to build the Wall to defend against the White Walkers.
He didn't kill Saru Shikai, but to take advantage of him and let him order his fellow clan to work hard.
But Saru Shikai was still tortured to the death. At the critical moment, Nova transformed into Saru Longping, and risked his death to bring him rations, so that his life could continue.
And the bad monkey is not idle here. As a rescue soldier sent by the monkey, he has watched a series of excellent film and television works such as "Tunnel Warfare", "Manchester by the Sea", "Prison Break" and "The Shawshank Redemption", but unfortunately they have no substance. sexual gain. In the end, it was only after watching more than 20 love action movies in one night that I was deeply inspired, turned into a sewer worker, and dug a tunnel to rescue all my family members.
But Saru Shikai didn't have time to escape, because the Colonel was performing magic tricks for him at this time.
The colonel skillfully turned himself into a mentally handicapped man, but as a mentally handicapped he forgot how to speak and could not come back.
Another group of humans rushed to the barracks and fought with the humans in the barracks. They were all non-staff members of the "Association for the Protection of Animals", and they thoughtfully waited until all the ape tribes except Caesar had evacuated the barracks before firing.
Next, Saru Shikai detonated an ape bullet that blew up the military camp and caused an avalanche, killing all humans except Nova, while the ape and Nova climbed to the tree to escape and won the final victory.
Ah, Caesar, you are so handsome, I will give you monkeys!
Seeing that Caesar still relies on gunpowder, one of the four great inventions, to defeat human beings, a sense of national pride arises spontaneously, and the red scarf on my chest is even brighter.
At the end of the story, Ape Shikai led the Ape Tribe to start a 25,000-mile Long March and came to a new home. He unified the earth and changed his name to the First Emperor of the Apes again.
The sequel can tell that he burned books and pit monkeys, cast twelve golden monkeys, invented finger-sucking ape-flavored chicken, established "Bad Monkey Films", wrote "King Kong Sutra", filmed "King Kong: Skull Island", "King Kong Gourd Baby", "King Kong" "Wolf", "Transformers", "Iron King Kong" and other movies... According to this line of thinking, this series can also make seven or eighty episodes.
------------------------- film review ------------------------- ---
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3" is significantly different from ordinary visual effects blockbusters. It is reflected in the fact that the plot and lines are very subtle, and even a bit literary. As a result, the theme expressed by the film will be more connotative and abstract, which will also lead to polarized word-of-mouth. Differentiation, people who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it feel very boring and bland. After all, you think this movie is very meaningful, but other people may not have the same feeling.
It is precisely because the film is not straightforward at all, so there is a huge room for interpretation, and any intentional or unintentional detail can make the audience think deeply.
The first thing I want to say is that the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trilogy pays great attention to the shaping of the characters. The third part, which was released after a lapse of 6 years, has made significant progress compared with the first part. The expressions of each orangutan, Actions, lines, and thoughts are all very delicate, giving the audience the feeling that they are real, and it is easy to be brought into it.
We no longer just regard them as fabricated and fictitious characters in film and television works, but subconsciously think that this is a real story, and we are the bystanders, and every action in the film will also cause our emotions to fluctuate.
When Caesar was about to go alone, and Colonel Bloodblade avenged his revenge, we wanted to persuade him to let go of his personal grievances and migrate to a new home with the ape tribe;
Caesar and the ape tribe fell apart, and our hearts were full of mixed feelings, and we were very worried;
We feel sympathy and sadness when orangutans are forced into hard labor;
Nova risked his life to bring water and food to Caesar, we will be moved;
Maurice finally evolved, and when he was able to speak, the tears couldn't stop instantly...
In fact, as the leader of the ape clan, Caesar's choices are not necessarily all right. It is this that makes it appear real, otherwise it will give people the feeling of "opening a plug-in", "the protagonist's halo is obvious", and "the screenwriter is too partial". Leaders in history have always had mixed praise and criticism, enlightened such as Tang Taizong will gradually become evil and outspoken, cruel such as Qin Shihuang will strictly enforce the law, no one is perfect, and no one is useless, let alone a gorilla.
Caesar's thought that he always repays his grievances with virtue and hopes to live in peace with humans may be wrong. It may also be wrong to ignore the fate of the ape family in order to kill the colonel to avenge, but the historical process is promoted by many factors, and good things may be in the future. It turns into a bad thing, and a bad thing may turn into a good thing in the future. No one knows whether a thing is right or wrong in the long history, and what role it plays. It is the countless right and wrong in history that have made the world what it is today.
As the saying goes, "History is written by the victors", there is no right or wrong in war, and everything is guided by the end.
Whether Caesar is merciful or sensible enough, these are not the key, the key is whether the ape race defeated the human beings under its leadership, or was eliminated by the human beings.
As long as the ape race won the final victory, from this point of view, everything Caesar did was right. After all, changing leaders might not be better than him.
For example, Koba in the second part, compared with the benevolent Caesar, is ruthless and bent on killing all humans. On the surface, it was more suitable to be a leader, but as a result, the ape tribe was almost destroyed.
With the constantly mature technology, coupled with the performance of Andy Serkis, Caesar's realism has been quite impressive, even overshadowing the human halo. So much so that in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3", we clearly know that humans are actors, and Caesar is like a real character.
Here, it is necessary to introduce Andy Serkis, who is called "the first person in motion capture".
On April 20, 1964, Andy Serkis was born in London, England, and studied at the Department of Visual Arts at Lancaster University.
At the beginning of this century, "The Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson asked him to dub Gollum, but Andy Serkis proposed to play the role himself through motion capture technology. The film company overcame many difficulties to complete this arduous task. It sparked a film revolution.
Since then, motion capture technology has been widely used in film shooting, which not only improves the efficiency of CG production, but more importantly, makes the characters more vivid. Andy Serkis also became the first superstar in motion capture history with the role of Gollum.
Next, Andy Serkis relied on motion capture technology to play King Kong in the 2005 version of "King Kong", Caesar in the 2011-2017 "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trilogy, and 2012-2014 "The Hobbit" three Gulu of Qu, and Snoke, the supreme leader of the First Order in "Star Wars 7" in 2015.
Andy Serkis is credited with the success of these roles and films.
Playing Gollum, King Kong, and Caesar is also a kind of makeup. This is not a dubbing or a stand-in, but a genuine performance. So that every year, many fans call on film festivals and academies to send Andy Serkis awards.
Andy Serkis is not alone in the rave reviews of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series. All three films rose from the popcorn movies to the heights of race, rights, and freedom.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is by no means a simple war between humans and apes, and both human and ape camps have complex factions. For example, in the second part, humans have Decepticons and Autobots, and apes also have Decepticons and Autobots.
In the third part, the ape tribe finally united, but human beings were divided into two camps: the colonel and the northerners. The colonel wanted to kill all the ape flu patients, but the northerners were divided...
If the first is still very close to life and is an ordinary sci-fi film, then the second and third are completely fictional and historically fictional dystopian sci-fi films, similar to "The Hunger Games", "Maze Runner" and "Divergent". This kind of sci-fi film that is out of reality and completely fabricated background and setting can easily make the audience feel fake, but the worldview of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trilogy is undoubtedly very well constructed.
Speaking of the theme of freedom, the episode where Bad Monkey digs tunnels is an obvious nod to The Shawshank Redemption.
The scene of the apes cheering in the tree is exactly the same as the scene of Andy embracing freedom in the rain.
It is even reminiscent of "Freedom!" shouted by China Lacey in "Braveheart"
From all angles, the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trilogy is one of the best series of movies in recent years.
