Been looking forward to the third installment, the first two had some impressive scenes. At the beginning of the film, Caesar won his first victory with the colonel, but he wanted to end the war with complete mercy. Often, after one extreme idea was hit, it was easy to go to the other extreme. The blow came quickly, and the colonel infiltrated the ape base camp and killed Caesar's wife and his eldest son. No matter how smart and rational he is, this is a sensitive bottom line, so he starts the road of revenge. There are not many plans for this road of revenge, some of which are the hatred of killing his wife and son, so Caesar began to make mistakes, lost his brother in order to save him, and let the entire ape tribe be captured. The cute little girl he met on the road and the figure of Koba kept appearing alternately, implying his tangled heart. Caesar became more and more like Coba, blinded by hatred, until he was captured, after which the colonel gave him a vivid lesson, pointing out that Caesar was too emotional and lost his purpose, and told the story of the colonel, For the survival of mankind, he killed his sick son. This is the colonel's creed. In the end, the colonel became ill. Caesar did not kill him. Caesar found himself, and the colonel committed suicide to maintain his creed. In this series, Caesar calms down and thinks, and finally unites with the apes to escape from the concentration camp. Caesar was also injured in order to save the large army, and finally died quietly when he arrived at the destination. So far, Caesar's road of redemption has ended, not only saving the fate of the ape, but also completing self-salvation. A particularly profound scene in the film is the dialogue between Caesar and the donkey. The donkey said that he could escape after the war, but Caesar asked him, what else do you have? The donkey was stunned. Yes, what matters after a disaster is not what is taken, but what is left. In the film, I like the little girl who smiles like a warm sunflower. She is full of this love. At the moment when she smiles, there is no racial divide, because that is love...
