During Chinese New Year, I watched Part 1.2 with my sister, and I watched the ending last weekend. Part 1 and Part 3 were okay, Part 2 was ugly. "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is actually about how Caesar became a king and how he managed his ape kingdom. The "character" of Caesar has been portrayed too much, and I think it is too limited. The most impressive is the first one, where Caesar led many orangutans from The scene of the city returning to the forest, and the joyous scene with little Caesar and the director. Each film has a human protagonist, with whom Caesar has established a family or friendship, he is an intelligent orangutan, no different from a human, but The film only tells that he has grown the team of orangutans and taught them to stay away from humans. Is it possible to teach them to speak too? What will happen to the orangutans when he dies?
