Planet Of The Apes


This movie was yet the best movie I have ever seen in a while, it really makes me want to get the sequel to this movie. There is just so much I can write about this movie but Ill make this one short. This movie starts off with 4 astronomers in space. Something happens that makes them come straight down to a planet, they crash into this sea close to the dessert. Automatically one of them dies because of age, time in space is much shorter than it is on a planet. The rest of the three must abandoned ship before they get sunk in with it. They travel to find any sign of life, in their first time on a planet after a 20 century time period. Not sure of what they are going to find, they discover people stealing their clothe, when they were enjoying their discovery of a small water fall, they chase right after them, and they find more humans around a crop field, they soon find out that these humans aren't smart at all. Out of no where they hear a loud roar, all the humans start running as there were to be a stampede. The three astronomers do the same they start running, and they find out they were being hunted, by thats not what surprised them the most, the surprising thing was that they were being hunted by apes. In the end it comes down to the truth, one must find out the truth, this truth might not be truth the main character (Taylor) really wants to find out. The end has the greatest truth that made Taylor feel like there is no hope for the future.
This movie brings up many thought to my head like racism, evolution, and reality? First I think this movie had the message of racism, the director use his message in a good creative way, instead of making this movie with color people, he used it with a different species, for example the apes. The Apes wanting no human to learn more then they already know, they were basically our kind of animals, no communications skills and no thoughts of learning. When th apes found out that Taylor could talk, nobody wanted to believe that he was intelligent, they thought it was part of a scheme. I would bring this up back to the days before Martin Luther King Jr. , African Americans weren't allowed to do anything with the whites because according to the white they were to stupid or a waste of space. This movie showed that is was stupid to believe that one must be stupid if they are different than others, I really liked how this movie kind of sent of a message. Two, evolution is hugely brought up in this movie, according to the movie, humans destroyed the world with all the fighting, since then primates evolved to become better and smarter about life. I believe the reason why apes treated the humans like animals and not forced them not to learn anything more then they already know is because, if humans were to start learning and gain power, they might destroy the world all over again with their discovering of improved technology. Three, reality, i believe things like this may happen, I know it sounds crazy but once in our world, only animals were living on this earth, they were the ones that had complete power, then soon evolution came around and humans starting learning about new ways of improving life. So now here we are discovering many new things, we might just end the world before "global warming" destroys the world. After human life reducing to extinction, a new set of life is going to form, who knows maybe apes will evolve to be smarter than us about life, just like this movie Planet Of The Apes.
