      Conquest of the Planet of the Apes: Caesar's Awakening

      If one day, some kind of plague from outer space took the lives of all dogs and cats on Earth, but fortunately humans and other primates are immune to the virus. If so, I don't know how pet lovers will choose. Maybe it has little impact on raising birds and lizards, but those who like to raise mammals, will they consider monkeys or gorillas? That's what people did in 1972's Conquest of the Planet of...

      Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

      Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) In the first episode of Conquest of the Apes, the ape couple was ultimately unable to escape the hands of humans, but their child, Caesar, was under the protection of the kind-hearted circus owner Ricardo Montalban. Growing up, in 1983, a virus from outer space made cats and dogs extinct. Humans began to use talking orangutans as pets, but their experiences were much worse than cats and dogs. In 1991, under the leadership of Kaiser, increasingly The...

      The Conquest of the Planet of the Apes

      "When there is war, there will be smoke of gunpowder, and from now on, my subjects will crouch in the smoke of gunpowder, and work together to plan the day when mankind will inevitably be destroyed. On that day he will finally bring his weapons to his own kind. One day the sky will bear witness, your cities will be buried under the ground with radioactive rubble, the sea will become the Dead Sea, the earth will become a desert. I will lead my subjects to freedom, and we will build our own...

      Conquest of the Planet of the Apes: A prairie fire

      This is the fourth installment in the Planet of the Apes series.

      The sequel took so much. The director still has stories to tell, which I admire.

      The story of this episode tells the story of how the last chimpanzees began to fight against humans and conduct armed confrontation. The continuity of the story is good, following the story of the previous episode. However, the film is too bland, and does not bring us some enlightenment and reflection like the first three films....

      Be kind to others, be kind to yourself.

      There are no natural rebels, only unjust antagonists. Human society itself created the ape revolution, overthrowing itself from the position of ruler.
      The contradiction with the previous part is that the alien ape ancestors have been painstakingly eliminated before, and now they have begun to raise a large number of terrestrial orangutans as pets, and have also developed a large number of breeding and training into slaves. In addition to the contradiction, I personally think this episode...

      The fourth part is similar to the 11-year Rise of the Planet of the Apes 1, which tells the rise of the orangutan and the decline of mankind. Throughout the story line, cats and dogs disappeared due to viruses, orangutans became human pets and slaves, and eventually revolted and resisted, as mentioned above. Combined with the assassination of Martin Luther King, the movie is a future society with strict hierarchies. MacDonald, a black character, expresses sympathy for the bullying of orangutans...

      Due to the reasons of the times, the lack of special effects will not be discussed. As far as the plot is concerned, I really didn't expect that it would become out of control in the end. Of course, compared with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", the setting of slavery can stimulate more resistance factors, and it also directly solves the problem of resisting the number of orangutans. Other settings are still somewhat unsatisfactory in...

    Movie quotes

    • Woman: [referring to cigarettes] Funny, now that I know these things won't kill me, I don't enjoy them.

    • MacDonald: Caesar... Caesar! This is not how it was meant to be.

      Caesar: In your view or mine?

      MacDonald: Violence prolongs hate, hate prolongs violence. By what right are you spilling blood?

      Caesar: By the slave's right to punish his persecutor.

      MacDonald: I, a descendant of slaves, am asking you to show humanity.

      Caesar: But, I was not born human.

      MacDonald: I know. The child of the evolved apes.

      Caesar: Whose children shall rule the earth.

      MacDonald: For better or for worse?

      Caesar: Do you think it could be worse?

      MacDonald: Do you think this riot will win freedom for all your people? By tomorrow...

      Caesar: By tomorrow it will be too late. Why a tiny, mindless insect like the emperor moth can communicate with another over a distance of 80 miles...

      MacDonald: An emperor ape might do slightly better?

      Caesar: Slightly? What you have seen here today, apes on the 5 continents will be imitating tomorrow.

      MacDonald: With knives against guns? With kerosene cans against flamethrowers?

      Caesar: Where there is fire, there is smoke. And in that smoke, from this day forward, my people will crouch and conspire and plot and plan for the inevitable day of Man's downfall - the day when he finally and self-destructively turns his weapons against his own kind. The day of the writing in the sky, when your cities lie buried under radioactive rubble! When the sea is a dead sea, and the land is a wasteland out of which I will lead my people from their captivity! And we will build our own cities in which there will be no place for humans except to serve our ends! And we shall found our own armies, our own religion, our own dynasty! And that day is upon you... now!
