the way to grow

It is said that the IQ of orangutans is almost the same as that of humans. This may be a fact that humans, who claim to be higher animals, do not want to accept. However, when everything is possible today, when the IQ of orangutans surpasses that of humans, "Planet of the Apes" is no longer science fiction. The recently released "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", as a prequel to "Planet of the Apes" ten years ago, focuses on the growth experience of the orangutan Caesar, and reflects on human beings, nature, technology, and the world with shocking and exquisite footage. The relationship between.

The world of windows, the warmth of home,

but all living beings always look forward to warmth and love. In the ancient "The Legend of the White Snake", the white snake who has practiced for thousands of years is willing to give up the hard-won practice only to repay the kindness of the little book boy Xu Xian who saved her back then. Nowadays, the warmth between people and animals is often on the screen, "Guide Dog Little Q", "Duma", "Marx, My Love", "King Kong" are countless, and the affection is eternal. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is no exception. Caesar, a little ape who lost his mother at birth, was brought home by biochemical researcher Will. The amiable Will and Will's dad are his first memories of opening his eyes to see the world. Will carefully bathes and nurses little Caesar, and carefully designs the attic as Caesar's special nest. The mischievous and clever Caesar, even if he steals a cookie, has to entertain himself and show off his unique talent. Everything is so cozy. However, after playing, little Caesar stood in the attic and looked out the window. Seeing the neighbors' children riding bicycles and playing together, the sunshine outside the window was so warm, and he began to yearn for the outside world. I thought it was as beautiful outside the window as at home.
It was not until one day that little Caesar, who secretly ran out to ride the bicycle of a neighbor child and was beaten by the neighbor, realized that he was different from other children, although Will and Will's father took great care of him. The injured little Caesar was sitting in the stroller, and peeking at the passers-by in the park were also playing with their little babies. When his father's father was scolded and humiliated by the neighbors because of Alzheimer's disease, little Caesar, who was standing by the window, couldn't bear it anymore and fought with the neighbors. So he was locked in an iron cage. He always expected Will to take him home sooner, so he painted the window in the attic with stones on the cold wall, snuggled up, and reminisced about the warmth of home. Even if he later led the orangutans to escape the sequoia forest in what he thought was Xanadu, he would draw that window on the traffic sign, which was his hometown. The ends of the earth, just for the warmth of home. If Caesar lived in China, looked up at the bright moon, lowered his head and thought of his hometown; when the sun sets, the poems such as the heartbroken man in the end of the world will probably blurt out.


The cruelty of reality, the price

of growth Everyone's growth always has to pay a price. For Caesar, reality and growth are the pleadings when locked in an iron cage and using pleading eyes to type "take me home" (take me home) to Will in sign language. The distance between the words "Caesar is home" (Caesar is home) in his ear. And it all starts with Will taking Caesar to Sequoia Forest Park for the first time. At that time, Caesar, who had just shuttled through the woods and looked at the United States from the trees, walked out of the park excitedly, but found that the dog also had a collar similar to his own, and Will also had a rope in his hand. He was vaguely uneasy, but Will told him you're not a pet, I'm your father. But confusion and humiliation arose spontaneously. Will took him to Gene, and he knew his story. However, when he encountered difficulties in the iron cage, he still wanted to go home. After Will came to see him for the second time, he still couldn't bring him home. Disappointed, he tried his best to erase the windows on the wall, and the home no longer existed. .
So he began to rely on his own ingenuity to form a team, and began to resist the endless humiliation of the administrator. For the first time, he said "NO" to lead the orangutans to destroy the gene company, rescue the same kind of test products, counterattack the arrogant humans, and rush to the red. Fighting with the police on the way to Sugi Forest Park.... Human beings foolishly use their only cognition to fight the chimpanzee whose IQ has surpassed that of human beings, while the chimpanzee interprets the human nature's desire for freedom and the resistance to the brutal power on the screen. Caesar on the Golden Gate Bridge confronts violence with precision and speed, and knows how to control his behavior and how to achieve his goals. Everywhere shows the demeanor of a leader. To a certain extent, Caesar is the incarnation of the underdog who is also helpless, bound and eager to subvert the dreams of real people. In the classic Hollywood narrative mode, the orangutan Caesar is undoubtedly the most dazzling star in the film. This lifelike orangutan who has no lines and relies on light green eyes, rich expressions and body shapes to express his heart has attracted a lot of attention




.

human curiosity. Andy Serkis, who played "Gollum" in "Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong" in "King Kong", played Caesar. He gave Caesar the soul of humanity with his superb performance. Technically, it continues the Weta digital and live motion capture technology in "Avatar". The actors who played the orangutans wore special tights, and multiple fixed cameras captured their dynamic information from all directions and angles. At the same time, a green dot symbol is placed on the main facial expression muscles, and a special hat is worn. The miniature camera set up on the hat records in detail all the subtle changes in facial expressions during the performance. It is understood that this technology can transmit up to 95% of the actor's body performance and facial expression information. With sophisticated post-production, the realistic imaging effect is born. Even many viewers cannot distinguish the interaction between the actor and the virtual character orangutan.
When we talked about this visual feast, and when we enjoyed the convenience brought by technology, disasters followed one after another. Technology is becoming more and more like a double-edged sword. How to use science and technology in a proper way is a proposition that cannot be ignored in human development. In the days when the earth's population exceeded 7 billion, the most valuable part of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" involving the theory of genes and species evolution is the reflection of human beings on their own development. As a biochemical researcher, Will refuses to accept the reality of his father's aging, such as Alzheimer's, and crazy research 112's upgrade 113, hoping to use science to retain his father. As the owner of the gene company, the reason why he recklessly invested in 113's research and development work is due to the nature of greed for money. There may even be a situation where other species will one day replace humans to rule the earth. Maybe we humans are just a newborn in the endless technological world. As said in the film, no one can control the development of things. It's time to sit still and think, and position ourselves well for our race - human beings.

    It was originally a cause that was planted by humans, and it is necessary to bear the corresponding consequences. With so many brutal and inhuman experiments on the orangutans, the final resistance of the orangutans is normal.

    Drawing lessons from the creativity of episodes 3 and 4 of the "old version of Planet of the Apes", it has been modified into a prequel to the 2001 version, and a brand new "Planet of the Apes" series will be created. On the one hand, it conveys the allegorical nature of "bigger than life" that "medicine can save people, but it can suppress them." It can be free when it is no longer a thing created by the creator, but becomes the creator himself.
