pitiful before hateful

When the human nature chapter
arrived in this movie, there was a paragraph that kept flashing in my mind, it was the paragraph that Nick's father said to him in "The Great Gatsby".
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
Well, so the beginning of the hateful is still pitiful.

Caesar is really a perfect leader. He has a long-term vision and is not impatient. He calls for peace, but upholds the concept of "If a person commits a crime, I will commit him." He demanded that "apes do not kill apes". We can do this out of love and responsibility for our ape brothers and sisters.
And Koba, because of Caesar's life-saving grace, loves and appreciates Caesar. This should be the only life he has ever sincerely treated, but after not being trusted by Caesar, he shot Caesar into anger and killed Caesar by creating human beings among the apes. Rumors of usurping the position of the leader of the apes, launching wars, attacking humans, killing and imprisoning all those who do not obey themselves, no matter whether it is a human being or an ape, wherever they go, there are gunshots and blood everywhere.

Everyone loves Caesar and hates Coba, but if Coba grew up in an environment like Caesar, how could he be so violent. As a senior said, when a person is loved, he will naturally love others, just like when you hear a good song, you want to share it, that is nature. Since birth, Koba has been caged, injected with various reagents and given various electric shocks in the laboratory. No one has ever loved him, how did he learn to care, forgive, and tolerate?

So going back to Nick's father, those people who you find unreasonable are often less fortunate than you. This kind of luck does not necessarily mean being born with a golden spoon, there are many indescribable things, such as a warm, safe and trustworthy environment. Grandma Geng, who used to have abnormal psychology, always said impassively that people are not prisoners of genes and environment. However, genes and environment always shape the way you see the world.

At the end of the movie, Caesar held Coba, who was about to fall off the tower, in his hand, and chose to let go when Coba begged, "Apes don't kill apes". He said to Koba, who fell from the sky, you are not fit to be an ape. This is the author's value, and for a violent orangutan like Koba who has not learned to love, we don't need to give him another chance. Otherwise, it will only cause more harm to the world. what about you?

Hey, let's review some sweet points.
For example, when the injured Caesar returned to his childhood home, he played a video from his childhood. With a smile, the fresh and comfortable Fran Lan taught the cute little Caesar how to say, "home, this is your home". For example, after the melee ended, a group of orangutans involved in the war knelt on one knee, stretched out their left hand, and begged Caesar for forgiveness. Emma burst into tears.

For example, Caesar has a lot of wise quotes, the pony said, as long as the apes see you, this storm will be calmed down, and Caesar, who was seriously injured, told him no, "Apes only cling to the strongest branches, and now I Going back can’t do anything.” The ethics discussion in the second part of the

ethics chapter
is a little less than the first part, but when I saw the Kobas breaking through the human defense line with muskets, I suddenly felt a chill. How weak we are when the tools we use to control the world are also used by other creatures. Recently, I was watching the documentary "Internet Age", which depicts the world of the Internet of Things that is not far away. It is still possible that tools will eventually be destroyed by tools of their own making.

Towards the end of the Tucao chapter
, I had to complain. When the power was restored to the human world, the first thing Oldman did was to pick up the iPad to see pictures of his family. After so many years, Apple can still use it, and I can't help but think of the iPhone that Tom took in Spy: Impossible 4. Emma, ​​if it weren't for Apple's sponsorship, I can only say that Apple is really from the future.
I always thought that Caesar looked very familiar, but I couldn't think of it and it was very uncomfortable. When it was about to end, I was finally relieved. Oh, it looks like Zhou Xingchi's Sun Wukong!

Looking forward to the third part!

    The last one is a warning fable, this one is an anti-war epic. The director reversed the impervious fast-paced of traditional Hollywood commercial films, and used a slow narrative and a heavy tone to show the feud between the two species. The director makes a one-to-one correspondence between the main roles of humans and the apes. A huge spark has been collided between the two views. The drama is extremely tense and catches people, and the ending is even more majestic.

    When I was watching it, I kept wondering what it would be like to make a film of "Rise of Meow Stars". . . There are other settings. Riding a horse is a bit reluctant. According to the size of the orangutan, shouldn't it be used to tame smaller animals like wild boars? . . Also, it’s not enough to improve intelligence. It is absolutely impossible to directly produce a vocal cord structure that can express language (personally think this is the biggest bug). . .
