Now it seems that this film has the momentum of the "Lord of the Rings" series in terms of narrative structure. Recently, many film critics have given super high evaluations that it will catch up with "The Lord of the Rings", excluding major scenes, the first "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is much more interesting than the first "Lord of the Rings".
Contrary to my expectations, the story did not continue to develop following the plot of the first part. The film began to introduce the background of the story in the form of rolling subtitles. Humans were tamed by viruses, and everyone gathered in a small slum. This is very incomprehensible. Since everyone is immune to the virus, why gather in such a small place, no energy is not a good reason, nature has an inexhaustible supply of trees and other materials to make a fire. In addition, it can be seen that the city has already become an empty city. What are humans afraid of before encountering apes?
Of course, if you're serious about the plot, you won't be able to watch the movie.
The story of the film revolves around Caesar.
There is a leadership momentum in Caesar's gestures. Like all leaders in American blockbusters, Caesar loves peace and is full of love for his people. It is completely a replica of Thor in Thor.
When talking with a friend recently, when I talked about leadership qualities, I think the most indispensable thing is a tolerant, grand and fraternal heart, and Caesar showed this aspect vividly. The way it thinks, the calmness when dealing with problems, and even when it finds out that it has been betrayed, this is the temperament that a king should have.
I always feel that when Caesar stands up and looks into the distance, there is a Vin Diesel feeling in "The Fast and the Furious", as if he is alone.
Caesar didn't want war, and most humans didn't want war either, but there were always some people who would stir up everyone's emotions.
People who try to provoke war are often people who hope to become kings, but they don't have this ability. It has never changed in American film and television works. There is a line in "Breaking Bad", you kill Gu. Can he become Gus?
Leader temperament does not happen overnight, even if the leader is gone, the temperament will remain in the team, so when the new leader (sorry forgot the character name) found that someone in the team was still deeply influenced by Caesar, he killed him and sent Caesar loyal servants were imprisoned.
The rule written on the wall that apes do not kill apes had already been broken when he betrayed Caesar. By this time, he had completely ignored this established rule.
After Caesar recovers, he rejoins the team. In order to establish his prestige, he must compete with the new leader. After a big explosion, the new leader picks up the gun and points it at Caesar despite the cries of his kind (Apes never change bullets, Khan. )
In the last moments of his life, he raised his head and said to Caesar that apes do not kill apes. Caesar replied, You are not fit to be an ape.
I prefer to look at this film from the word trust.
In the movie, there is no complete trust between humans and humans, apes and apes, apes and humans, and even partial trust is unattainable for most characters.
And this highlights the value of trust.
I thought that the movie would bring Caesar and the humans in the first movie together, maybe returning to the place called HOME, which can be regarded as home.
The story doesn't end there.
