What do you want to do?

A few years ago, I watched the first episode of The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and I was quite impressed. At that time, I felt a bit like Jurassic Park, with rich imagination, logic and reason. The gorilla with thinking is portrayed just right. Unexpectedly, it took me three nights to finish the third part, and it was because I didn't have the habit of abandoning dramas to support it to the end. I don't understand what emotion the film is expressing. Caesar didn't do everything from protecting his race to avenging his son. On the contrary, his choice made his race suffer. And the human army represented by the general, after all kinds of arrogance and domineering, the general was infected by a germ on a doll the night before the war, and then committed suicide. WTF! Then the general's feelings for his son who died of the virus and then betrayed his superiors sparked a big fight, which also became a joke. After all, what do they want?

    Unique temperament, slow rhythm (non-pejorative). Whether "humanity" will actually have nothing to do with "human beings", and whether human beings are good carriers of civilization at present, these two questions are well asked and answered. Whether or not it becomes a classic in the end, it is a useful attempt on the theme of human survival in film history.

    The trilogy completes a self-examination journey of human beings' own existence and history through Caesar's point of view. The third part is so perfect to complete the sublimation of the themes of the first two parts, and at the end it shapes an ape-man Moses, to Great love finds divinity. The pacing of the whole movie is slow, but you really can't resist the powerful emotional penetration and impeccable dramatic conflict, definitely my favorite movie of the year so far!
