@@bl8388 laughing at claiming something for a country that , by any logical assumption, doesn't exist any more! It's 2000 years later. The irony is that not only the USA ceased to exist by that time, but the whole of humanity as well. Not only this, but they have even regressed into the level of animals. So the flag, and all what it stands for, was a sad joke indeed after-all, and the cynical, laughing man had the insight and the intuition to see this. His view of humanity, with which the movie started, turned out to be spot on by the end.

@Zebred2001 25 күн бұрын

Yes, Taylor found all sentiments of the triumph of humanity ridiculous. But he wasn't a complete cynic. He tried to humanize Nova by giving her a name and trying to teach her to speak and his pained reaction to the final twist proves that he, probably, much to his own surprise, still had better expectations for humanity.

When he plants the flag he isn't having a burial, he's claiming the planet in the name of the US of A. This is what Taylor finds so funny. The ending we finally get, that Heston liked the most, came from Rod Serling's contribution to the scripts (most of which were re-written). He had actually used it before in a Twilight Zone episode where 3 astronauts crash. Thinking they are on Mars one kills the other two to extend his supplies only to crest a final hill and see the Las Vegas sign glaring out into the night showing they had been on earth the whole time and would've been rescued if he'd just been patient.

1) Taylor, the ultimate misanthrope, is forced to defend humanity throughout the movie once the first hunt ends. What irony. 2) Look at Taylor's face while Cornelius reads the 29th scroll. He knows these words could've come from himself only a short time ago. He's stunned. 3) Also, as far as the ending, the quote from Einstein I think applies: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones".

One of the best Sci-fi movies ever made! Based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Pierre Boulle. The original script, based on the novel, was a lot different than the final cut of the movie, as the Apes drove cars trucks tanks jeeps buses trains as well as flying helicopters and airplanes and having a hierarchy similar to the United Nations but this was deemed too expensive and the budget was cut down to $5 million dollars. The film was a box office and critical success making $32 million dollars. It won an Honorary Oscar for Best Makeup at the 1969 Academy Awards.

Linda Harrison (Nova) was a Miss Maryland and first runner-up in the 1965 Miss America pageant. She was the second wife of film producer Richard D. Zanuck (Jaws, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). She used her new-found fame in POTA to get a lead in the TV series Bracken's World a year later but that only lasted 2 seasons. Later credits include Airport 75 and Cocoon (+ sequel). Cool trivia: In 1967, Harrison was featured in some test footage for a Wonder Woman series. Harrison played a glamorous mirror image of Wonder Woman, which existed only in the imagination of the homely Diana Prince character, played by Ellie Wood Walker. Nothing came of it.

roddy mcdowall, who plays "cornelius," just 2 years earlier played a high school student (he was 35) in the film "lord love a duck." one of the weirdest and wildest films you're ever likely to see. he was a child actor who starred in john ford's oscar winning "how green was my valley" (1941). he starred in 2 kid classics in 1943 "my friend flicka" and "lassie come home." he also appeared in "the longest day" (1962) about d-day, "the poseidon adventure" (1972), "the legend of hell house" (1973) and "fright night" (1985). he has a credit list about a mile long. one of my favorites. thanks for the video.

"Don't look for it Taylor. You might not like what you find.." The most chilling line of the entire movie.

Really enjoyed your conversation about the film. And yeah, the twist was a big deal when Planet of the Apes originally opened in movie theaters.

41:35 - you may recognize the president of the ape council - that's James Whitmore. He played 'Brooks' in The Shawshank Redemption.

To put it into a modern perspective: The initial spaceship-crash was actually filmed with a full-sized spaceship fuselage in Lake Powell, AZ (where Charlton Heston and his surviving crew narrowly escape downing). Check out the absolutely amazing, feature-length _Behind the Planet of the Apes_ documentary for more info on this whole sequence. (Side-note -- for PS5/PS4-owners out there, Lake Powell, AZ is a swimmable location in the video game _Horizon: Zero Dawn_ -- I always like to pretend I'm Heston in the movie when I visit there.)

I was born in '71 and my sis in '75. We never watched any of these movies in the theater, BUT back in the day when there was only basic cable and HBO, TBS would run a Planet of the Apes marathon once a year, and we would watch it in its entirety every single year. We still let each other know when'where the movie series is available to this day. Thanks for doing these reactions!

one of the greatest joys of some of the rebootquels, when done right , is seeing the passage of time in filmmaking and how much we have learned. there is a magic and humanness in this one that will always be relevant. so much of this film is in the DNA of the newer trilogy and clearly in Kingdom.

57:28 Mark! The closing credits montage and the music during it, for "In Harm's Way" reminds me of this movie! Probably because of the stormy ocean waves and nuclear explosion? 🤔

At 34:40: Pause, and examine the map, more closely. Look vaguely familiar ?! I think I remember part of the Forbidden Zone's Area Code (212). I was born across the bridge, in B_____yn. Jerry Goldsmith, in scoring this movie, used a record variety of musical instruments (some exotic).

Charlton Heston (who was a huge star for 30 years) was invested in the film from the first Idea. It took a few years for it to develop. It would rest on the ape makeup to make it realistic and not laughable. Not just people in an ape suit. If Heston pulled out they had their eye on Sean Connery.

I would love to see reactions to the other 4 films (not many people do reactions to them)-- Also, recently watching Rise with subtitles, I noticed Tom Felton's character is named 'Dodge'! Not only that the credits reveal his full name as Dodge Landon! (Obviously references both characters from this film)

She kept grabbing the bars, because she saw Taylor being defiant and standing up, so she decided to do so as well, gaining back some of her humanity. The reason why she wiped away what Taylor wrote and put her hand up against his mouth, because over the course of time it was forbidden for them to speak or even write. Throughout the centuries they kept this memory of how dangerous it is for them to speak.

I had a massive crush on Roddy McDowall, who plays Cornelius, at the time I saw this movie (late 70s?) & I loved that you could see his acting (& his incredibly expressive big brown eyes) through the amazing ape makeup. He’s also fantastic in the original Fright Night (1985), you guys should give it a watch!

@Dreamfox-df6bg 25 күн бұрын

Is he a villain? It's obvious that he already knows the truth and he can't be blind to the similarities between the human civilization, that destroyed itself, and the way his own develops. If the Apes stopped going after humans,, would they start going after each other? Right now the Apes can focus their violence and cruelty on the humans. And even if the chances are slim, is he wrong trying to save his people from themselves? Mind I'm not saying that he is a nice guy, but a villain? For hoping to buy enough time for his people to grow beyond the point were they would destroy themselves?

@AsianAtTheDisco009 25 күн бұрын

@Dreamfox-df6bg I guess the better word to use would be antagonist, but it's his cold stance and zealous beliefs that make him such a great villain to me. He means well, but he's willing to do everything in his power to conceal the history, thus controlling the truth of the world and his people. Basically, he's what Nazism would have been if the Reich did succeed for 1,000 years. His intentions mean well for his kind, but he will be damned before he lets a human stand above ape-kind, and he's even willing to silence one of his own members of the scientific community. A ruthless orangutan whose faith is willing to justify everything from the slaughter of humans to the hushing of any and all oppositions to said faith. A frightening character on screen and an even more frightening individual in real life. That's why I love him as a villain of cinema

1:16:22 Mark! Oh, that's what others referred to! Ahem. Maybe one of the baby dolls does resemble the baby doll in this movie, but the "Barbie" scene is inspired by "The Dawn of Man" prologue sequence of "2001: A Space Odyssey"! By the way, the same prologue gets used in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"! 😊

There were no miniatures used in the crash landing scene. The landscape was real as was the ship in the water. The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in the states of Arizona and Utah is where larger portions of the film were made, including Lake Powell ... the lake where the crash landing occurred.
