CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Taylor (Charlton Heston) understands that he's on Earth when he finds the wreckage of the Statue of Liberty.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Originally intended as a project for Blake Edwards, the film version of Pierre Boule's semisatiric sci-fi novel came to the screen in 1968 under the directorial guidance of Franklin J. Schaffner. Charlton Heston is George Taylor, one of several astronauts on a long, long space mission whose spaceship crash-lands on a remote planet, seemingly devoid of intelligent life. Soon the astronaut learns that this planet is ruled by a race of talking, thinking, reasoning apes who hold court over a complex, multilayered civilization. In this topsy-turvy society, the human beings are grunting, inarticulate primates, penned-up like animals. When ape leader Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans) discovers that the captive Taylor has the power of speech, he reacts in horror and insists that the astronaut be killed. But sympathetic ape scientists Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter) risk their lives to protect Taylor -- and to discover the secret of their planet's history that Dr. Zaius and his minions guard so jealously. In the end, it is Taylor who stumbles on the truth about the Planet of the Apes: "Damn you! Damn you! Goddamn you all to hell!" Scripted by Rod Serling and Michael Wilson (a former blacklistee who previously adapted another Pierre Boule novel, Bridge on the River Kwai), Planet of the Apes has gone on to be an all-time sci-fi (and/or camp) classic. It won a special Academy Award for John Chambers's convincing (and, from all accounts, excruciatingly uncomfortable) simian makeup. It spawned four successful sequels, as well as two TV series, one live-action and one animated.

For everyone saying that Taylor's dumb for not realizing that he was on Earth, he was simply in denial, as most people would be in his situation. Taylor did notice the similarities starting with the Apes, and how similar their societies were, with guns and horses, apes, and of course humans. After finding the human ruins, Taylor had already started putting the pieces together. That's why he goes out into the Forbidden Zone, to confirm it for himself. He's not shocked here, he's angry and sad over the death of his kind.

@declanjames5604 Жыл бұрын

I think you’re drawing too distinct a conclusion here, I’d say it’s more likely that Taylor’s being in denial was possibly as much intentional as it was simply something of a plot hole, but plot hole or not doesn’t undermine the effectiveness of the twist at the end. Considering Serlings work on the twilight zone, in which literally the exact same ending was used for “I shot an arrow into the air”, (in my opinion, one of the worst handled twists in the series) I think it’s fair to assume that the twist alone was something of the time, yet not a detracting factor as it was most definitely a shock to audiences then, and while it isn’t a “shock” to us now, is still just as effective.

In all likelihood, natural selection and evolution probably recycle patterns frequently. A major coincidence (correlation), doesn't necessarily point to causality. Taylor would have had to make the initial assumption in the beginning that Humans lost the first position in the food chain, with no evidence to support that, had he thought he was back on Earth.

What I like about this is the mixed ending. Charleton Heston (for now anyway), escapes, gets the girl, and has kind of a triumphant victory over Dr. Zaius. But then he is faced with the horror of recognition here. In a way he triumphed, but in a way he lost.

@McLarenMercedes 6 жыл бұрын

It also proves that Dr. Zaius knows a lot more about humans than he lets on or admits. Following this ending it also becomes perfectly clear why Dr. Zaius hates humans - he knows they turned a lush planet into a desert wasteland. "The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise but your kind turned it into a desert." He thought he triumphed and that mankind had a future on this planet. He's given a nasty reality check when he discovers that the planet is actually future Earth and humans destroyed it. So much for the "superiority" of better civilization of mankind. Taylor won his freedom but discovers that his freedom is ultimately meaningless given the harsh reality he has learned. As such the original Planet of the Apes maintains its legendary ending. There's just eerie silence (aside from the waves) and no score when the closing lines start rolling.

@Total_Recall 6 жыл бұрын

I love when he is shown the exhibit of captured humans at his trial, and Zaius asks if he acknowledges kinship w/ any of them. He sees Landon who then turns and Taylor sees the surgery scar on his head. Then screams in fury and runs at the apes and has to be restrained, "You cut out his brain, you bloody Baboon"!

I think that back in the 60s the audiences just never really considered the fact that extraterrestial life might diverge from that of the Earth to any significant degree. Just look at all the Star Trek episodes featuring aliens that look exactly like humans and speak English. The same applies to the environments on different planets: bear in mind that in the 60s our knowledge of other planets was still very limited, people still believed that there could be actual water and breathable air on the surface of Venus until 1970's Venera 7 proved this theory wrong. Yes, I don't think that this twist would work on somebody watching this movie in this day and age without prior exposure to the spoiler: they would probably just immediately assume the planet was Earth just due to the abundance of similarities. But back in the day it was really quite powerful.

The gut punch about this is that before discovering the truth, Taylor at least had the solace that Earth was still out there somewhere and doing fine even if he never got to go back to it, and there was always a slim chance of a rescue.

Ive seen a lot of people get confused because it seems so obvious he's still on earth from the beginning but honestly, look at it from a scientific perspective. Once they landed they assumed it was an alien planet because that's where they were going to begin with. Then take into consideration that they're astronauts and have probably spent decades theorizing over what life on other planets would look like. Its not unreasonable to think that perhaps life and its essential building blocks eventually lead to the same outcome with slight variables depending on which planet you're on. For instance the main character probably assumed evolution went exactly as it did on earth but instead of homosapiens being the dominant species, it was a different species of ape all together. Finding out that's not what happened and in fact the apes just took over would be staggering

This film captures something that very few if any modern science fiction films can even grasp the surface of: tension. Throughout the entire movie, you are not fed the answer with bulky exposition or clunky dialogue, but the director trusts that the audience can sit and think about things throughout the film. The Planet of the Apes is a master class in how to create suspense in the audience while still keeping perfect pacing. I sit here watching this scene, remembering how my jaw sat agape when I first saw this movie many years ago when it was revealed that he was on Earth the entire time. The director puts everything you need to know right in front of you, but like Taylor, we accept that this desolate wasteland with men treated like cattle cannot be our home. Honestly, if there is a better science fiction movie, I have yet to find it; The Planet of the Apes deserves a place among history as a true masterpiece of cinema.

it’s been parodied endlessly, but for good reason. most of these “escape from alien planet” movies create a sense of horror at being trapped, but give you the sense of safety because there’s always home, there’s always Earth. This ending is absolute hopelessness, because not only is there no way off, but this hellish planet where humans are slaves IS Earth. There is no home and everything you knew has been destroyed. That’s what sets it apart, because it deconstructs the idea that there’s a way out in the end. You’re stuck here forever, and what’s worse, you can die knowing your home has become your prison.

I like the music choice in this scene. In that there is almost no music at all. A lesser film would've used some bombastic orchestra in the background upon showing the statue of liberty to tell you that this scene is supposed to be shocking. But not this one, there's just a subtle note quietly playing as he's realizing where he truly is and then it just cuts to silence once we see what he sees. Nothing to be heard but the tidal waves along the beach, just as he would've only been able to hear in this moment. He may have one friend to accompany him, but he is truly alone. He's the only one who remembers what was lost, in a world that has long forgotten it and (mostly) doesn't care to remember either. I don't think there's any way to have better incapsulated that kind of terror than what they did in this movie, ending it in almost pure silence.
