Rise of the Planet of the Apes shattered all expectations upon its release in 2011, revitalizing a franchise that had long been thought dead and kickstarting my favorite trilogy of films I've ever seen. Let's talk about how that happened.

I actually think this is one of the mistakes they made. I don't think the Gorilla should have been killed off. I think Rocket (just had to Google him) should have been more memorable. LOTR is an example of how many characters should stick around throughout a trilogy. I think the Planet of the Apes trilogy had too many characters come and go throughout. It makes it harder to care about "the group". It was a great trilogy, second to none others made from 2010 - 2020, but it doesn't have the same impact as LOTR, even though it could have.

@@manictiger Well throughout the trilogy, it's made clear that Rocket and Maurice are Caesar's best friends. In fact, they're the only ones who actually stick with him through the whole trilogy. Buck died(may he rest in peace), Koba started a mutiny(and then died as well), and then Luca also died. I completely get what you're saying. But even in small scenes that dont have too much impact on the plot, Maurice and Rocket are always there. Such as whenever Malcolm and co are trying to get the dam started. Caesar is there on horse back waiting for them at the surface. Who else is there with him? Rocket and Maurice.

@manictiger 3 жыл бұрын

@@gayfrog6015 A smart leader doesn't put high ranking officers into high risk situations. Loyalty and talent is too rare for that. Caesar is supposed to be a literal genius, somewhere around 140 - 170 I.Q. That's how he's portrayed in the first movie, easily acing puzzles most humans struggle with. At the end, yes, that's when you kill off beloved characters to show that the odds have turned against the heroes, and that sacrifices have to be made to get back on track. But killing 2/3rds of Caesar's crew from the first film, renders a lot of the ape cage and liberation scenes less important and even bleeds time out of the second film, as they spend about 40 minutes trying to rebuild sentiment, instead of building the next plot in a faster and more sophisticated manner. That kind of exposition is never needed in Star Wars 5 and 6 or LOTR 2 and 3. You know the characters and stakes by the second film and it just goes straight into action. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the heck out of the Planet of the Apes trilogy. Watched it multiple times. But, I see directing errors that I don't see in other trilogies. I think they weren't sure if the 1st one would be a success, so they put all their chips down in the first one, and had to rebuild sentiment and suspense after doing that.

@@Chocobear555I think he came to that conclusion due to the leash in Wills hand. To me (and to Ceasar) he knows he means well (he turned his back because it was a hard decision to make). But that doesn't matter. It's what that leash the hand gesture represents not the intent. If he goes back, Ceasar is back at square one just looking at the world passing by in that familar yet small window. Leaving the other apes behind in this cycle of abuse. This is what made Ceasar saying "NO!" so powerful. He is done submitting going for scraps and not truly being free. Ceasar never hated Will. He even understands why he made those decisions. But something has to give to break that system.

@@indeed260 I believe rather than “understanding” the words via meanings birds understand responses via repeated sounds. So if they repeat something like a name they don’t know that it’s a name, but they know it elicits a specific response from others (their caretakers). The fact that they can’t create a new sentence from random words is proof that the words have no meanings, but they know to repeat a phrase if they want something. Caesar on the other hand creates sentences from new and random words. That is proven by the fact that he and many apes can use sign language which birds cannot. Thus when Caesar speaks it is proof that he is not just copying, he is using language. He understands that “no” has a meaning and that is why he says it.

I like the way you emphasised the fact that Caesar was an ape for a long time, before revealing that it is actually about being human. You captured the essence of the experience of watching the film very well. I think his shame at what he was, comes directly from the fact he wasn't what he thought he was. A perfect reflection of the human condition. What we accept unquestioning, as human nature, is nothing more than learned behaviour.

His metamorphosis from clinging to the window via memory and his drawing to accepting his identity and revolutionizing the freedom for not only himself but for his kind is such an important detail to acknowledge. A triumph of growth and a triumph of breaking free from the metaphorical and physical chains of oppression. What an amazing film analysis. Great job man.

There’s all these people you don’t know, you’re alone, afraid, worried no one’s ever coming back for you. Such a strange feeling.

But even so, nothing has touched this moment that Serkis gave to us with Caesar... the closest was Zachary Quinto reaching down to scream “KHAAAAAN” when Kirk was trapped and died.

The feeling of isolation, an outcast, betrayed by the people you trusted, thus shaping you into a leader of your own domain. Acquiring the ability to defend yourself mentally and physically. Then when the people that left you return, you realize you never needed them in the 1st place. Though you are grateful, you no longer crave their company as you did before because now you found a new home, a new people. Before you were alone and weak. Now you’re with your people, stronger than ever before.
