series amplifies the ugliness of human nature, and projects the truth, goodness and beauty onto the evolved orangutan, creating a unique origin story.
played a reversal in the subsequent second part, and the ugliness of human nature also appeared on the orangutans, reflecting on the coexistence of both sides of human nature.
has reached the third part, and the ultimate battle of the apes that everyone is looking forward to has finally arrived.
However, this time, the director may be trying to add irony. In fact, humans and orangutans did not really fight at all. Humans would never think that the last enemy turned out to be themselves, a story of death. Director
at the end of the film once again showed us the tragic spectacle of the end of the world.
Compared with the description of the end of the world that we are familiar with in the past, the end of the world in "Rise of the Apes 3" is more bleak and more ironic.
Compared with previous movies describing the destruction of the earth, the "Rise of the Apes" series can be said to provide a new perspective.
Now let’s take a look at how the earth is destroyed in these classic movies? One of the reasons for the destruction of
: celestial body impact
masterpiece: "Heaven and Earth Collision" and "Peerless Tribulation"
In 1998, these two disaster films with the theme of small celestial bodies hitting the earth were released one after another, which caused people to think about the occurrence of such collisions. And this has induced concerns about large-scale tsunamis and dust covering the sun and global ice.
There is a conjecture that the extinction of dinosaurs may be due to the impact of extraterrestrial bodies such as asteroids or comets. The second reason for the destruction of
: global warming
masterpiece: "The Day After Acquired", "Snow Country Train", "2012"
Due to the long-term predatory destruction of natural environment and resources by humans, the earth's own balance system has been facing collapse, and mankind is about to face unprecedented natural disaster. "2012" is the end of the earth.
The melting of polar glaciers and sea level rise caused by global warming have destroyed entire cities and put the entire human society at risk. "The Day After Tomorrow" described the terrifying consequences of the greenhouse effect with unforgettable special effects, that is, global climate change has caused seasonal disturbances, and sudden strong cold currents have instantly frozen the bustling city.
The story background of "Snow Country Train" is an unsuccessful attempt by mankind to alleviate the greenhouse effect. This well-intentioned disaster also shows that the global climate is a very complex system, and self-righteous changes are likely to trigger the "butterfly effect."
The third reason for the destruction: biochemical experiments are out of control
masterpieces: "I am a legend", "zombie end of the world"
such films imagine a mysterious disease or out of control biochemical experiments, which will directly turn most humans into walking dead; The surviving normal people have to struggle to survive in this world where modern civilization has collapsed. The fourth reason for the destruction of
: artificial intelligence is out of control
masterpieces: "Terminator" series, "Mechanical Enemy"
In the "Terminator" series, tireless intelligent robots with weapons have formed another kind of "civilization". The humans on Earth that created them were slaughtered. Nowadays, many top scientists are calling for restrictions on the development of artificial intelligence technology. They worry that in the future, it is very likely that humans will really be destroyed in the hands of robots. The reason for the destruction of
: Alien invasion
masterpieces: "Independence Day", "Frozen Planet", and "World War"
This is the most classic theme in science fiction movies. Alien intelligent life attacks the earth with technological strength far beyond human beings. Become the new master of the earth. The representative work "Three Body" by Liu Cixin, a famous Chinese science fiction writer, actually belongs to this category.
Compared with these doomsday-themed movies, the doomsday concept proposed in the "Rise of the Apes" seriesThe most novel and bold.
In 1963, French writer Pierre Bull wrote the novel "Planet of the Apes", which tells the story of three explorers set off from the earth to an extraterrestrial planet. On this planet, the apes are the dominant intelligent and civilized species, while humans are reduced to beasts.
Now the newly remake "Rise of the Apes" series has made a bolder setting for this story.
So where is the biggest irony of the new version? It is a virus hidden behind the main line of humans and apes.
ALZ-113, developed by human laboratories, possesses a high degree of contagiousness and lethality. It destroys human society and 90% of the population. The virus that caused the massive extinction of mankind began to mutate and the surviving humans began to degenerate. Human beings divided into two factions to start a civil war whether they should kill the sick compatriots.
At the end, the movie completely presents the whole process of human beings themselves.
If you are looking forward to seeing this apocalyptic battle, please look forward to the movie "Rise of the Apes 3: The Ultimate Battle" that will be screened on September 15th.
