If humans no longer have language, if the IQ of apes develops rapidly and becomes intelligent creatures on the planet, what will be our fate? The new world of the movie IP "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" under the title
could have been interesting, but the filming was very embarrassing.
The old rule is to get the movie tickets first.
01
I have been able to speak human language for 300 years, but I still don’t know a word
. The timeline of this film is 300 years after the death of the original orangutan boss Caesar, and the changes in the orangutan world and the human world.
I don’t know if the director is still discriminating against orangutans deep down, or what.
Orangutans have been able to speak human language for 300 years and still live in primitive tribal societies.
is logically unreasonable.
Our male protagonist is Noah. The name
is also very meaningful: Noah's Ark.
Noah was a man who led various species to survive the Great Flood.
He was originally a carefree little gorilla.
's current biggest goal is to grow up well in their primitive falconry tribe and find their own eagle eggs. The premise of
is still quite incomprehensible.
Because although humans have become so intelligent that they cannot speak, the original writing is still there. Why have orangutans become smarter and can speak human language, but these people have never thought of learning from human civilization?
The admiration for a better life is an instinct.
However, the director wanted all the orangutans not to have this thought. As a result, no one understood human civilization. As a result, all human civilization became invisible, and the outer walls of all high-rise buildings were covered with plants.
Under this unreasonable premise, one orangutan couldn't stand it anymore, and finally burst out with ambition. Director
said, if you can do it, go ahead.
So he began his expeditions east and west and conquered many primitive orangutan tribes.
This is the normal development process.
Maybe the director wanted to say that what I was photographing was primitive society. Although there was originally a guide to the civilization of modern society in it, I wanted the orangutans to play the game themselves, so I pretended that they were not interested in the guide.
This ambitious orangutan tribe also captured Noah's tribe.
He gathered the captured tribes together and asked everyone to work together to open the door to the treasure house left by humans.
02
The desire to lie down interrupted the process of the orangutan slave society
If we look at it from the perspective of an individual, that is, Noah, I am a primitive orangutan who lives a good life without any desire or desire. Suddenly, an orangutan takes my father. The tribe boss was killed, and then forced us to work together to find equipment to upgrade the tribe. What does
equal?
It means that you were a farmer in your hometown, but someone came over and insisted on taking you to work in a big city. When you went to the boss, he deceived you that you would make a lot of money when your performance was good, and you could change your life.
Enterprising people may resort to involution and work overtime day and night, waiting for the moment of change to come.
But, Noah is not.
He wanted to take his friends back to his hometown and continue to lie down.
The person who prompted him to have this idea was a human girl, Meier.
Mei'er said that you should take your partner back to your hometown and lie down so that you don't have to work hard. I want to kill your boss. Let's work together. I will kill him and you run away.
Noah believed it, and he cooperated with Meier.
The tyrant was killed. Noah returned to his hometown and continued to lie down, riding horses and flying eagles every day, as much as he liked. Meier got the communication code and returned to the human base. She used the communication code to contact other humans.
In a word, everyone has realized their original good expectations.
03
But, is this really the case?
Noah believed in Meier because they had a common enemy at that time, the false Caesar.
With the help of Meier, Noah can take his friends home.
However, Meier chose Caesar for other reasons besides their common enemy.
In fact, from the perspective of the entire orangutan community, the fake Caesar promoted the development of orangutans.
Just like the development process of our human beings, primitive tribe, slave society, feudal society, and modern civilization, this is a process that must be experienced in order to continue to change.
To complete this process, there will definitely be pain. Without this process, you would not be able to leap from primitive tribe to modern civilization in one step.
You haven’t tried and failed, you can’t choose the right one.
You must have an economic foundation to find a suitable superstructure to maintain it.
Meier interrupted the process of orangutan slave society, and the orangutans had no choice but to start over.
When Noah and the others returned to their hometown, they had to start over again to develop slowly and accumulate materials. Then one day someone's ambition broke out and they began to fight against the slave society.
If no one interrupts, the orangutan society will experience the process of everyone being enslaved by the fake Caesar all over again.
This is not bad, after all, it is a normal orangutan social replacement without human interference.
The worst thing is that Meier's original purpose.
04
Mei'er was the last of a certain group of humans to be killed by the fake Caesar.
This group actually has a purpose.
Their purpose is probably the communication password in the basement.
Maybe if you collect 3 of them, you can summon Shenlong - other people on earth.
Maybe everyone escaped separately, hid in different places, and then obtained the password connector.
After everyone gathers, it is unknown whether they will make a comeback.
At the end of the movie, Meier goes to see Noah with the pistol hidden behind her.
It’s obvious what Mei’er is thinking.
She said that the earth has been human before, and the earth has been human before civilization.
So what?
Are they coming back to kill all the orangutans? Or are you coming back to rule the orangutans?
Since orangutans also have high IQs, why can't everyone coexist?
Although Noah saved her several times, she was wary of him.
She represents the complex psychological state of highly developed human beings.
She knows how to use power to help herself. Even if there is only the last person left in the human race, she can turn defeat into victory with her ability to control people's hearts.
Although she didn't trust Noah, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.
Human beings will not become extinct. There is a reason why humans can imprison many animals in zoos and circuses.
As human beings, when we look back at ourselves, do we really like them?
Waiting for the big army to come back, it is obvious that someone will advocate killing all the apes such as Noah.
But the simple Noah gave Meier the breast chain representing peace. This was expressing his wish for peace to Meier. Maybe it was a seed of peace. Let's all live in harmony and lie down together, right? Humans don't get involved.
05
Is Noah’s idea really right?
The life he pursues is the life of a primitive tribe.
However, in the face of possible human counterattack, the orangutans should finally unite.
Noah’s pursuit of peace and quiet is actually a bit small.
You don’t have to be violent, but you should unite all orangutans and promote the development of orangutans. Instead of the whole group not knowing a word for three hundred years, there will be no future like this.
Because you can't pass down the wisdom of a group by word of mouth.
The result is that only a few people gain wisdom, and they will always wander in the primitive tribe, and the orangutans will not be able to progress.
Of course, this is from the perspective of the development of the entire ethnic group.
Moreover, one is a good medicine and another is arsenic. Even if I hate iron, I cannot learn it for the orangutans.
hopes that in the next part, the orangutans can really resist the human counterattack.
Finally, this director is not good enough. More than two hours is the standard length of blockbusters nowadays, but I almost fell asleep in the cinema.
is mainly because the first half is too lengthy. Some less important content is repeatedly shot, and some important key information is passed over in one stroke. Therefore, the Douban score is not high. This poor rhythm control is an important reason.
From the artistic point of view of the film, it doesn’t matter if I watch it to the end. The main subject matter itself triggered my thinking.
